Geez Louise. It’s utterly pointless for me to produce remotely anything of true value when it comes to talking about this classic of the genre and paragon of cinematic brilliance. Everything about this movie is perfect in it’s field- the directing, the set design, the soundscape, the visuals and the acting coalesce to form a film … Continue reading

[Bea’s Ranting Reviews] Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories [2013]
Time to get SPOOKY! I haven’t got anything fancy to say other than check this somewhat obscure television gem out. Once you see it, it will always shine in your memory like a lighthouse on a cold and misty night.
[Bea’s Ranting Book Reviews] The Stand [1978]
Author: Stephen King Publisher: Doubleday Books Originally published: 1978 It truly is the phenomenon you have heard it to be and worthy of every accolade and piece of praise it has received ever since 1978.

[Bea’s Ranting Reviews] The Girls With Games Of Blood [2010]
Author: Alex Bledsoe Publisher: Tor Books Published: 2010 My little rendition of “The Girls With Games Of Blood” Behold, the inspiration of Patience Bolade. The talent of Laura Nyro really has not been matched even to this day. The woman was one of a kind and was taken away from the musical world far too … Continue reading
[Bea’s Ranting Reviews] The Guest [2014]
Dir. Adam Wingard Starring: Dan Stevens, Maika Monroe, Sheila Kelly, Lance Reddick and Leland Orser Happy 2015, everybody!!!!!! A blast from the past that looks forward as well as back. This is a cult classic in the making, and it’s a damn fine film to boot with a beastly performance from Stevens and a genre-defying … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] American Psycho [2000]
Morality, goodness and the people are expendable. Greed, artifice and accessories are everything. Shocking, culturally impacting and hits very close to home, Mary Harron’s ‘American Psycho’ is a horrific comedy of manners that never flinches from taking off the glove and slapping pretentious, alpha dog driven and ‘me-me-me’ yuppie culture square across the face with … Continue reading
[Bea’s Book Reviews] The War Of The Worlds [by H.G. Wells]
It’s a classic. A true classic for the ages and it’s not going anywhere. Author: H.G. Wells Original publisher: Pearson’s Magazine Published: 1898 Note: Orson Welles (no relation) made quite a stir with his infamous radio dramatization in 1938. Listeners who tuned in 15 minutes after the radio play started without any knowledge truly thought … Continue reading

Vicious, maleficent and cruel. What did you expect from the entertainment industry? Oh hey, it’s a very early appearance from Marilyn Monroe!
[Bea’s Reviews] Double Indemnity [1944]
There’s a speed limit in this state, Mr. Neff. Forty-five miles an hour.
[Bea’s Reviews] Vampire Circus [1972]
-Correction; the film was made in 1972 and the director was Robert Young. By the way, there is now a novelization set in contemporary times. It was serviceable, but part of what made the film work so well was the time period of the 1600’s. Everything felt so isolated in the film that to have … Continue reading
