*FILMS DISCUSSED: AN INCONVENIENT SEQUEL, ATOMIC BLONDE, THE BIG SICK, READY PLAYER ONE, SUBURBICON* Chris and Graham talk to producer Aaron Brungardt about this weeks films. Graham was inspired by Inconvenient Sequel. Chris found Atomic Blonde a little uneven but overall good. The Big Sick is a really good film in Graham’s eyes. Ready Player One trailer looks like Spielberg is in rare form. Suburbicon trailer has everyone a little cautious. One good DVD and then two different films in theaters this weekend. This episode is like a loyal boyfriend or girlfriend.

Beware of Mr. Baker Review

In Theaters, Movie ReviewsBy Lord Carrett October 31, 2013 Leave a comment

Beware of Mr. Baker, is a documentary about Ginger Baker, one of the world’s greatest drummers. It made me audibly express amazement twice, and only once because of his drumming. The film’s title is taken from a sign at the gate of Baker’s South African property–and talk about truth in advertising! B.O.M.B. begins, and ends, with Baker physically assaulting its director, who then laughs it off! Celebrity insulates, but some artists are so influential that it’s an honor to be in their orbit, even momentarily, regardless of the circumstances.

Review of Nightbreed: The Cabal Cut

Movie ReviewsBy Neil Weakley October 30, 2013 Leave a comment

What was released in 1990 was about a 100 minute horror/slasher movie that was truncated from about two and a half hours. That’s a lot of lost footage.

Carrie Review

In Theaters, Movie ReviewsBy Dave Huntsberger October 24, 2013 Leave a comment

If you’re unfamiliar with the plot for the movie Carrie, it’s essentially all the ingredients for a school shooting, except Carrie has no access to guns. What she does have, though, is a particular set of skills. Powers if you will. As she deals with the adversity of being picked on in school, of having a terrible home life, she slowly develops these skills. And then one day, at the prom of all places, the emotions spill over, and her powers get out of hand.

That’s right, folks, another October, another Shriekfesst Horror/SciFi Film Festival! And this year was a particularly good one! Some years there is a clear one or two films that aren’t great, but this year had a particularly solid group of films. I must say I was impressed.

Insidious: Chapter 2 Review

In Theaters, Movie ReviewsBy Matt Weinhold October 7, 2013 Leave a comment

So, as most Comedy Film Nerds fans know…I LOVE horror movies! I try to see almost every one that comes out (unless they have truly horrible word of mouth) and as we get closer to October, that need for cinematic scares grows even more urgent. So why have I been avoiding seeing the new James Wan frightfest Insidious: Chapter 2?
