Short Shrift Theater: The Sleepover

sleepover
THE SLEEPOVER takes us to a town where all of the tropes of the standard slasher movie are very real and known to the citizenry, the job of babysitter is not something that just any pimply faced teen can do. Oh no, my friends. To be a babysitter in this town one has to be a bad  mama jamma who can go toe-to-toe with any hard to kill masked, blade wielding freak that happens to show up primed to murder anyone he meets. And woe be the young whippersnapper who doesn’t take the suggestions that the babysitter gives about making sure your room is secure.

And deep within the heartland darkness, one of The Seven Gates Of Hell demands the blood of the innocent to unleash the creatures of the damned. Ethan Peck (“10 Things I Hate About You”) and Clancy Brown (The Shawshank Redemption) co-star in this demonic shocker featuring original music by producer SLASH and inspired by the real-life paranormal legacy of Stull.

5 Reasons Wesley Crusher Doesn’t Deserve The Hate

Poor Wesley Crusher… the character is possibly the most maligned in all of Star Trek. His name elicits immediate derision from every corner of the Trek universe and one is more likely to find a Sarah Palin fan at a Jay Z concert than to find an actual Wesley Crusher fan. Now I have to admit to having my own bias against Crusher and even joining in on the bashing once or twice but I decided to give Wesley a second chance based solely on how cool of a guy his portrayer, Will Wheaton, turned out to be. The guy … Continue reading 5 Reasons Wesley Crusher Doesn’t Deserve The Hate

Rule 63 Cosplay of the Week: Khan Noonien Singh

khaaaan
It is when I see cosplay like this that I feel pride in geekdom as a whole. Nobody would think to dress up as Ricardo Montalban’s Khan from STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN nowadays (especially not with Benedict Cumberbatch’s version of the character being so fresh on the mind) and to gender swap it is even cooler. Plus this young lady’s costume came with an ear slug. Bonus points for that.

Finally A Worthy Successor To The Room

fateful-findings
THE ROOM is one of the greatest bad movies to ever see the light of day. It’s horribleness is epic and made SyFy Channel fluff like SHARKNADO and SHARKTOPUS look like cinematic masterpieces by comparison. And finally there is a movie that looks to embody all of the goofy amateurish charm of THE ROOM…I give you FATEFUL FINDINGS.
