May 23, 2023: The Horror Marathon continues with 5 more bullet reviews!

Phenomena (2023) Three middle-aged women who investigate paranormal events are put to the test when their leader Father Pilón disappears. Inspired by the real Hepta Group. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCu8f5mFI7E&t=3s My thoughts: Lightweight horror comedy that dutifully checks off all the standard occult tropes. Notable for its atypical middle-aged female protagonists, but aside from that...Nothing to see here,…

May 16, 2023: Back Home!

Yatta!  I am finally back in Toronto.  And look who came to meet me at the airport.  None other than Suji.  And Akemi tagged along! As I was leaving Montreal, ending my 9 day shift in La Belle Province, my sister was clocking in from her vacation.  It'll be back to the old grind for…

May 15, 2023: Last Full Day in Montreal!

Day 9 of 10 of this Montreal trip is fast drawing to a close as I prepare to return to my wife, my dog and, of course, my bed. The whole reason I came here was to take care of my mother while my sister was away.  By "take care", I assumed that meant doing…

May 13, 2023: The Horror Marathon is back on!

Enemy (2013) A man seeks out his exact look-alike after spotting him in a movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJuaAWrgoUY My thoughts: You'd be hard-pressed to find a more lethargic execution of this premise. Some of the character logic is hard to swallow; equally so the obtuse symbolism. 2.5/5 High Life (2018) A father and his daughter struggle to…

May 12, 2023: Writing, Capunti con Broccoli, and Columbo!

Holy smokes!  What a productive day!  I completed the first draft of Issue #2 of my horror comic (Grand announcement forthcoming), finished a first pass on the overview for that small town supernatural mystery series, also completed a first pass on the Business Plan for my indie horror film, and bought an oilfield service stock…
