...canon would not be a best-of, or a greatest-hits list of works made about New York, or in New York, or by New Yorkers.... The key was that the choices be unmistakably New Yorky, even if a few weren't all that good David Edelstein knows his list of movies is heavy on the 70s, "But if you're looking for films that capture something emblematic...

Non Canon Review: Tremors

...Canon" mark). I had never seen it theatrically, like 99.999% of the rest of the world (I was only 10. What the fuck was your excuse?!?!?), so even though I was tired and needed to pack (I'll be visiting family for a week), I stuck around What makes the film work, besides the engaging comic banter, is the sheer number of survivors.

Non Canon Review: Jaws 2

2008-02-03 09:55:00 by BC in Horror Movie A Day
 
...canon review for this one, which is considered the best of the sequels but is also the least interesting, in my opinion Unlike 3 (3D, water park) or The Revenge (a shark swims thousands of miles to hunt down and kill the Brody family, Mario Van Peebles), there is nothing really exciting or unique about Jaws 2 . Structure-wise, its almost the...

Non Canon Review: Day Of The Dead (2008)

2008-03-30 05:06:00 by BC in Horror Movie A Day
 
...Canon Review... thats because I saw the Day of the Dead remake last fall at a test screening, and didnt review it on the basis that A. I already had a review for that day and B. it wasnt finished. My rule is, unless I love the movie almost completely (such as Repo ), or its a complete, un-savable abomination (like Invasion ), I wait for the...

Non Canon Review: The Exorcist (1973/2000)

2008-06-10 15:39:00 by BC in Horror Movie A Day
 
...canon! Trust me - Ive seen The Exorcist before (both versions). Granted, I saw it rather late in my horror fandom life (when the new cut came out I was 20, and had only seen the original about a year or so before - NOW mock me), but thats better than my late-to-the-game ages for other landmark horror films such as Rosemarys Baby (27) and...

Non Canon Review: The Fog (1980)

2008-06-13 20:52:00 by BC in Horror Movie A Day
 
...canon review, because I remembered the jist of the film, as well as certain particular scenes (like when our two groups finally meet together in the church), even though I hadnt seen it in over 10 years (and on a TV broadcast at that). I also remembered that I thought it was pretty damn good and didnt understand why lots of folks (Carpenter...

Non Canon Review: The Thing (1982)

2008-06-13 20:38:00 by BC in Horror Movie A Day
 
...Canon review for The Thing back when I last saw it, on a double bill with Invasion of the Body Snatchers last year, but I guess not. What a jerk I am Then again, its hard to review a film as close to perfect as this, especially for someone as cynical and sarcastic as me. I dunno about you guys, but the reviews for films I downright love tend...

...canon) reviewed thanks to revival screenings, and with 1 and 2 due to be re-released in special editions (1 will be uncut, and on Blu-ray!), I figured I would start with Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning and go in order up until Freddy vs Jason (ugh), then go back for the first 2 when they come out in a few weeks. Makes sense, no? No...
