Happy almost Halloween everybody! In anticipation of the premiere of our Web Series (November 8th!), we got two first-graders to send you a special video message for the holidays! Lots of candy, everyone!

Hey everybody!  We are now two weeks away from the premiere of Episode 1 of the WET COOKIES Web Series– WOO! We’re working our asses off right now to get the trains running on time, but in the meantime– Please enjoy this little video of Drew’s dog, Remus, and his musings about why he’s so [...]

“TRUE BLOOD” on HBO.  Now, I know, this may seem like an odd choice, as it is currently an INSANELY popular show.  That being said, I must speak about this show in a way you will not find any other reviewers talking about it… In my previous post, I spoke (complained) about the dire need [...]

M. Ward’s new (ish) instrumental track off Hold Time called “Outro (A.K.A. I’m a Fool to Want You)”.  It’s soulful, heartbreaking and most importantly, very LA-sounding with its faintest edges of surf rock peeking through.  It’s mostly a repeating series of chords (that’s most songs, really), but in this case, the repetition and variance on [...]

I have been meaning to write this for a week now.  I even had a big thing written a week ago.  It was all but ready.  I didn’t publish it.  It was very angry and dark.  I got to a very troubled place talking about it.  Even though I felt it was persuasive and, more [...]

In 1971, director Melvin Van Peebles wanted to make a dollar and a cent in this business, and God Damn It, he didn’t want it to be a movie about a white guy.  So he made a movie called “Sweet Sweetback’s BaadAssssss Song.”  Towards the end of the movie, Sweetback is left for dead in [...]

Here is Adam’s answers to the common questions that will be brought up by our nosy family and friends.  Feel free to invent your own. What Does the Man Do? Right now, he’s a recurring cast member on the very under-appreciated show Parks and Recreation. Chris Pratt is the kind of actor who charms up [...]

Nightmare City “Nightmare City”(1980), Directed by Umberto Lenzi, Not Rated (equivalent of an R) Quite frankly, this will probably be the least scary film I’ll put on this list. And this isn’t one of those films that tries to be scary and fails — no, this is a film that is more or less an [...]

Hello Wet Cookies fans and those who have never heard of us! Our Web Series is coming very soon, and it will premiere right here at Stay On Fountain November 8th, and every Sunday after that through the Holidays! Observe this sneak peek sketch (featuring someone who may-or-may-not be the Gypsy Lady from “Drag Me [...]

I stepped onto my Los Angeles flight to Washington, D.C. with only the faintest idea of what would actually happen when I got there.  But an unusual feeling came over me when I realized this– for the first time, I felt like even though I had no immediate plan, or even a map to this [...]

Near Dark “Near Dark” (1987), Directed by Kathryn Bigelow, Rated R At first I was a little hesitant to include this film on the list because I feel it’s a little too well-known. Then I was walking through a store the other day where I saw merchandise for “New Moon“, the new Twilight film, prominently [...]

Prince of Darkness “Prince of Darkness” (1987), Directed by John Carpenter, Rated R I feel like I can’t make a horror film list without mentioning John Carpenter – it just isn’t possible. I mean…Halloween. The Thing. And, to a lesser extent…The Fog.  So, with this list’s theme being an appreciation for the lesser known, I’ve [...]

Zombie “Zombie“(1979), Directed by Lucio Fulci, Not Rated (equivalent of an X at the time it was released) “We Are Going To Eat You!” Okay, now we’re getting into the meaty (pun intended) stuff. This here film, an italian cheapie made as a “sequel” to DAWN OF THE DEAD, has become almost as legendary. Never [...]

The “Seinfeld” Reunion on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” The old set has been reconstructed.  All of our cast is back, and now we’ve got Larry David in the mix, too.  The ten-episode season focuses on getting the gang back together for a reunion show, which each of the principal cast members (as themselves) acknowledges is a [...]

In 1993, I went to Universal Studios Florida for the first time with my family.  It was a glorious moment, as I was at this time knee-deep in my growing love of non-Disney movies.  Funnily enough, the attraction I was most eager to get into was not the Back to the Future Ride or the [...]
