Fool's Views (7/25 – 7/31)

Heh heh. Got 'em in on time again. Color me stunned.

July closed out with a wave of 80s Cronenberg, a month after revisting his 70s oeuvre, as well as wacky Japanese sci-fi, low-tech zombie fare, and a ton of expiring civilian Netflix streaming options. (Fair warning: having finished his film journals, you can expect to see a spike in Cheston viewings in future FV installments.) But most notably, I was obliged to drag out my copy of Return of the Fly in order to debate its debatable merits with the estimable Jon Kitley. Nothing like a good ol’ fashioned clash of the geeks to get your blood up.

As always, feel free to leave your two cents worth – we’ll make sure you get some change back.

Enjoy!

Fool's Views (6/13 – 6/19)

Greetings, true believers,

Yes, it’s true I’m a month behind again with the Views. Chalk it up to rehearsing and/or performing two Shakespeare shows, a wealth of copyediting assignments and composing an epic article for the next issue of HorrorHound. However, as the temperatures rise and the schedule slightly clears, it’s time to return fingers to keys and nose to proverbial grindstone. (If, by the way, you ever hear of my putting my nose to a literal grindstone, please contact the authorities.)

This week represented my last great viewing buffet prior to being overwhelmed, so you’ll notice a wealth of themes and a bevy of flicks, everything from Brit plague epics to Tiffany Shepis horror/comedies, soggy creature features to a quintet of Cronenberg, edgy docudramas to not-so-edgy Tom Cruise vehicles. Hopefully something for every taste, and if not, we’ll be back with more in a jiff.

As always, feel free to leave your two cents worth – we’ll make sure you get some change back.

Enjoy!
