Good Vibrations

What A Feeling!
David Duchovny - Gillian Anderson & Stella

Let's kick the week off with some Good Vibrations shall we? "Yes" we shall! Here is a photo posted on Instagram the other day by one Ms. Gillian Anderson with her dog Stella that reunites her with her X-Files co-star David Duchovny.

I was never really into the show and merely watched it a handful of times. Translation: I only watched when friends of mine guest starred on it. This being stated, this duo is nonetheless iconic in the cannons of pop culture and seeing them together definitely sends Good Vibrations.

Throw Gillian's dog Stella into the mix and you got some high octane Good Vibrations. Can you feel them? I certainly can!

So I send you off into another week of unknown adventure with this lovely reunion to keep visions of sugar plums dancing in your head.

Dance sugar plums, dance!!!

Sunday Sinema: Santa Sangre

"4 stars. This is a movie like none I have seen before, a wild kaleidoscope of images and outrages, a collision between Freud and Fellini."

     —Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

It has been hailed as "extraordinary" (The Guardian), "visionary and haunting" (Rolling Stone) and "a grand work of art, full of symbols and imagery that reach beyond language to something primal and original" (AV Club). Now forget everything you have ever seen as the modern masterpiece from director Alejandro Jodorowsky returns like never before, with 8+ hours of archival & all-new Special Features produced exclusively for this collection. Severin Films is proud to present this 2-Disc Special Edition of Jodorowsky's epic odyssey through ecstasy and anguish, belief and blasphemy, beauty and madness - and the surreal genius behind it all - now featuring a 4K scan from the original negative supervised by the director himself.

On Saturday's We Wear Pink...

Getting Into Her Groove
Tiffany Haddish

"Yes" I know in Mean Girls it's Wednesday they wear pink, but today is Saturday. It's today I came across this paparazzi photo of Tiffany Haddish out on the town with pink hair and it is giving me life, so there!

Remember when Tiffany shaved her head bald at the beginning of the Pandemic? Well her hair has obviously grown out and now it is pink.

Gotta say I am loving her latest look, not too many peeps could pull of pink hair and Haddish does it with her usual flair. (hair/flair I made a rhyme, did you catch it Minions?)

Not to mention it, like pretty much everything she does puts a smile on your face. Hey get those good vibes anyway you can...

Mic Drop!

A Ghost Waits

On May 4th, Arrow Video will release Adam Stovall's A Ghost Waits, a remarkable supernatural comedy romance which can best be described as Beetlejuice meets Ghost. Beautifully shot in gorgeous black-and-white, this indie film tells the story of a handyman, a haunted house, and the ghost he falls in love with (an absolutely brilliant performance from headliner MacLeod Andrews, star of The Siren).

An ingeniously unique and unpredictable combo of horror, humor and heart, A Ghost Waits is a DIY labor of love years in the making from first-time writer/director Adam Stovall and producer/star MacLeod Andrews. Tasked with renovating a neglected rental home, handyman Jack (MacLeod Andrews, They Look Like People, Doctor Sleep) quickly finds out why the tenants keep leaving in droves - this house is haunted. The ghost in question is Muriel (Natalie Walker), who is employed from beyond the veil to keep the home vacant.

Against the odds, Jack and Muriel find they have a lot in common... pulse notwithstanding. Having found a kindred spirit in an otherwise lonely existence, they must fight for their newfound affection as pressure mounts for them each to fulfill their "cross-purposes".

From its opening spectral assault to its achingly poignant conclusion, A Ghost Waits has shocked and surprised audiences around the world via the festival circuit... FrightFest,

Screamfest, Ramaskrik, Dead and SudBuried, Nevermore, and Popcorn Frights just to name a few.

Famed critic Kim Newman declared the film to be "one of the strongest first features of recent years," and Leslie Felperin of The Guardian gave it 4 stars and said it was "chock full of delightful narrative surprises, imaginative genre tweaks, and warming performances from its two leads."

Michael's Musings

Nothing Shocking
Michael Shinafelt

"If everybody likes you, you're pretty dull" - Bette Davis 

This quote came up as something I posted to Facebook six years ago. It made me wonder what my exact frame of mind was then that prompted me to post it. It's not that it isn't a great quote or unworthy of attention in general, but you know there had to be something that motivated me to post it. Yeah, I am not really random about those type of things and you shouldn't be either. Time to move forward, never straight...

Colton Underwood came out as gay, while I admit to not knowing who he was prior to this announcement, good for him!!!

When was the last time you heard about the Police accidentally tazing someone instead of shooting them? 

On Thursdays we watch Law and Order: SVU

Just say no to creepy robot dogs

The Cinerama Dome/Arclight cinemas complex in Los Angeles has shuttered 😢 the more you know

"Grizzly"

''GRIZZLY RULES HARDCORE... A JAWS rip-off in the absolutely best way. It's got gore, plenty of tension and a great Christopher George performance.''

     —Bloody Disgusting

Less than a year after the release of Steven Spielberg's shark blockbuster, director William Girdler (DAY OF THE ANIMALS) and infamous distributor Film Ventures International (GREAT WHITE) brazenly unleashed their own 'JAWS with claws' sensation that would become one of the most successful independent horror films in history. Christopher George (PIECES), Andrew Prine (BARN OF THE NAKED DEAD) and Richard Jaeckel (THE DARK) star in this "bloody, sexy and immortal trash classic" (Mondo Digital) about an 18-foot-tall ursus arctos horribilis on a carnivorous rampage through a state park full of campers, and the ranger, chopper pilot and naturalist who must stop it. GRIZZLY now roars with a 2k scan from the internegative plus Special Features produced exclusively for this edition.
