Errors of the Human Body

Following my two enthusiastic viewings of Errors of the Human Body, I was luckily able to have a short correspondence with the director of the film, Eron Sheean. Although Errors is his feature directorial debut, Sheean had previously written and produced the Xavier Gens film, The Divide. Sheean is, in my opinion, definitely someone to keep an eye on in genre cinema. Check out our chat below, and for more on this film, read my very positive review of Errors of the Human Body from earlier in the week.

Reign of Fire

I almost constantly find myself discussing film with my dear friend George. Often these conversations shift to us debating what we believe to be perfect films. Over the years our opinions have changed and even differed. For a quick example, and a very high one on that list of our bickering catalysts, is the whole Han shoots first thing. He is wrong, and is clearly an asshole.

This article is not supposed to be about that though, so let me stay on track here. This is about where we do see completely eye to eye. A perfect film does exist, and its fucking name is Reign of Fire!

What do Children of the Corn 2 through 7 and Halloween 6 through 8 have in common? Nobody wants them, and that’s why they’re living comfortably together as a nine movie set in Walmart dump bins across the country. Echo Bridge has re-packaged the Children of the Corn sequels over 25 times (on both DVD and Blu-ray). Children of the Corn 666: Issac’s Return seems to be their favorite, it has been included in several sets including the 15-Film Man Cave Sci-Fi set, 8-Film Haunted Hallows set, just to name a few.

Ah, The Oscars are here once again. Most of the film admirers of the world start swooning, handing out their two cents on who should win and who will win. “Which film truly DESERVES to win?” is a common question asked during this time. I, automatically assuming that anyone who clicked the link to this cares about the topic, am pleased to offer you my predictions of which films will win which categories and why. The films in bold are the ones I believe will win. The films underlined are the ones that I believe should win.  Before each segment, I will explain why.

Anthology films seem to be making a huge comeback in independent cinema. Even outside of the horror genre, anthologies related to places or specific people are being announced all the time. But, as it’s been in the past, horror anthologies are the most prevalent. Recently we’ve seen V/H/S, Trick ‘r Treat, and Chillerama. S-VHS, the V/H/S sequel has already premiered at Sundance. Now, Tim League of Drafthouse Films and Ant Timpson bring us the 26 film long anthology, The ABCs of Death.

Like The Void, which only exists in Alpha Flight member Shaman’s medicine bag, this version of the Brotherhood only exists in my butt. Let’s call it the Marvel Multiverse FabulASS! In this Multiverse, RuPaul’s X-Men do battle with Sharon Needles’ Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. You see, RuPaul made Sharon famous, but the fame went to Sharon’s head and she turned on RuPaul. Like Marvel’s Civil War, battle lines were drawn, sides were chosen and friendships were destroyed. The most shocking of all betrayals was Michelle Visage’s decision to join Sharon in her quest to destroy RuPaul and his  X-Men. It psychic versus psychic as RuPaul aka Professor X leads his team of mutants to defeat Sharon Needles aka The White Queen and her team of Evil Mutants!

THIS AIN’T RUPAUL’S BEST FRIEND RACE!!

Superhero Crossover: RuPaul’s X-Men

Reality TV is one of the worst offenders when it comes to producing the same crap over and over. The Discovery and History channels have at least 25 shows dedicated to people reselling garbage, and how many singing competitions can one person actually watch? However, that doesn’t mean there are not a few diamonds amongst the piles of regurgitated poop.

RuPaul’s Drag Race is more than a diamond, it is a diamond covered in unicorns and bacon. It’s the best thing that ever happened to Logo, entertainment and humanity. That is why I chose the X-Men and RuPaul for this edition of Superhero Crossover. RuPaul deserves the best, and the X-Men is one of the best superhero teams Marvel has to offer.

Real Men Cry At Movies

If you’re looking at this website, you probably love films. If you’re like me, then you deeply love them. They affect you in a way no other art does. You can get emotional just thinking about moments from a movie. Case in point, I was re-watching Cinema Paradiso. It is one of the great films about the love of film. It’s a film that reminds us that going out to the movies is a communal experience. It can never be replaced by video on demand. Our emotions are intertwined in the memories of seeing a film. In its final scene, all these feelings about life and cinema came rushing over not only the main character but me as well. And what did I do? I cried like a God damn baby. If you haven’t seen the montage that ends this masterful film, stop reading, find yourself a copy, and proudly join me in a good cry. Even thinking about the nostalgic Ennio Morricone score is making me misty eyed.

These Movie Posters: 1/22

These Movie Posters

Just like anything, movie posters have the capacity to be fantastic or horrific. Most times they do little more than let you know a movie exists. Some large picture, bold type, a date (and if you’re lucky, you might even get a quote or two). But sometimes we get something that is bizarre, intriguing, and pulls you in because of itself, not the information it was created to portray.

So I’ve collected six posters of films coming out that have grabbed my attention because of their design, and nothing else. While this may seem counter-intuitive - after all, a movie poster is meant to sell the film, not itself – I feel when questions are left unanswered, or the movie poster gives more than someone would expect, it stays with its viewer longer and leaves a more lasting impression.
