The 2008 made-for-TV (SyFy Channel) horror/sci-fi film, Bone Eater, which appears on many “Worst” lists, is notable for one thing. Its cast consists of a bunch of long-in-tooth actors that we knew from long-ago television shows. I guess it’s good to know that they’re...

I’ve watched the Poltergeist remake a couple of times since this post last appeared in 2015. My opinion of it has not changed. But the original? Oh, classic! I really wanted to dislike the 2015 version of Poltergeist, a reboot of the 1982 Steven Spielberg classic...

Another strange role for the guy who played Captain Jack Sparrow and Tonto, among others. This post first ran in 2015. “You stole my story!” That is arguably the most memorable line from the 2004 psychological thriller, Secret Window. Based on a short story by Stephen...
