THE ANGRY WORLD: Happy Hour in Boiler City

THE ANGRY WORLD: Strong Tequila in Boiler City
The sewer spit out mutant worms Conquering Boiler City in a New York minute imitating a rabid army of Visigoths legalizing anarchy Death pouring out of their slimy segmented bodies lined with teeth or claws and biological weaponry Slithering through streets filled with garbage and crime crushing buses and cars with the glee of an...

Film Ramblings:DEAD SILENCE(2007) Conjuring Up Some Creepy Dolls
Watching some scenes in James Wan's Dead Silence, I felt like a tarantula was slowly crawling down the front of my trousers.

Film Review: LAWS OF GRAVITY(1992) Before the Moustache Wax and Wool Caps
Laws of Gravity, the low-budget 1992 film written and directed by Nick Gomez, takes place in a decaying, pre-hipster Brooklyn. These streets are harsh. There are greater dangers lurking here than a ripped Patagonia vest, or brash Trump supporter wandering into a coffee house sporting a MAGA cap. The view of Manhattan is expensive, but...

THE ANGRY WORLD: The Alley Behind the Dive Bar
Spent half my life out behind this rotten gin joint A harsh prison sentence I'm just a recidivist degenerate vomiting vodka, vicodin and venom Hellbent on a life of introspective mediocrity Ate a hard knuckle sandwich from some dude with long greasy hair muscular arms and an intimidating beer gut Skanky barfly with teeth the...

THE ANGRY WORLD: The Daily Apocalypse
An indifferent sun bleeds through dark velvet clouds the color of cheap boxed wine A gunshot wound on a rock and roll icon Chirping birds mock the early morning Children laughing at an old lady's flabby arms I have survived another apocalypse A speed freak soldier in a broken down taxi cab Plywood seat contorts...

THE ANGRY WORLD: The Forest Near the Furnace

Film Ramblings:DEMONS(1985) And You Thought Chatty Old Ladies at the Cineplex Were a Problem
Coming at you like a boat propeller churning through scared fish, Demons is a hardcore, heavy metal discotheque bloodbath. Like many Italian horror flicks, what it lacks in story and logic, it more than makes up for with gut splattered style and some exciting visuals. Add in a pounding, electronic score by Goblin's Claudio Simonetti... Continue Reading →
