October 26, 2025 in Blogs, Curiosity Inc.
A few questions for you, gentle readers: What’s the last musical biopic you saw? Did you see it in a theater, at home, or both? What’s the last musical biopic you rewatched? Read the rest of this entry →
Movie Curiosities: Black Phone 2
October 23, 2025 in Blogs, Curiosity Inc.
I don’t think anyone saw this coming. Even when the filmmakers had told us well in advance that they were planning on making it. Read the rest of this entry →
Movie Curiosities: Good Fortune
October 21, 2025 in Blogs, Curiosity Inc.
“The Prince and the Pauper” was written all the way back in 1881, from the satirical genius of Mark Twain. While I doubt that Twain completely invented the story and themes out of whole cloth, it’s become the commonly accepted shorthand for the concept. It’s a story about a rich boy and a poor boy who are somehow identical enough to switch places, so the wealthy and powerful one can get a sense of what it’s like to be dirt poor and vice versa. And in the end, they both learn the grass is always greener on the other side and being rich isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Read the rest of this entry →
Movie Curiosities: Bone Lake
October 14, 2025 in Blogs, Curiosity Inc.
I know I’m behind on my backlog, but it’s tough for me to find any interest in the wide releases that are out right now. I need something new. Something off the beaten path. Something shocking.
Well, I sure as hell got more than I bargained for this time. Read the rest of this entry →

Gotta say, I wasn’t predicting this one to be such a pitiful commercial bomb. Read the rest of this entry →
Movie Curiosities: One of Them Days
October 10, 2025 in Blogs, Curiosity Inc.
Earlier this year, we got a shitty movie about a woman who gets herself into criminal dealings and mortal danger, debasing herself in every possible way and burning every bridge in sight, all because she needs to raise a few thousand dollars in one day or get evicted. That movie was called Night Always Comes. Read the rest of this entry →

Movie Curiosities: The Life of Chuck
October 6, 2025 in Blogs, Curiosity Inc.
I was kicking myself for missing out on this one. The critics were all raving about The Life of Chuck, but the film was such a humiliating box office bomb that it didn’t last long in theaters anyway. And now that I’ve finally seen it on DVD, I can tell you why. Read the rest of this entry →
Movie Curiosities: Good Boy

It’s a cardinal rule of filmmaking: Don’t kill the dog. Do anything you want to the human characters, but you’re beyond redemption if the pets are hurt. Read the rest of this entry →
Movie Curiosities: Oh, Hi!
October 3, 2025 in Blogs, Curiosity Inc.
Oh, Hi! is set in the scenic hamlet of High Falls in upstate New York. The joke is that the welcome sign is broken in such a way that it reads “O High Falls”. Read the rest of this entry →
Movie Curiosities: Until Dawn
October 1, 2025 in Blogs, Curiosity Inc.
Because there’s no better way to bring in the spooky season than with a shitty horror movie. Read the rest of this entry →
Movie Curiosities: Tim Travers and the Time Travelers Paradox
September 30, 2025 in Blogs, Curiosity Inc.
Here’s one that came right out of nowhere. Seriously, I can find precious little information about where this movie came from or how it got made. Not even in the DVD’s special features — because there aren’t any. Read the rest of this entry →
