Movie Rambling & Reviews

A general look at trilogies, I lost off a few. The focus was to discuss movies that have 2 and need that third to make it a trilogy. In good Rambling and Review fashion, I just go off on a tangent rambling about various trilogies and a few that deserve one last movie to complete the vision.

More winter movies that induce the cold. A year ago I had another Winter themed episode, discussing some of the chilling movies. This episode I choose some lighter movies of sorts. Two different types of comedic movies that incorporate the winter landscape as an additional character. Fargo and Grumpy Old Men, one a dark comedy of sorts and the other a buddy romantic comedy. With the " Polar Vortex " looming over parts of America, these movies will help pass the time of the deep chill in the air. Thank you for listening and more to come in the future.

A new year and what better way to welcome it, then a list of favorite horror movies. The list of ten movies, may not necessarily be the best of 2024, however the ten that I know I'll revisit in the future, some might even be a regular annual watch. I don't break the movies down, more just give a response to why it made the list. I do give a few honorable mentions as well. Thank you for listening.

Just a quick rambling to inspire the upcoming holiday. Needed a distraction so I thought I'd ramble about those holiday comfort movies. In regards to these "comfort movies" it is in reference to those cinematic staples that you watch around the holidays. I have many great memories of going to the cinema or sitting on the couch with my siblings, absorbing a movie or several movies. I rattled off a few examples in the episode. One example being, a marathon of James Bond movies on a cable network. I plan to do a deeper rambling in the next episode about this mega franchise of cinematic gold. Hope all is well and enjoy this small appetizer for a much larger episode.

Every October, the magic of the season turns up my viewing to straight horror and it becomes... Shocktober. With a few simple rules : 31 different subgenres of horror 10 different countries with at least one movie from each decade since 1920 Average rating above 6/10 Majority of the movies, new or new to me It is always ambitious, however attainable. Plus, more and more individuals as well as websites/social media outlets. Post their own version of watching a horror movie a day. Some are more stringent, even giving titles to view While others just give a theme/topic for each day. This was something that changed over the years for me. Encouragement from family and friends has gotten me to this current format. Giving suggestions and tweaks to the formula. Thank you for my listening. You can find my SHOCKTOBER list and others on Letterboxd SHOCKTOBER 2024 https://boxd.it/zelUy Sit back, relax and enjoy my rambling about... Shocktober

The podcast is my personal exploration in the world of cinema and this episode felt fitting to honor the movie series, Friday the 13th, my 13th episode, released on Friday the 13th. This is the first of what hopefully will be a multiple part series, specifically reserved for the days of Friday the 13th. I briefly touch upon the various movies within the series. Rambling about my personal feelings towards them. I then take a deeper dive into my favorite of the series, Jason Lives. Thanks for listening. Feedback is always welcome.

I ramble about movie trailers. Some favorites and one trailer that spoiled the movie. There's a small list of voiceover actors from various trailers. Don LaFontaine Hal Douglas Redd Pepper Percy Rodriguez Mark Elliott General Voice Actors mentioned Peter Cullen Frank Welker It's a subject that has played with me for many a year. A dream profession. Ha ha. Thank you for listening.

Another movie to be added to my "Lightning in the Bottle" collection. Back in 1991, this was the must see movie on my list. Even now it's an exciting viewing, every time. The movie came out at the exact moment with the perfect cast. Like capturing lightning in a bottle.
