Ready or Not 2: Here I Come

Thursday, October 8th, 2026

The unanswerable question: is it called READY OR NOT: HERE I COME, or READY OR NOT 2: HERE I COME? Depends if you ask the opening credits or the closing credits. I guess we get to pick.

Would you believe there was a seven year gap between this sequel and the first READY OR NOT? I was surprised it had been that long. But I suppose directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett have since made SCREAM, SCREAM VI and ABIGAIL*, so the math does add up. The fact that I found all of those to be perfectly fine, not great, may have contributed to me not getting around to this one in theaters (even though I did get to the in-some-ways-similar THEY WILL KILL YOU). But it’s also why seeing it now I’m surprised at what a solid and enjoyable sequel it is. (read the rest of this shit…)

Double feature: Bruiser (2000) / The Faculty (1998)

Tuesday, October 25th, 2022

During this year’s October viewing I wanted to revisit a few things that I consider lesser movies from directors I like, that I haven’t seen since they came out decades ago. You know – just to be sure.

I started with a forgotten later one from George A. Romero – his last non-living-dead-related movie, BRUISER. I was disappointed in it at the time, but that was 22 years ago, and I’d had high expectations for it since he hadn’t had a movie in 7 years. There was that gap between his Hollywood stint in the early ‘90s and his return in the new millennium, and it was in the middle of that period that I became obsessed with DAWN OF THE DEAD and KNIGHTRIDERS and everything. So it was a big event when he finally came back with this odd French-American co-production starring a dude from LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS. (read the rest of this shit…)

Street Kings 2: Motor City

Friday, May 6th, 2011

tn_streetkings2I know what you’re thinking: if I had remembered that there was a STREET KINGS 1 I think I would be surprised to find out that there’s a STREET KINGS 2. Well, this is a new movement of unexpected DTV franchises along with S.W.A.T. and SMOKIN’ ACES. To my surprise it also fits with the current trend of increasingly high quality DTV sequels.
