Movie of the Week: The American Scream

Well, it's that time again. Time for me to do a movie of the week, and time for me to recommend another documentary on Netflix! This week, I decided to pick The American Scream. This film documents a few different people and the time and money they spend preparing their houses for Halloween. They turn their houses into haunted houses, sounds simple, right?! No, these people (especially their families) go through hell trying to do this.

It's quite interesting to see how much these people go through, just for their love of Halloween. There are quite a few interesting characters as well. I found myself hooked within the first few minutes, just in awe of what I was seeing. This also showed me that I will NEVER go through that much just for one day. That sounds like no fun, and I don't like doing things that aren't fun. These people are absolutely fucking crazy.

I'd check it out while it's streaming on Netflix, it's really worth a look. 4...FUCKING...STARS.

Movie of the Week: The Man From Earth

Josh here with the movie of the week! A story by Jerome Bixby, which he started writing in the early 1960's and finally completed on his deathbed in 1998. Bixby wrote for such shows as "The Twilight Zone" and "Star Trek." "The Man From Earth" was a film my brother introduced to me years back and it was unlike anything I had seen before. There aren't any tits, or violence, or even music to fill in the some of quite parts. Now don't let any of that fool you, it's still very good. The movie is about a college professor who reveals to his colleagues that he's actually a centuries-old caveman, it all takes place in a cabin and is told almost entirety through dialogue. It's very intriguing and makes you think, use that imagination you might have forgotten about. I recommend it if you are tired of mindless action flicks or dull horror movies with no originality. This one happens to be on Netflix Instant, so throw it in your queue and give it a go.

A Shitty Trailer, but it'll do.
