I’ll start off by stating that it’s refreshing to see a reboot series of the legendary horror novels on basic television, and not be disappointed! On the contrary, I say The Exorcist is worthy of a Friday night audience.

Why did I watch this again? I guess it is true that you erase bad memories from your brain, but I really don’t remember hating The Blair Witch Project so much the first time around. I even went to the movies to see it when it came out in 1999, I think the reason was mainly because the found footage genre was basically new for my generation and a little part of me hoped these three idiots really did get lost in the woods somewhere in America. 

In honour of Dario Argento’s birthday today I decided to do a review on Phenomena because it is the Master’s favourite out of all of his movies, but most importantly is a film that I adored in my teens - close behind are Suspiria and Deep Red. Let’s be honest here, this is still amazing even 31 years after its release.

The Super Mario Bros. movie was described as a nightmare by many of the cast and crew members; Bob Hoskins himself was the victim of many on-set accidents and injuries, a couple that nearly killed him. Its critical reception was nothing short of appalling and was almost universally panned. In his 2007 autobiography, John Leguizamo said that to get through the shooting of this movie, both he and Hoskins were drinking between takes. For me, personally, it was one of the strangest and most confusing films I would ever watch as a child and is probably the first time I ever tasted true disappointment in something video game related.
