  • Wolf Man Is All Dark And No Bite

    Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Leigh Whannel’s Wolf Man into the ol’ VCR.

    Okay, so, I’m not going to bury the lede here: 

    I give Wolf Man a 5.5/10. 

    I was really, really looking forward to this one, so much so that I went to see it on Friday night, which y’all know I usually don’t do. 

    And, like other horror fans I’ve spoken with and/or read reviews from, I was disappointed. 

    But, let’s start with the positive. 

    As someone with daddy issues, I get the vision here. 

    I also really like the idea of lycanthropy being a permanent transformation, not something that only happens with the full moon; exploring the concept of losing your humanity is fascinating to me. 

    There were also a couple of scenes that I LOVED, including one that was a particular arm-, I mean, nail biter. 

    I even enjoyed the Saw Easter Egg during the barn scene. 

    HOWEVER, overall, the execution just wasn’t there, save for some of the practical effects. 

    I could handle Christopher Abbott’s Brundlefly-lookin’ ass.

    But, I couldn’t handle the Twilight-esque gradient scenes that represent his new vantage point (and night vision?). 

    I couldn’t handle some of the writing choices because the stronger lines made the weaker ones stick out like a sore thumb (and believe me, I’m speaking from experience here).  

    I couldn’t handle the *slightly* problematic message of Blake (Christopher Abbott) becoming his abusive father(?). I understand the cycle of abuse, but again, the execution wasn’t quite there. Although, as someone who grew up with an abusive father, I understand what he was trying to do. 

    I also think I’ve pinpointed exactly why. 

    Leigh Whannell is not only a horror heavy-hitter, but he successfully tackled subject matter like this in The Invisible Man. 

    Additionally, and I’m not saying it’s right, but when you’ve garnered a reputation as a horror powerhouse, a stumble like this won’t be as easily forgiven and/or ignored by your audience. 

    I do think there are good things in here, and I’ve mentioned a few, but I also want to point out another strength of this film: Julia Garner. 

    My GOD. 

    Put this woman in more horror movies, stat. 

    Without Julia Garner, I honestly don’t know if I would’ve rated this movie as high as I did. 

    Sure, Christopher Abbott did the best with what he had, but Julia Garner is the real standout IMO. 

    So…yeah. 

    Y’all know that I love going to the movies, and I’m fortunate to go as much as I do, so I don’t regret going to the movies, but I can’t recommend seeing Wolf Man. 

    I’d stick to the original instead. 

    P.S. Lee Cronin, people are really gonna put your interpretation of The Mummy under a microscope after you came out swinging with Evil Dead Rise, so I would DEFINITELY use this as a learning experience.

  • Animation Domination: Some Of My Favorite Animated Movies

    Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some of my favorite animated movies into the ol’ VCR.

    It should be glaringly obvious at this point that I love animation. 

    I love cartoons, and I practically foam at the mouth whenever I find a new animated series to binge. 

    But, we’ve never really talked about my favorite animated movies. 

    Now, I mentioned this earlier this week, but I have a proclivity for crying at animated movies, and most of the movies on this list are no exception. 

    However, I don’t know how you wouldn’t cry when Lewis gets adopted in Meet the Robinsons, or, y’know, throughout the entirety of Robot Dreams and/or Flow. 

    I don’t know if the animation adds a layer of innocence that doesn’t always exist in live-action films, or what, but they get me every time. 

    There’s also a pretty good variety on this list, from movies without dialogue to the likes of Miyazaki. 

    TL;DR – you should have plenty of options. 

    Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers. 

    Without further ado, here are 10 of my favorite animated movies: 

    • Flow 
    • Hercules 
    • Zootopia 
    • Anastasia
    • Robot Dreams
    • A Goofy Movie 
    • Sing and Sing 2 
    • Meet the Robinsons 
    • KiKi’s Delivery Service 
    • The Emperor’s New Groove

  • Flash Forward: Online Games I Used To Love

    Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some of the online games I used to love into the ol’ VCR.

    With the heartbreaking announcement that Cartoon Network’s website is officially being shut down after 26 years, I’ve been thinking about all of the old online games I used to play as a kid. 

    Now, I wasn’t into Neopets or Club Penguin, which I think tracks because I don’t like to play video games outside of DDR and Guitar Hero-type deals. 

    However, there were a few games I LOVED as a kid that I remember playing for hours. 

    We’ve talked about some of the computer games I loved, like Pajama Sam, but we have yet to dive into the world of online games that were offered all across the internet. 

    Additionally, there are a couple of games on here that I would get to play at school as a reward and/or to improve my typing skills. 

    (You might guess one, but I guarantee you won’t guess the other)

  • Cry Hard: Some Of The Movies And Shows That Make Me Cry

    Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some of the movies that make me cry into the ol’ VCR.

    A super fun fact about me is that I’m really bad about internalizing my feelings. 

    That includes holding back tears. 

    So, whenever I need to cry my little eyes out, I turn to my true love: pop culture. 

    And boy howdy, does it help. 

    (I’m also notoriously bad about bawling during animated movies, so I have to mentally prepare to go see them in the theater) 

    Now, I don’t necessarily have a definitive list of all of the movies and shows that make me cry. 

    Also, some movies and shows might have made me cry during a viewing or two but aren’t consistent enough to be on this list. 

    Finally, I want to be clear that I do continue to work on my emotions and grow, so please know that I understand internalizing isn’t healthy. 

    Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers. 

    Without further ado, here are 11 movies and shows that make me cry: 

  • “Ed, This Is As Close To Hell As I Ever Want To Get.”: A Spotlight On Vera Farmiga

    Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Vera Farmiga into the ol’ VCR.

    On August 6, 1973, Vera Farmiga was born. 

    She was raised in New Jersey and went to Hunterdon Central Regional High School, where, like many of our spotlight subjects, she began acting in drama productions. 

    From there, Vera Farmiga went on to graduate from Syracuse University, where she continued acting in stage productions and received several accolades. 

    After college, she continued to act in theatrical productions and became an understudy for the Broadway production of Taking Sides. 

    Over the next couple of years, Vera Farmiga would take on more substantial roles in shows like Roar and The Opportunist, while also booking her first role in a feature film in 1998 with Return to Paradise. 

    She would continue acting in supporting roles in both television and film until 2004 when she gained acclaim for her role in the indie drama, Down to the Bone. 

    After that, Vera Farmiga’s career took off with roles in The Departed and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. 

    Additionally, she would become a staple of the horror genre with roles in Orphan and Bates Motel, and, most notably, for her portrayal as Lorraine Warren in The Conjuring-verse. 

    Recently, Vera Farmiga also released her first single with her band, The Yagas, which I would highly recommend checking out, especially if you’re a fan of artists like Chelsea Wolfe. 

    Lastly, Vera Farmiga is also the older sister of another scream queen and actor, Taissa Farmiga, who you might know from the likes of American Horror Story and The Final Girls. Taissa also starred in The Nun II, making The Conjuring-verse a family affair. 

    There’s not much more that I can say about Vera Farmiga that hasn’t already been said. 

    Vera, if you ever read this, thank you (and our editor, Elliott, would like you to know that she has a very not-obsessive-at-all crush on you). 🖤

    Without further ado, here’s some of my favorite Vera Farmiga content: 

  • It’s All For Show: Guess Which Episode Is Fake

    Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some real and fake episode synopses into the ol’ VCR.

    Okay, y’all enjoyed A (Fabricated) Christmas Story: Guess Which Holiday Movie Is Real so much that I’ve decided to adapt it into a year-round series, but instead of holiday movies, I’m going to use teen dramas for the game (don’t worry, there will be another holiday edition or two during that time of the year).  

    Riverdale. Degrassi: The Next Generation. Glee. You name it. 

    We’re also going to reverse engineer it and have four REAL synopses with one FAKE synopsis…

    …mostly because I couldn’t fabricate episodes that are more outlandish than some of the plotlines we’ve seen in these shows. 

    Moving on. 

    Today, we’re starting with one of my absolute favorites…

    DRUMROLL PLEASE…

    The O.C. 

    Here’s how it’s going to work: 

    Four of these episode synopsis are 100% real, and one is completely fabricated. 

    Guess which one is the fake and then scroll to the bottom to see if you’re right. Simple as that. 

    Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers. 

    Without further ado, put your thinking cap on, and brace yourself for the (kind of) inaugural edition of It’s All for Show: 

    Episode 1

    It’s time for Chrismukkah, but things are a little…off. When Taylor and Ryan find themselves in an alternate timeline where Ryan never left Chino, Seth and Summer never got together, and the Coopers and Cohans swapped partners, they’re left to try to rectify the timeline and finally let go of the things (and people) that have kept them from moving on. 

    Episode 2

    Seth and Ryan accidentally witness Summer’s stepmother cheating on Dr. Roberts with the neighborhood pool boy but don’t know how to tell Summer. Meanwhile, Julie gets hot for teacher after deciding to head back to school at Newport Community College. Also, Kirsten and Sandy try to revive their relationship with a camping trip that’s destined for disaster. 

    Episode 3

    When Caleb shows up to the Cohan household with a new (and much younger) girlfriend, the Cohan house faces a massive shakeup…which is only exacerbated when she hits on Ryan (who is a teenager, making her a predator). Also, Julie bids Kaitlin’s show horse adieu and contemplates leaving Jimmy. 

    Episode 4

    Sandy is paid a visit from the man who was almost his father-in-law, asking for Sandy’s help tracking down his daughter. She was Sandy’s big love before Kirsten, and has been missing for years. Things heat up between Marissa and Alex, as Marissa continues to rebel against Caleb. Additionally, tensions flare as Caleb is jealous of Ryan (who is, again, a legitimate teenager) for allegedly impacting his relationships with two of his daughters. 

    Episode 5 

    Sandy and Caleb are at odds after Sandy finds out about Caleb’s plans for expansion, leaving Kirsten in the middle. Also, it turns out that Julie has been sleeping with Luke (who, like Ryan, is a TEENAGER). And, Summer might actually like like Seth? 

    Ready?

    Episode 2 is a complete lie. 

  • Fight Night: Horror Crossovers I’d Love To See

    Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some of the horror crossovers I’d love to see into the ol’ VCR.

    Over the years, I’ve thought about horror antagonists that I’d love to see battle it out, Freddy vs. Jason style. 

    So, friends, I’d like to share some of those matches I’ve cooked up in my little brain. 

    And…this one’s for the ladies. 

    That’s right. ALL of these vs. are between female horror antagonists, and let me tell you, they’re good, if I do say so myself. 

    I’m also going to throw in my prediction of how I think the fight would end. 

    Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers. 

    Without further ado, here are five horror faceoffs I’d love to see:

    Jennifer Check (Jennifer’s Body) vs. Mary Lou Maloney (Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II)

    Predicted outcome: Jennifer and Mary Lou passionately make out on stage after Mary Lou is named prom queen and then they both drive away in Christine.

    May Canady (May) vs. Tamara Riley (Tamara)

    Predicted outcome: Tamara uses her magic to try to convince May to gouge out her other eye, but May musters her strength to vanquish Tamara. We then cut to May’s living room where a new doll sits on her couch with Tamara’s eyes, and in the very last frame, one of them winks. 

    Tiffany Valentine (Bride of Chucky, Seed of Chucky, and Chucky) vs. M3GAN (M3GAN and M3GAN 2.0) 

    Predicted outcome: There’s no contest in my mind—Tiffany Valentine would absolutely crush M3GAN, with her knives and her words. M3GAN, eat your heart out.

    Nancy Downs (The Craft) vs. Angela Franklin (Night of the Demons 1-3)

    Predicted outcome: Angela may have demons on her side, but Nancy is a witch with nothing left to lose. Nancy drives Angela to madness and absorbs her demonic powers. The movie ends with Nancy knocking at Sarah’s door, setting up both a sequel to The Craft and this versus. 

    Baby Firefly (House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects, and 3 From Hell) vs. Pearl Douglas (Pearl)

    Predicted outcome: After what is heralded as one of the bloodiest faceoffs in horror history, Baby and Pearl both realize their dreams of stardom are what unite them and decide to take their murderous ambitions on the road.

  • Poisonous Partnerships: Some Of Cinemas Worst Partners

    Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some of cinema’s worst partners into the ol’ VCR.

    Okay, so for the second time this week, I feel like we need to start with some disclaimers. 

    This piece, like our hottest TV parents piece, is (mostly) all in good fun. 

    I’m well aware that there are far worse partners in cinema history, and we’ve touched on them in pieces like our one about Waitress. 

    Additionally, as someone who grew up in a house with DV, I would never want anyone to think I’m trying to make light of abusive partners. 

    For the most part, these partners are just jerky jerks. 

    However, I do want to touch on Glenn’s cheating in The Wedding Singer and Christian’s gaslighting, cheating, and emotional abuse in Midsommar. 

    Their crimes are definitely more serious, and again, I’m not here to make light of their actions. 

    Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers. 

    Without further ado, here are five of the worst partners in cinema: 

    Harper Caldwell in Happiest Season

    Guilty of: lying to her partner about coming out, forcing her partner to pretend to be straight, lying to her family and then doubling-down when confronted, wearing an awful wig 

    Tom Hansen in (500) Days of Summer


    Guilty of: placing unfair expectations on his partner, pushing his partner to put a label on their relationship, borderline demanding his partner feel the same way about their relationship that he did, being pretentious in IKEA

    Christian Hughes in Midsommar

    Guilty of: gaslighting, cheating, emotional ab*s*, being an all-around douchebag

    Glenn Guglia in The Wedding Singer 

    Guilty of: cheating, sexism, misogyny, terrible pickup lines

    Micah Sloat from Paranormal Activity 

    Guilty of: invalidating his partner’s feelings and concerns, refusing to respect his girlfriend’s wishes and boundaries, being insensitive, doing absolutely everything you’re not supposed to do in a horror movie

  • Side-Dish Cinema: Pairing Ice Cream Flavors With Movie Recommendations

    Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping movie recommendations to pair with your favorite ice cream flavors into the ol’ VCR.

    We couldn’t formally kick off 2025 without a brand-new edition of Side-Dish Cinema, could we?

    It’s a blast to write, and y’all really seem to be loving Side-Dish Cinema, so we’ll keep cranking them out.

    Here’s the deal… 

    I pick nine different drinks, dishes, etc…and give you three movie recommendations for each. 

    My picks are based on the overall vibe or theme I have in my mind. 

    That’s all there is to it. 

    Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers.

  • “Flip Your Goddamn Hair.”: A Spotlight On Lucy Liu

    Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Lucy Liu into the ol’ VCR.

    On December 2, 1968, Lucy Liu was born. 

    She was raised in Queens, New York, where she graduated from Stuyvesant High School and then went on to get her degree from the University of Michigan. 

    Lucy Liu booked a commercial when she was 19 and the starring role in her college drama club’s production of Alice in Wonderland when she was a senior. 

    In 1992, she made her film debut in Rhythm of Destiny, going on to land a couple of smaller parts. However, after a role was specifically created for her in Ally McBeal, her career began to take off with starring roles in films like Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and Charlie’s Angels, and supporting roles in movies like Domino and Chicago. 

    Lucy Liu is also an incredible artist and has even created a series for her book, Seventy Two, which includes essays from the likes of Deepak Chopra and Lucy Liu herself. 

    Throughout her career, Lucy Liu has also been a supporter of UNICEF and a spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaign. 

    She’s even been on Broadway in God of Carnage. 

    Additionally, she’s responsible for the sexual awakening of countless queer women. You know the scene in Charlie’s Angels (2000) I’m referring to. 

    In short, Lucy Liu is a badass. 

    There’s not much more that I can say about Lucy Liu that hasn’t already been said. 

    Lucy, if you ever read this, thank you. 🖤

    Without further ado, here’s some of my favorite Lucy Liu content: 

    • Domino 
    • Red One
    • Ugly Betty 
    • The X-Files 
    • Kung Fu Panda 
    • Kill Bill: Vol. 1
    • Kill Bill: Vol. 2 
    • Charlie’s Angels (2000) 
    • Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle 
    • The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest
