(Leonard Buccellato) 8/20/2019 10:18 AM EDT On October 31st, 2010, The Walking Dead premiered on AMC and the world of horror on TV was permanently changed. Say what you want about the trajectory of this show, there is no denying the impact it has had on mainstream television.I became a fan of zombie-horror movies when I was a kid, and my mom, who is a horror fan herself, recited to me, the ...

(Leonard Buccellato) 5/6/2019 1:47 PM EDT There are two types of people, those that love the Vince Gilligan/Peter Gould, Breaking Bad Spinoff Series, Better Call Saul, and those that are wrong! Especially if you are a fan of Breaking Bad, you owe it to yourself to watch this well thought out and incredibly well-acted series.Gilligan/Gould have created an amazingly watchable world, populate...

(Leonard Buccellato) 4/2/2019 1:40 AM EDT Face it… Fan-girls and boys, love Hellboy. And really, what's not to love? A red-skinned, snarky, Nazi-hating demon, which fights for and with, the good guys. Not to mention, a quasi, semi-secretive government agency that directs his actions to destroy paranormal and Lovecraftian threats to planet earth?! Think about it. IT has al... Read More |
(Leonard Buccellato) 3/19/2019 11:15 AM EDT Stepping a bit out of my horror comfort zone, I set upon the task to watch Lionsgate's 4K re-release of the 2005 Nicolas Cage thriller Lord of War.I am far from a Nicolas Cage (National Treasure) fan; however, in this case, I found myself really engaged in watching this movie. Let me say that Yuri Orlov is one of the most despicable characters to g... Read More |
 
(Leonard Buccellato) 3/10/2019 2:17 PM EDT My mother always said, if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything. My grandma, however, said if you are reviewing a film, then put them on blast for being derivative, unimaginative and trite. Luckily, I'm about to find a happy mixture of both of their points of view, as I review Mortal Engines.Post-Apocalyptic fiction/entertain... Read More |
(Leonard Buccellato) 3/4/2019 11:58 AM EDT At the risk of pulling a Groundhogs Day review, Fear the Walking Dead Season Four bolts out of the gate and makes a fast run for the finish line. On March 5th, 2019 Morgan Jones (Lennie James) departs from his friends in The Walking Dead and meets up with the friends and family of Madison Clark (Kim Dickens). The gore is about to hit the fan:In Sea... Read More |
(Leonard Buccellato) 1/21/2019 12:04 PM EDT A long time ago, in a galaxy not too far away, Universal Pictures released the most bloated, and expensive movie of all time (prior to Titanic).At the time Waterworld was released, it seemed that it could do nothing right in the eyes of critics and movie-goers, alike. I remember disliking it, immediately, although that was due more to my dislike fo... Read More |
(Leonard Buccellato) 12/21/2018 4:28 PM EDT I have a Love-Hate relationship with Eli Roth.I can count the number of movies of his, which I have actually enjoyed, on 2 fingers. On the other hand, I think his enthusiasm and love for, and knowledge of, classic horror, and Genre movies, in general, is really admirable. Not to mention, he really seems like a genuinely good guy. But back to ... Read More |
(Leonard Buccellato) 12/3/2018 9:46 PM EDT There's something to be said for persistence and in some cases, it can trump raw talent. This is the case with the newest and 5th installment in the Conjuring series, The Nun.Released by Warner Bros, produced and co-written by James Wan (Saw) and directed by Corin Hardy (The Hallow). The Nun stars Father Anthony Burke (Demian Bichir, The Hateful Ei... Read More |
(Leonard Buccellato) 11/19/2018 10:58 PM EDT When Mark Wahlberg and Peter Berg work together we, the moviegoers, are undoubtedly prepared for a fast-paced and excitement-filled movie ala Deepwater Horizon and Lone Survivor. We are also likely to be treated to an action film that is able to connect its characters to the audience.Mile 22 delivers an action-centric, yet, otherwise, flawed, thril... Read More |
