Blu-ray Review - Fit To Kill (1993)


The eighth installment of Andy Sidaris's Triple B series, Fit To Kill (AMAZON, Walmart, Best Buy), is now available to own on Blu-ray from Mill Creek Entertainment, who kindly sent me a copy, along with Hard Hunted, (read my review here) to review on this blog. It includes a movieSpree digital code.

The Triple B (L.E.T.H.A.L. Ladies) series began with 1985's Malibu Express and ended in 1998 with Return To Savage Beach. Andy Sidaris directed these films on a low-budget, with bad acting, cheesy dialogue, over-the-top violence, and plenty of nudity from Playboy Playmates and Penthouse Pets. Malibu Express is a private detective story, while the rest of the series centers on the operatives of The Agency (Molokai Cargo) in Hawaii.

Sunday Post - Locke & Key, The Turning, and The Kill Society

Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer!

Good Morning, Everyone!


It looks like Missouri will lift the stay-at-home order on May 4th or 5th, but we're still in a state of emergency until June 15th. Probably not the smartest move by Governor Parson, especially with Memorial Day weekend only weeks away. There's no way people will keep to the six-foot rule for that weekend. I am staying at home, where it's safe.

Blu-ray Review - The Turning (2020)


I've been trying to figure out what the ending of The Turning meant. Did the governess and the children escape the Fairchild Estate? Or was she insane like her mother?

The Turning (Available on Blu-ray & DVD) is a modernized adaptation of The Turn of the Screw by Henry James. Juan Carlos Fresnadillo planned to direct the film under the title Haunted, but the producers replaced him with Floria Sigismondi.

Review - If It Bleeds by Stephen King


For the past two days, I have had the privilege of reading the novella collection If It Bleeds by Stephen King (Available on Hardback and Kindle), courtesy of Scribner.

Warning: Quit reading now if you don't want spoilers!

The first tale is Mr. Harrigan's Phone, which tells the story of a young boy, Craig, who gets a job helping a neighbor, Mr. Harrigan, with his yard and, later, reading to him. The job doesn't pay much, but Mr. Harrigan gives him greeting cards four times a year with a one-dollar scratch ticket inside each one. Although his father said, "He's a cheapster," Craig likes the old man, especially when those scratches paid off. He thanked Mr. Harrigan by buying him a first-gen iPhone.

All Blogs Need Responsive Templates!


Since I'd redesigned this blog at the beginning of 2020, I have been asked multiple times by readers and fellow bloggers where I got the template. Well, here's the answer - its a Sora Template called Sora Ribbon that I purchased for $9.95. A free version can be downloaded. However, I purchased the premium version, so I can make adjustments to fit in with the blog's theme, such as colors, copyright notice, etc.
