Cherish The Mighty Metallica While We Have Them (72 SEASONS Review)

Image
 For about 25 years or so, pop music has had a stranglehold on the mainstream. With Korean bands entering the scene, it seems to continue with much strength. Musical trends, so I've been told, go in cycles. This cycle, however, seems to have been unusually long. But I'm too old now to get upset over such things. I've grown to not care so much about what other musical genres take over the mainstream. It was a fools game to even care at all. People are going to like what they like. They aren't wrong about what they like either. Music is subjective. And who am I to deprive anyone of something that gives them joy? Having said that, every now and then during this time of pop dominance a rock or metal album comes out and gets the mainstream spotlight again. And this time it comes from The Might Metallica.  On November 28th of 2022, I woke up to an unexpected music video drop. For a brand new Metallica song called "Lux Aeterna." With no warning or announcement. And s

Final Girl For The New Era (Happy Birthday Neve Campbell!)

Image
 Born on October 3rd 1973, Neve Campbell, the television star of "Party Of Five" had made a handful of films before starring in the cult classic "The Craft." That alone would be a great film to have on your filmography to give yourself some horror clout. But in 1996 she starred in what would be an instant classic in the horror genre, Wes Craven's "Scream." It was the perfect balance of heart racing screams and self aware humor. Much like Craven's previous film "New Nightmare," it set the stage for a new era of horror films, which gave The '90's its specific flavor.  The beginning of the new millennium would end the franchise as a trilogy with "Scream 3," and she would move on with her career until the powers that be decided to reactivate the franchise with 2011's "Scream 4." This would be the final "Scream" film with Craven as director and though it seemed like a final act for the classic cast, th

Do Early Halloween Celebrations Begin In September? YOU BET YOUR PUMPKINS!

 I'm not trying to toot my own horn, but when September 1st hit, I would go pull out a few old Halloween records (converted into Mp3s) and hype myself up for 'spooky season.' October Eve. Early Halloween. Whatever you call it. Impatient? Sure. Jumping the gun? Yeah. Appropriate? Who knows... But for all those that live the lifestyle of delightfully creepy things...reading books, listening to music, watching horror films, roaming around stores that have their Halloween merchandise out early...September seems just right. The Eve to the best holiday for young and old! For those that remember their younger years...going from house to house Trick Or Treating in their Halloween costumes, enjoying watching scary movies, playing festive games...that feeling never dies. Nor do we WANT it do die. Like a Zombie Santa Claus, spreading Halloween cheer, the feeling slowly crawls towards you year round until this September celebration it JUMPS at you! Like a classic jump scare. So to thos

"Now That's A Name I've Not Heard In A LONG TIME..."

 1999 is a year I'm quite fond of. It was May and I was over the moon excited about the return of a franchise I had not seen in theaters since 1983. That film was "Star Wars Episode VI: Return Of The Jedi."  We fans wanted more Star Wars. And we did receive it by way of Expanded Universe stories in comic books and novels. But that experience of seeing Star Wars in the theaters was an aching hole in my heart, I'll be honest. And I grew up. Now, all of a sudden, roaming around Toys R Us, I was seeing BRAND NEW Star Wars action figures. Something I had only dreamed of (yes, I LITERALLY dreamed of new Star Wars action figures when I was a kid). And now it was a reality. Soon, I would be seeing "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace."  That prequel series would end with 2005's "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith." And thankfully the franchise has moved along with sequels and a new flood of comics, books, and games. Then...Disney + came alo
