Opinions are like assholes. And let's face it, we're assholes.

Well it's officially 2010. With the new year started The Doctor and I decided we would break out our time machine and take a look forward. We will be giving our opinions on upcoming trends and technology in gaming, good and bad. And also we will be taking a look at some new games to have on your radar this year.
It was a hell of a good year for genre releases and it was tough as hell to pick only thirteen titles from all the killer films I viewed this year. After making endless lists and narrowing those lists down time and time again, I finally realized it was shit or get off the pot, I had to select thirteen to offer you as my guide. These are 13 of my favorites that I have placed in the KillingBoxx permanent library.
Yes, yes, it's that time again. The X-mas season, time to run out and spend tons of money for lots of people, for no real reason at all. But if you have a gamer in your life, I'm here to help. Here is my list of the 13 things to buy for that special gamer in your life. They are in no particular order, they are all good and will be appreciated more than socks or a fruit cake.
I will dispense with the long preamble and get to the point. It's Friday the 13th and in honor of the occasion I have decided to dig up some fresh ones that you may have missed. These are future classics that you should molest before they get stale, or start to rot. Don't be the last lunatic on the block to see these movies!
If like me, you are a fan of a well-done haunted house, Fright Kingdom located just off Route 3 at 12 Simon Street in Nashua N.H. is one you do not want to miss. Located in a former industrial building, the entire facility is indoors guaranteeing that weather will never be an issue; rain or shine you can still get your spook on! There is ample parking and attendants to make sure you don't get lost on your way to the scares. However, you should beware of an axe wielding clown often seen wandering in the shadows outside!
This past Saturday evening 10/24/09, I had the distinct pleasure of attending a showing of the Hammer films classic, Brides of Dracula! The film was brought to us by the fantastic folks from Saturday Fright Special in yet another of their Spooktacular's. You may remember that I wrote up their last soirée when they rolled out King Kong vs. Godzilla. This time around instead of Kaiju we got bloodsuckers, and let me tell you it was a blast getting to see this classic on the big screen!
The KillingBoxx crew has just returned from this year's Rock & Shock show. Rock n Shock, an event unique to New England and the horror convention circuit in general, combines horror culture, celebrities, metal heads & bands, all under one roof in a quintessential North American factory town. Held in the center of town at the DCU Center, they managed to cram a horror convention, a hockey game and a gaggle of Christian women all under one roof, in one weekend.
For those of you who enjoy seeking out films that are not mainstream, or have simply slipped through the cracks of pop culture radar and landed in obscurity, today's list is for you. Take a look, if you find you are in the mood for something a little off the beaten path these just might be something you will enjoy. Some of them are pretty well known and others are not. The one trait that they share is that they are quality examples of artisanship within the medium of film...
Rounding out our crush lists, Thérèse has dropped her guard and delightfully exposed herself! Stop by to see how many, and what kind of licks it takes to get to the center of our Editorial columnist! As always, she has a few surprises up her sleeves, and down her pants, that will no doubt raise more than just the temperature!
Our music man here in the boxx has chosen to be the next one out of the closet! He has put together a list that I was really hoping I would be able to poke at, but after looking it over I afraid all it makes me want to do is take a Poke at them! He included Michele Carey and that choice alone grants him imunity from my poison pen. Take a look and give him some shit because I can't!
Here is the Head Bitch herself, when riding her fantasy wave in the tub these are the aphrodisiacs that are the measure of her pleasure.. Read the list and see if you have the equipment to fullfill her demands, she likes 'em big , ugly, mean and isn't content with just the boys either! Take a good look at the crossover action that provides the spice to her slice!
Another country heard from, literally! Please take a few moments to check out Karen's list of hotties from across the pond. Staff writer Karen has taken a moment to toss her hat in the ring and give us the low down on the guys that put the shimmy in her money maker! I think you might be a bit surprised with the interesting turn of events that rounds out her list!
Finally the ladies have begun to enter the building! First up is our Art Director Lisa who has been kind enough to drop trou and expose her tawdry male fantasies. Take a good look men because these are the guys that put the motion in this ladies ocean! Suck in your gut, zip your fly and see if maybe you might make the grade. Pay attention to Teacher now boys!
Yet another voice is heard in our quest to expose as many secret attractions and fetishes as possible. Please take a moment to have a look at Rock's list. He likes the older ladies and we salute his choices! It takes all kinds to make the world go round and we want you to be thinking about who motivates your ass into a seat at the movies. It is easy to question others choices but not nearly as easy to lay them on the line is it?
This time our man in the web, Ken, stepped up to the plate and dropped his guard to provide us a peak into just what it is that makes him Jekyll and Hyde when no one is looking! Look at his list and start thinking about your own! So far, it is just the, ahem..."gentlemen" on the site who have come forth. Stand up and be counted, don't be embarrassed, just let your freak flag fly like Ken. If you are a fan of films you have a secret list and we want to know about it damnit!
As part of an ongoing attempt to expose our readers to as much dirt as possible regarding the staff here at KillingBoxx we felt it was only fair to make everyone elses secret little crushes common knowledge. Our video reviewer Mr. Johnny Pace was the second to take the plunge and let the dirt surface. Please take a moment and have a look inside his twisted mind to see just which characters jingled his dingle over the years! And stay tuned because we won't be happy until everybody comes clean here. If you would like to get in on the action please let us know who got you wet, or raised your tent, we would love to know!
We have all been there. Some of us will admit this fact and others will not, whether due to modesty or fear of losing cool points in the game of life. If you are a movie geek (I most assuredly am), you have no doubt found yourself from time to time struck dumb by a character in a film. No, I am not referring to a particular celebrity that you think is attractive, that would be far too mundane!
Often, when in company of the Editor-in-Chief, I find myself taking careful inventory of his coveted and growing video collection. On more than one occasion, I have mooched, scrounged, and borrowed from his vast array of prized goodies in order to enhance my own viewing pleasure. But, being belittling and terse at times, I find myself wincing at some of his decisions. For instance, his Bogart collection consists of ...
Guest writer Janet Monroe has been kind enough to stop by the boxx to tell us about one of her favorite authors, Jack (The Girl Next Door) Ketchum. Pull up a seat and see what she has to say. If you aren't familiar with Mr. Ketchum, let Janet enlighten you to one of America's best!
Film remakes irritate the shit out of me. They're generally pale imitations of the original source material, rife with plot changes, rampant modernization, egregious special effects where none are needed or a more minimal sort would suffice, chock full of "famous faces" who only serve to shame the memory of the original cast and overall, they usually suck so bad that one marvels at the fact that someone was actually paid to make the piece of self-aggrandizing shit, much less that people paid to see it. Of course modern audiences generally know next to nothing about original source material which explains why we were treated to another ...
Being a nerdy film buff, I readily admit to observing how Chinese whispers over the years can twist an original line in a film, or worse still, create one that was not even there to begin with. One of the factoids we often seem to fall victim to is memorable movie quotes misinterpreted. Part of being a geek is making lists; but this time I am doing it more to prove a point!
Stepping forward, I will have to say that I am indeed the mentioned individual conversing with the Editor-in Chief in his article 50 Director's Always Worth Watching. Having made my observation on his choices of viewing materials, and having known him for a number of years, I can safely remark that the two of us have enjoyed many of the same films. We have also had our share of disagreements, such as the thrall concerning Gorillas in the Mist (1988). I am equally confident in the fact that Will is a devout and avid follower of certain thespians. To test the integrity of my belief system, one merely need place a copy of the latest ...
Standing in my living room this morning, coffee cup in one hand, scratching my ass with the other, I began formulating the list I have decided to offer you today. My thought process invigorated by strong black coffee had forcefully brought me to a stimulated state somewhat akin to cognizant reality, oddly enough ...
Every year death comes a knocking for a lot of people. Eventually it will come to visit all of us, sometimes suddenly, without warning, other times it simply makes its presence known a good while prior to its actual visit. Sometimes it is a bittersweet blessing but more often than not it is just plain not fair. It takes commoners and it takes kings with equal impunity, if you live, so shall you die....
In 1930 the major Hollywood studios accepted certain guidelines by which all films would adhere to in terms of moral decency. These guidelines were authored by the Jesuit Priest Daniel A. Lord and forwarded by Joseph Breen, whom ...
25 fuckups you don't ever want to meet!
Remakes, generally as unpleasent as a sandpaper enema
This time he's gone too far! Let's pants him in front of a crowd and pick on his penis!
I wonder if a titty twister and a swirlie might get him to stop this nonsense!
He's at it again, lets give him a wedgie this time and tell everbody he picks his nose!
Hey look! some asshole made a list of favorites, lets pick on it.
Call it what you will, lunching with lunatics or breakfast with basket cases, it's all the same. It is Friday and I have decided to put together a party. It won't be a typical party because the guest list is to be comprised of my favorite movie bad guys....
The great thing about film is that there is something for just about everyone. Especially, it would seem for the comic aficionado and pulp enthusiast ..
This is strictly about DVDs; these are films that became available in wide release to a large audience during the last twelve months. And, this is an Indie-horror roundup only, so don't be looking for any titles featuring Big Willy or remakes.
This is it my end of year round-up of the best 13 Indie Honorable Mention DVD's to come across my screen this year. Granted, most of these films were released prior to '08 theatrically, but I'm not looking at that.
It all started for me back in 1969. I was four and I had gotten out of bed around midnight to pee. I went to the bathroom and could hear the television in the living room. The music was intriguing, compelling me to venture into the hall. I peeked in at my Dad ...

About a month ago the Editor here at the The Boxx approached me about coming up with a list of the thirteen best horror films. Simple enough. I immediately began to piece together a list of my personal favorites, when I realized that this was not going to be the cake-walk I had originally thought. Putting together a list like this was going to require a lot of research to insure I didn't leave out anything of importance.
