  • Deadline (2009)

    There are some movies that are just so bad that I find it difficult to find enough adjectives to adequately describe how horrible the experience truly was. Deadline is just such a movie.

    The problems with this movie start with the premise. An obviously unstable young woman is left alone in a creepy old house so she can finish her screenplay. Her... Read More

  • Netherbeast, Inc. (2007)

    Netherbeast opens with one of the most creative scenes I've ever seen. An office employee is called into a conference with the boss. Upon entering the office, he sees Mike, a now ex-coworker sitting in a chair with a stake through his heart. The boss is sitting calmly behind his desk and states that he had to stake Mike because he ... Read More

  • R-Point (2004)

    Horror movies set in the Vietnam era are few and far between, so when I found R-point, my interest was piqued. And when I suubsequently read that this South Korean tale is one of the highest -grossing horror films in that country, I decided to watch.

    Have you ever gotten the shivers when your phone rings? Has your heart ever beat faster when putting the instrument to your ear? If not, it is doubtful that seeing the Korean movie Phone will create that sense of dread.

  • Kaidan (2007)

    If you have read my call for Horror help you are well aware of my nigh eternal quest for scary movies of high caliber. Being a little tired of the same cliches in modern stories, when I found a historical ghost story... Read More

There are some movies that are just so bad that I find it difficult to find enough adjectives to adequately describe how horrible the experience truly was. Deadline is just such a movie.

The problems with this movie start with the premise. An obviously unstable young woman is left alone in a creepy old house so she can finish her screenplay. Her only companions are her laptop, a bottle of medication, and a movie camera. While exploring the house, she finds a cache of video tapes left from the previous inhabitants. As she watches them, she gets sucked into their story of a possessive husband who eventually kills his wife - a story, coincidently, that closely coincides with the heroine's.

Welcome back to the Byrds, birthplace of the Peace and Chicken Grease movement. This political philosophy is proving to be more popular than the campaign started several years ago when a little old lady peered into her hamburger bun and demanded to know Where's the beef?

Last time Bittern aged into a toddler, and Tabitha gave birth to Budgie, the twin that is not a twin. Tabitha still has her fake baby bump, and Buzz learned to drive...sorta. The lame Lagasse plot was revealed to involve Gnubb, Sim!Neder died, and we learned that Grim is a fan of Brad's and that the Peace and Chicken Grease movement is popular in the underworld.

Any frequent visitor to my humble online home could not fail to miss the little Milwordy progress tracker in my sidebar. I started last year with determination in my heart and a fire under my feet. I was going to write one million words in 2011 come hell or high water. It didn't matter if nothing readable resulted from the exercise; the goal was to pound out the words in order to entrench the habit of writing.
