Drunk On Foolish Pleasures: Double Feature!

by JB

Sometimes I think my students do not possess a strong critical faculty because they simply have not seen enough films. How can one tell diamonds from rocks if one sees nothing but rocks? Let’s look at two typical B-movies, one from 1958 and one from 1959, to illustrate this concept.

Great Horror Performances: Matthew Lillard in Scream

by Adam Riske

I re-watched Wes Craven’s Scream last weekend and was surprised how well it has held up. I used to love it back when I was a teenager. I think I like it even more as an adult. As I watched the scene with Jamie Kennedy and Matthew Lillard in the video store, it suddenly occurred to me how GREAT Matthew Lillard’s performance is in Scream. I was somewhat taken aback. The guy from Serial Mom, Hackers, Scooby-Doo and Without a Paddle was giving a terrific performance? What’s going on here?

Riske Business: Why You Should Watch Carnival of Souls This Month

by Adam Riske

Have you ever been at a “fun” bar or social gathering that makes you so uncomfortable that you feel like you need to desperately escape? This is a feeling of horror unto itself. The movie that best captures it, to me, is Herk Harvey’s 1962 classic Carnival of Souls.
