They're on the hunt...for a bra to fit Beth.  Good luck.

They're on the hunt...for a bra to fit Beth. Good luck.

I’ve been trapped in a hotel room for a couple of days…through no fault of my own, actually.  You know what this means, right?  Roughly twenty channels of crap TV all day.  Continue reading »

EDUCATION UPGRADE!

Reading and myopia.  They go together like...um...nerds and glasses.

Reading and myopia. They go together like...um...nerds and glasses.

Someone around here, and I’m not saying who, has been accepted in the University of Oklahoma’s Library Science Graduate Program.  Tomorrow, I’m supposed to begin on my Masters degree. 

I’m not one to toot my own horn…but that’s mostly because I don’t have any horns to toot.  Well, I’m going to toot the living hell out of this one.

TOOOOOOOT!!!

Look It Up: Misfits

Is it just me, or has S Club 7 just stopped trying?

Is it just me, or has S Club 7 just stopped trying?

We here at ManWithPez have noticed that the American television scene has gotten a little stale of late.  There are a few sparks out there, but that’s not I’m writing about here today.  Today I’m writing about British TV genre show Misfits, airing on E4.  It’s aired two seasons, one Christmas special, and has announced a third season for later this year.  When 5 delinquents performing community service are suddenly stricken with superpowers, what do they do next?  That’s what’s facing these young twentysomethings.  Also, they’re kind of rude…but in the funniest possible way.  To me, watching this show is like watching someone who decided to fix Heroes…and did it correctly.  Granted the format isn’t quite the same, but the idea is similiar.  So, if you’ve got the ability to see it, by all means, watch Misfits, laugh at Robert Sheehan, and come back and thank me.  I’m worth it!

Gruesome Twosome Day 25: The Stepfather

Looks like he wouldn't hurt a fly.  That's the entire problem!

Looks like he wouldn't hurt a fly. That's the entire problem!

B movies of the 90s had their queen, and she was Jill Schoelen.  For once, she’s not the draw of one of the films she’s in, and for the record, The Stepfather is not a B film, but a taut, if somewhat predictable thriller with one very important thing going for it.  Terry O’Quinn and his amazing performance as Jerry, the man who just wants a family of his very own.

Gruesome Twosome Day 24: [REC]

I'm the Final Girl?  That's good, right?  She always survives!  Right?!

I'm the Final Girl? That's good, right? She always survives! Right?!

I saw the remake of [REC], Quarantine, long before I saw the original.  While they are both nearly identical (Quarantine is a near shot for shot remake of the Spanish language [REC], there is a raw, urgent quality to the less polished [REC] that is missing from the more expensive remake.  Continue reading »

Gruesome Twosome Day 23: Splice

Awwww...cute.  Kill it.  Save us from the rest of this movie.

Awwww...cute. Kill it. Save us from the rest of this movie.

This will be very short.  I’ve found that most movies that offend my sensibilities in some way are usually poorly made and they go out of their ways to be shocking so that there’s at least something memorable about them.  Splice is not like that. Continue reading »

The President and The King get ready to TCB, baby.  Uh-huh.

The President and The King get ready to TCB, baby. Uh-huh.

You know, when I think of Elvis, I have to say that prior to seeing this film, Bruce Campbell was probably the last person I would have thought of having play him.  Bubba Ho-Tep has shown me the error of my ways. Continue reading »

Gruesome Twosome Day 21: The Night Flier

Hey!  Cool cape!  Wait a minute!  You're not Batman!  GET AWAY FROM ME!

Hey! Cool cape! Wait a minute! You're not Batman! GET AWAY FROM ME!

Leave it to Stephen King to turn a vampire story on it’s ear.  The Night Flier isn’t one of King’s best efforts, nor is it his worst.  In the pantheon of Stephen King horror adaptations, this one, to me, earns a solid “meh”.  That’s not to say that it’s not worth seeing, because it is.

Gruesome Twosome Day 20: I Was A Teenage Werewolf

SQUIRREL!!!

SQUIRREL!!!

You know, you don’t really forget your first, do you?  Well, I Was A Teenage Werewolf was a first for me.  You see, everytime there was any kind of documentary about either horror films or special effects, I would make certain I was in front of the TV to see it.  And I’ll be damned if every one of them didn’t feature the transformation scene from this film.
