The Long Good Friday 007

The Long Good Friday is a continuing weekly column that tries to thematically or tangentially link together three varying films that would make one hell of an evening at the home theater. Most of these flicks are readily available from Netflix, Blockbuster or Amazon, and some are even available on demand. This is our attempt at a gateway drug to irresponsible movie-watching

FROM THE VAULT: Chasing Amy

A lot of my feelings for Kevin Smith films have faded away almost entirely. Even a movie like CLERKS doesn’t have a lot of resonance anymore. CHASING AMY, however, was a milestone in my cinematic life. While the thoughts expressed in this essay are certainly dated, a lot of it still holds true.

Halloween Top 5: The Thing

This is it. This is our favorite horror film ever made. John Carpenter could have never made any of his other classic films, and this movie alone would soundly cement him as a true master. Combining cold paranoia with an effects laden horror story, THE THING is a 20th Century masterpiece

Halloween Top 5: The Exorcist

There are virtually no other films that have the ability to still frighten an audience over 35 years after its release. Normally the effects wear off, or the film dates poorly societally or contextually. THE EXORCIST does neither of these things. It is just as effective now as it was in

Halloween Top 5: Dawn of the Dead

I think it’s safe to say that Zack Snyder’s debut feature film deserves to be mentioned as one of the all time greats. Uh. Just kidding. While we have a lot of love for Snyder here, this is Romero’s movie and there’s no question as to why it belongs in the big boy crowd
