By The BoomfestX Film Committee   When we draw each year to a close, the last week of November gives us Americans a chance to realize everything we have taken for granted. The tradition of Thanksgiving is something I don’t have to explain; it’s literally right there in the name. In the spirit of the adageContinue Reading →

The Ultimate Movie Guide for Surviving Thanksgiving

Blog, Uncategorized November 16, 2016 danielle 0 Comment

While many of us excitedly await the delicious tastes of Thanksgiving, it’s hard to get through the day (or week) unscathed by holiday drama. With everyone brought together, it’s hard to avoid political arguments, questions about your personal life, and unwanted advice from your Aunt Leslie* (names have been changed to protect the guilty).

Five Reasons You Should Take Your Date to the Movies

Blog, Film Post, Uncategorized November 14, 2016 danielle 0 Comment

As I’ve made the dating rounds over this past year, I’ve experienced a lot of negativity toward movie dates.

Blog, Uncategorized November 9, 2016 danielle 0 Comment

Water streaks up the screen as color flickers in and out like a confused strobe light that is clearly under the influence. An unsteady voiceover fades in and out with bits of old news reports.

Confessions of a Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 Apologist

Blog, Uncategorized October 25, 2016 danielle 0 Comment

by Mark Stone Clashing with cold, factual style of the original film, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 decays into a putrid slice of horror-comedy pie, which never tasted better than it did in the 80s. It stands firmly next to other classics of the subgenre, with no better comparison than to 1985’s The ReturnContinue Reading →
