Happy Halloween.

As a Grouch I love Halloween its one of the few time every year that people embrace the creepy and the scary. It also means that there will be no shortage of great horror movies and specials on TV. Plus if your a geek like me you know you can dress up as your favorite fictional character and people have to give you candy its just all around great. Just because I'm older now I still like to get into the spirit by getting together with good friends and wear a costume(see below) try to guess which one I am.

Like most people on the internet I also can't wait for the premiere of The Walking Dead on AMC. I love Zombies I love good TV so I'm almost certain I like this new series based on a popular comic.

Spike TV Scream Awards 2010 (Now With Less Horror than Ever)

So I knew things were of to a weird start as soon as they unlviled that the show would be going with an Inception theme. While I was able to look past the shows choice in theme it quickly became apparent that Spike TV the last channel to make award shows that I cared about had finally fizzeled out. Don't get me wrong I don't blame anyone this was a bad year for horror movies and this years nominees reflected that. But I mean come on Mickey Rourke as Whiplash winning best villian, he was only in Iron Man 2 for about ten minutes. But where I threw up my hands was Kristen Stweart winning best actress over Chloe Moretez(Hey the show probally past her bedtime). The Scream awards used to be the cool award show the show you would watch and go "Your Dam Right Thats Awesome!" this year I found myself saying "What Really?" more than anything elese. But it was'nt all awards for True Blood there was actually a very reuinon for Back To The Future I say enjoy Christogher Llyod & Micheal Jay Fox while we can they might not be around forever.

For me the best part of the night was seeing Ryan Renyolds close the show by coming out in a massive Green Lantern and reecipting the famous Lanterns oath from the DC comics.

Late To The Party: Sons Of Anarchy

Being the movie centric type of person that I am it should come as no surprise that I sometimes overlook some of TV's better series. After Lost & Soprano's had ended I was beginning to think there might never be another show to pry me away from my beloved movies. Thankfully I was very wrong a friend was nice enough to turn me onto a newer FX series called Sons Of Anarchy.


I've always loved biker culture and have always tried to take in as many movies, shows and documentary's on the subject that I possible could(The Last Chapter, Easy Rider, Gangland). Just recently I completed watching the first season and I was so overjoyed by how I felt about the show I felt I could write a blog about it.

The writing is sharp & honest the characters are likable despite being criminals and the music while not Sopranos quality is still distinct and enjoyable. But the best part by far has to be the complicated performances given by Ron Perelman (Hell Boy)& Katey Sagal (Futurama) that rival anything I've seen in a movie this year.
