B-MOVIE OF THE MONTH - DEAD END (2003)

Made for less than a million dollars, the slightly obscure Dead End is a chilling little indie you don't want to miss. It might just be the best Christmas horror movie no one ever heard of and every dollar is up there on the screen. It's quirky, weird, funny, bizarre, and scary all at once. Black comedy for sure but much more, this would make a nice double feature with The Perfect Host, another movie we're big on around here. So, grab some eggnog and a snack or two and check out the inimitable Ray Wise with legendary Lin Shaye as they take their family down a wrong turn, what's up with this road? Why doesn't it end? After all, they're just trying to make it to Christmas Eve dessert at Frank's mother's house. Tubi, Plex, Freevee, enjoy! 2.75 stars/2.75

NEIL YOUNG DROPS SURPRISE DOCUMENTARY "A BAND, A BROTHERHOOD, A BARN" (2022) PRODUCED AND DIRECTED BY WIFE DARRYL HANNAH AS CRAZY HORSE RECORDS NEW ALBUM

You could have missed it in the blink of an eye but on Thursday, legendary rocker Neil Young dropped a free full length documentary shot and produced by his wife Darryl Hannah. A Band, A Brotherhood, A Barn showcases the recording of his latest album with longtime band Crazy Horse. And it's not bad! Sure, it's a plug to sell the album but enjoyable to watch, I mean who wouldn't want to make music in an environment like that. It reminds me of some of the jams and sessions we used to have in the Hollywood Hills when I was younger. Hopefully I'll go out the same way Neil does in this video- just being himself and creating music with his buds. Will life ever be this simple again? 2.75 stars/2.75
