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

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER TURNS IN THE PERFORMANCE OF HIS CAREER AS A GREIVING FATHER IN A PLANE CRASH'S "AFTERMATH" (2017)


Good ole Arnie boy does his most impressive work, at least from the films I have seen.. Aftermath is a heavy (that's putting it mildly) drama about a plane crash, a grieving father and the air traffic controller (Scoot McNairy) that caused the crash. The film follows those two main characters path as Arnie seeks an apology for his daughter and the air traffic controller seeks the return of his sanity. Everything from the acting to the direction and production is top notch. Highly recommend if and when you're in the mood for this kind of flick. Currently streaming on Tubi, Plex, Freevee and several others.  4 stars/5
