Christmas the 13th Movie Night




Horror and Christmas is my favorite combo since Jab-Cross-Left Hook or #9 at Burger King or 20-11-23. So it's synchromonious that Friday the 13th lands in December this year. This along with Hanukkah landing on Thanksgiving makes this the best Holidays ever!

I don't know why Bloodbeat is not only filmed in Wisconsin but takes place there. The director is French and only did one other, French, thing. It's about a samurai warrior. There's no deer hunting.



Whoops, there's deer hunting. My theory is the director had just seen The Shining and wanted a lot of snow for his movie so he headed to Wisconsin. Unfortunately by the look of the movie it did not snow much that year.

Did you see Iron Man 3 and wonder why it was so jokey? And set during Christmas? That's because Shane Black wrote (and directed) it. He's the guy behind Lethal Weapon and five of his movies have been set during Christmas. Presumably BMN movie The Monster Squad didn't take place at Christmas because the Squad was a program run out of the local JCC.



The Long Kiss Goodnight was written by Shane Black and directed by Deep Blue Sea's Renny Harlin. Kiss is a lot like Sea except hold the sharks, keep the Samuel L. Jackson and add Geena Davis. Ah, shoot. I should've gotten a side of LL Cool J.

Here's what happened last week:
