Children of the Corn (1984)

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) Yes, yes…I KNOW they remade Children of the Corn several years ago…but WHY would I watch THAT when I can torture my kids with the original? The kids and I had a lively discussion as to whether Isaac or Malachi was creepier. […]

It Chapter Two

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) on Dec 23, 2019 at 3:34pm PST Bill Hader is a National Treasure. His portrayal of the grown Richie “Trashmouth” Tozier was the glue that held this film together. Not to say that it was falling apart by any means, but the […]

Pet Sematary II

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) on Sep 7, 2018 at 10:00am PDT Remember the early 90s, when Edward Furlong was in every fucking movie? What a time to be alive. I can’t remember for sure, but I might even have seen it in the theater? Or maybe […]

Pet Sematary

A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) on Sep 2, 2018 at 1:08pm PDT Lily had been begging to see this freaky ass movie for weeks. It’s Sunday afternoon, gross and rainy – so why not? Pet Sematary was the very first Stephen King book I ever read – the summer between 6th and 7th grade. […]

It (2017)

A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) on Aug 17, 2018 at 6:14pm PDT My procrastination in watching the new It was twofold. First off, It is my favorite Stephen King book and Tim Curry’s Pennywise holds a special place in my heart as the scariest movie villain EVER. If I am scrolling through the guide […]

Cell

I feel like the world needs a John Cusack/Samuel L. Jackson buddy/road trip movie right now. Now, more than ever, we need the joy that those two can bring us. (“I want these motherfucking snakes out of my motherfucking earnest romantic comedy!” or something to that effect?) A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) on Jan […]

Carrie (2013)

Well, what’s the point of this now? The original is a classic, though not untouchable…there was a regrettable sequel in 1999 and then a mediocre TV remake on 2002. So what are they doing here? It’s not horrible I guess. Chloë Grace Moretz was an interesting choice to play Carrie. She’s generally regarded as a […]

Carrie

A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) on Oct 5, 2016 at 7:30pm PDT They’re all gonna laugh at you! They’re all gonna laugh at you! Adam Sandler aside, this is a funny funny film. Funny because it was made in 1976, the year I was born. Funny because it scared the living crap out of […]

The Rage: Carrie 2

LAME. 90 minutes of lame-ass shit was not worth the 10 minutes of cool shit in this film. Harpoon through the crotch was cool. Fireplace poker through 2 heads, in one shot, was cool. The chick from American Beauty nose diving into a car was cool. Being shot with a flare gun was almost cool. […]
