Necropolis Update (July 30, 2013)

Hello everyone.  Just wanted to say that starting in the next day or two, I'm going to debut a new segment called "Horror From Home."  This segment isn't much different than my normal "Macabre Reviews" (in that I'll still review movies), but there is one major difference: in "Horror From Home" I will be reviewing the movies I actually own, whereas in "Macabre Reviews" I review movies I see in theaters, rentals, streaming, borrowed from friends, you get the idea.  And I'll be doing these reviews in alphabetical order.  Why?  I don't know really.  Convenience, or maybe I have OCD.  Who knows?  I just thought it would be a way for you to get to know me a wee bit better.  I mean, you can learn a lot from someone by looking at their movie collection.  Right?

Anyway, it's something I'll do from time to time, whenever I don't particularly have anything I want to (or can't) review.  Bear in mind, some of these movie I own suck.  I sometimes just buy movies when I see them around for sale when I haven't actually watched them.  And I've paid dearly for this more than once.  But hey, more reviewing material right?

There will be some I won't actually review.  The main reasons being either I plan to use them for retrospectives (Critters, for example), or they just don't plain need reviewing.  I mean, you don't really need me to review any of George Romero's 'Dead' series, do you?  Or the Evil Dead movies?  I will review them if you really want me to, just let me know at some point before I get to the letter E part of my movies.

That's the biggest thing I wanted to bring up.  As well, however, I'm reading a book which I plan to review sometime down the road.  I'll save it for a surprise though, just to keep you guessing.  Oh, and I guess I should apologize for the space between reviews lately.  It just gets busy out in the real world, and I'm trying to balance things out.  But mauny thanks for all of the views for my review of The Conjuring.  I've noticed it's become my most viewed of all my posts.  It puts a huge rictus grin on my face.  :D

Farewell for now.

Necropolis Update: April 2, 2013

Hello everyone.  Just wanted to touch base on a few quick things.  For starters, this will be a slower week for me.  I'm being assaulted by a cold, and I'm being a huge baby about it.  I don't get sick often, so when it happens it feels worse than it would if I got sick on a more regular basis.  But this is still an important week, as one of the few remakes I'm actually looking forward to - Evil Dead - premieres to us non-SXSW patrons Friday night.  And you better believe I'll be seeing it and sharing my thoughts here at the Necropolis Macabre.

Also, from this point onward, I'm going to focus my reviews toward some darker, dare I say more macabre, movies.  I've been enjoying what I've been reviewing.  But to be honest, most of those movies weren't that macabre or disturbing.  I think it fitting that the Evil Dead remake is where this new path.

And finally, I believe pretty soon I'll be doing my first book review for the site.  I had intended to do one a little bit earlier than this, but I just plain haven't been doing much reading until recently.  So stay tuned for that.

That's pretty much all I can think of for now.  As always, I appreciate you fine people checking out the site and my reviews.  And I'll be talking to you again soon.  Rest in peace.
