Talking about the science show that talks about monsters.

Bigfoot…the Loch Ness Monster…Ghosts…and a skeptical - and fun - look at other things that (maybe) go bump in the night.

What do a Navy Seal, zombies, John Rambo, and Ron Jeremy have in common?

They feature in our five most popular reviews of 2020!

Also…

How World War II Veterans Won the Only Successful Armed Rebellion Since the Revolution.

Mostly chewed over…but a few juicy parts.

Zombie films and tv shows like The Walking Dead (and the comic that spawned it) bring the undead to life…but the best horror leaves at least part of the story to the grainy black and white of the imagination.

“It’s a vampire. Be ready for anythi…

What the #u<% is that??????”

Buy this book.

If tornado propelled sharks are ok (I’m talking to you, Sharknado), why not flying vampiric Great Whites?

So one of the cooler parts of running a movie blog is getting to read a lot of other movie blogs.

There are plenty…

Some sit on Twitter (the reviews tend to be short) a few on Instagram (they tend to be picturey) and a bunch on pages like this…

Dig superheroes? Like games? You’ll want to check this out.

One of our favorite pastimes, when not reviewing the latest movies or cracking open a good book is, reliving the the first decade of the century (this one…I’m not that old) with a quick round of City of Heroes (CoH).

Ready for a little low cost education and entertainment?

We’re taking a little turn on this month’s Book Break to feature a number of (mainly) history books you can pick up on Kindle for free - or close to free.

“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”

We don’t generally do documentaries at BMB, but anything goes at the Concession Stand and every so often we will slide in something like our earlier micro review of The Beatles: Eight Days A Week.

Way back in the 1970s - before Ancient Aliens were ancient at the History Channel for in the far future - there was In Search Of.

“They Were Fresh…They Were Honest.”

We don’t do a lot of reviews of documentaries, but stumbled across this a few days ago and though it would make for a good quick snack in the Concession Stand.

The Beatles: Eight Days a Week is a collection of “found footage” clips, interviews, and commentary focusing on the Beatles as they kicked off the touring phase of their career…

We love movies…but we also love books.

Each month we’ll take a quick Concession Stand break to take a look at some of the things from our reading stack and bookcases and let you know what we think of them.

Grab a cup of tea, sit back, and settle in for a few books that entertain, enlighten, and in some cases are just guilty pleasures.

Got your attention?

We usually write about movies, but the Concession Stand is about cool things of all flavors - including books.

Star Spangled Scandal: Sex, Murder, and the Trial That Changed America meets the cool test.

Or…How to Ruin the Title of a Movie Without Really Trying.

We played a little game on the BMB Facebook Group Page recently: Ruin a movie by changing or adding one letter to its title.

The returns were hilarious…brilliant…and in a few cases a little twisted.

Here we go…

Cool Things for Sale on Amazon

While we’ll go where the action is for movies - Amazon Prime, Hulu, NETFLIX, and best of all, our local theater - we are fans of Amazon for general shopping, especially e-books and audiobooks.

From time-to-time we’ll drop a few items here that we found on sale there and that we though were pretty cool.

To Andromeda and Back…In a Minute

The Andromeda Strain remains one of the most intriguing and disturbing films ever made. Written by Michael Crichton, author of a couple minor books, including Westworld and Jurassic Park, it describes the impact of a mysterious virus on the world and the people fighting to contain it…

We love movies. But we also love books.

Want to break up your screen and stream time?

These are a few of the things we’ve read recently or are reading now.

Your Favorite Movies…With a Twist.

So what do we do at BMB when we aren’t watching and writing about movies?

Well, aside from trying to bring about world peace we have fun going to sites like Trailer Mix on Mashable.

Trailer Mix takes clips for movies and reimagines them. What does that mean?

Imagine Deadpool as an Oscar-worthy drama. How about The Martian as a musical? Or The Silence of the Lambs as a comedy romance?

Better yet, check out a few clips for yourself.

As we slowly prepare for the advent of a new normal, industries across the country are scrambling to figure out what exactly that will look like.

The film industry, which was hit hard by the near complete shuttering of movie theaters across the globe, has come up with different strategies to provide entertainment while still abiding by stay-at-home orders. Initially, plans included straight-to-video releases, as the likes of Trolls World Tour landed on demand directly, entirely skipping theatrical runs. But now, as social distancing guidelines loosen up a bit, people in the industry are trying to find ways to put folks in front of some sort of large screen—like that of a drive-in movie theater.
