This weekend marks the premiere of Tim Burton’s latest film Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children.  I’ve heard the movie is decent but haven’t seen it for myself, though the premise is pretty intriguing.  The set-up is essentially X-Men but clothed in Tim Burton’s horror obsessions rather than the colorful palette of mid-‘70s superhero aesthetics.  

Basically it’s a movie where a bunch of horror infused super children are brought together to defend their existence from a bigoted outer world.  That’s an interesting and worthwhile idea, a fact I mainly know because it’s already been turned into a great horror/dark fantasy flick: Clive Barker’s Nightbreed.

Movie Monthly - Road Warrior

Edited by Robert Beach

Welcome back to Movie Monthly where every month it’s a new theme. This month is August Apocalypse. We’ll be looking at a bunch of films that take place in the wide world of creativity, pyrotechnic adventure, and human ugliness that is the post-apocalyptic wasteland. While I don’t normally focus on bigger films, our first one up is going to be Mad Max 2: Road Warrior. This is partially because Mad Max just saw an incredibly successful revival this year with Mad Max: Fury Road, but because I wanted to talk about Road Warrior through the lens of being an LGBT reviewer.
