    Well, lets all wish Patrick Farmer, co-founder and fellow author of SquidFlicks a happy 17th birthday today! Now he needs to get on the ball and finish that driver’s license up! Just kidding Pat – I feel your pain too about that whole rigmarole!

    ALSO, THE POLL ENDS TONIGHT AT 11:59:59 CST! PATRICK, THIS POLL DATE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR BIRTHDAY, SO YOU CAN GET THOSE CRAZY IDEAS OUT OF YOUR HEAD RIGHT NOW! =)

    I drew that picture with my AWESOME new Wacom Intuos 3 Graphics Tablet! In commemoration of my new ability to hand-create graphics directly into the computer, I have launched a deviantART profile to showcase my/OSS works; check it out and let me know what you think! – osquid.deviantart.com

  • Transformers

    Transformers

    This is a review by a Guest Author – Ricky Holdman

    Intro

    When you hear the word “Transformers” you probably think about the children’s toy, or fanboys with their bellies hanging over their belts, glasses, and a Transformers shirt which is about 2 sizes too small. Well, both of these are correct, but this 2007 movie Directed by Michael Bay and Produced by Steven Spielberg, holds a whole lot more meaning than those two things.

    What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas. Unless that happens to be a piece of the Lep’s gold you have! Warwick Davis return as the evil Lep as he hunts down his ole gold in sin city in this 1995 release of Brian Trenchard Smith’s “Leprechaun 3.”

    St. Patrick’s Day 2008 with SquidFlicks

    Intro

    Slapstick humor has existed throughout. Humor that is witty, punny and well, annoying is what slapstick is. No one says it better than our good ole friend, The Leprechaun like in the 1994 release of Rodman Flender’s “Leprechaun 2.”

    St. Patrick’s Day 2008 with SquidFlicks

    Intro

    You can figure out that the death of a film series has truly happened when they are launched in space. It’s happened in “Critters 4”, “Jason X”, and was even talked about for a Halloween sequel as well. It’s no exception either in the 1997 direct to video release of Brian Trenchard Smith’s “Leprechaun 4: In Space.”

  • The Thing

    Intro

    Who Goes There? A simple question. As it can also be a sign of fear that trembles through your body. Not knowing who is friend and who is foe is a great fear, like in the 1982 release of John Carpenter’s “The Thing.”

  • Trailers for all!

    Trailers for all!

    Trailers! Not those kind, though!

    SquidFlicks just received another mega-overhaul! Thanks to editor Patrick Farmer, all of the SquidFlicks Previews and Reviews now have trailers for their corresponding titles. Patrick has informed me that there were a few (less than 5) that had no trailers that were publicly available. If you happen across a link for one of these missing trailers – legally please =/ – contact us! I will add it immediately!

    Stay tuned for more Squid!

  • In the Mouth of Madness

    in_mouth_madness_01.jpg

    Intro:

    As Americans we tend to overly obsess about things too easily. A recent of  example of the trend is Harry Potter. Tons of people everywhere get into Harry Potter WAY too much, but is hasn’t reached an unhealthy point…..yet. Evenually obsession could be the end of us, like in the 1995 release of  John Carpenter’s “In the Mouth of Madness.”
