  • SquidFlicks Thanksgiving 08 Special Preview

    This is a re-post from last year that was pulled. Just for kicks! (We are planning some awesome new Thanksgiving stuff for this year!)

    Well, since Turkey Day is coming up here in the US of A, Patrick and I thought it was only fitting to do a Thanksgiving Special since the Halloween special was cancelled at the last second. (sorry about that…)

    The Thanksgiving special will be the video review of the Independent Film The Chemical King, which was produced by my cousin, Ellen Jones.

    As a matter of fact, the review was filmed last night, and I think that it is the best video SquidFlicks has made yet. I hope to have the final cut up on the Internet by mid-week. There will be a new post to highlight the video!

    See you around!

  • Official SquidFlicks Pumpkin Carved

    Tonight was a historical one for SquidFlicks. Staff member (and my girlfriend) Stephanie Sikes helped design the first ever SquidFlicks pumpkin! I carved the sucker, but she gets the credit for a fantastic design job. Lit pictures are coming Halloween, but here’s a preview:

    sf_pumpkin-insideWhat do you think? The final version has the extra marker wiped off, BTW.

  • Quick site modifications

    Hello SquidFlickians! Shelby here with some quick updates and a bit of a plan for the next week.

    I took it upon myself to spruce up the site a little. I updated lots of code and added some new plugins to give everyone a taste of some upcoming features in SquidFlicks 2.0, which is still not fully ready for public release. The biggest change is the comment system, which is now more streamlined and offers an easier way to give input on our posts!

    Be prepared for an announcement of our SquidFlicks Birthday/Halloween bash and the release of Halloween: Season of the Bitch!

    Also due this week – some reviews of recent movies! Ha!

  • Barstool Cowboy

    Intro:

    Sometimes, when life’s got you down, it’s good to have a local bar to drown your sorrows in. In the case of Mick, it’s the recent loss of a girl that has him in the local watering hole. He vows to not move from his barstool for three months, but then he meets an artsy college student who steals his heart. Will it be a love found, or will Mick return to his spot in the bar? You’ll have to watch to find out!

  • SquidFlicks Creature Feature logos!

    I have been slaving away in Photoshop to create a couple of logos for SquidFlicks’ own Creature Feature series. I made two versions – a light and dark version – for various use as I see fit. Let me know what you think here in the comments or on the official facebook page.

  • Director Roman Polanski arrested

    Roman-Polanski

    Director Roman Polanski, known for a storied career spanning four decades, was arrested Saturday in Zurich, Switzerland on an active US warrant for a crime committed in 1978, the statutory rape of a 13-year-old girl.

    Polanski was the husband of Sharon Tate, who was brutally murdered by Charles Manson’s cult, Helter Skelter in 1969 and has since led a turbulent life. He was arrested in the late 70s after the crime, but he fled the country and has been wanted ever since.

    His dark and storied life can be seen through his often brutal and violent films, like Rosemary’s baby, Repulsion, The Tenant, and Chinatown.
