    A SquidFlicks Super Holiday Announcement

    Even though we are sorry to say that HorrorHut won’t be your Christmas present this year (but it will be a great way to celebrate the new year!), I have some of the real gifts that you will be receiving – new features and updates to SquidFlicks! *roar from audience*

    I have been working pretty hard this past few days, and I am pleased to announce some of the features and updates that are already in place or are going to be put into place by January 1, 2008!

    Warning: Some of these announced updates may shock you and/or result in a serious addiction to the improved SquidFlicks.com! =P

  • ‘I am Legend’ Breaks the December Bank

    I Am Legend

    SquidFlicks Box Office Hit 

    As you may or may not already know, Will Smith’s performance in the movie that SquidFlicks previously previewed, I am Legend, has broken the box office all-time high for December release weekends. Grossing well over 76.5 million dollars, it easily passed all other competition.

    It seems that our preview was pretty accurate – this looks like a great movie, and I want to see it so that we can share the review with others! =)

    P.S. This is the first in another new feature of SquidFlicks – Box Office Hits and Box Office Blunders!

  • Some Upcoming Reviews

    I have been bogged down lately with school and other projects, so I have not kept up with the reviews as I needed to have been. There are, however, several reviews that are still being written behind the scenes here…

    The list to come (hopefully) before the end of the month includes in no particular order:

    • Dodgeball
    • Old School
    • Castaway
    • Airplane
    • The Office (NEW! TV Series reviews are coming soon!) =o
    • Blades of Glory
    • Pursuit of Happiness

    Like I said, it’s not set in concrete, and there could *possibly* be more reviews and a special Christmas treat if you are good to SquidFlicks! 😉

    Tell your friends! We are so happy to see our subscriber count rise! =)

    SquidFlicks would like to wish all of our readers and subscribers a happy Thanksgiving holiday. Most of you probably are off from work or out of school for today through Friday, and we here at SquidFlicks want you to have a great one!

For three years, Neville has faithfully sent out daily radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. But he is not alone. (more…)

  • Policy Change

    I have decided to make a slight policy change for SquidFlicks – now you can post comments without having to register! This allows our visitors who spend less time here post their opinions quickly and conveniently!

    You will still have to enter your name and email for security purposes, and some comments may not appear instantly due to our comment spam filter. All held comments will be reviewed personally before they are posted so that we can thwart spam as best as possible!

    Now don’t get me wrong, I would love for you to join the blog, but I understand you may not want to mess with it. I would appreciate you leaving a comment or subscribing to our feed or even referring us to your friends just as much as you joining the blog! Thanks for all of your support, and even though this has been a slower month, we plan to bring lots more content to the site!

    Edit: I am also working on the blog’s tag cloud!
