Today on the 5: My wife and I are taking turns picking Halloween themed movies this month, and her first pick was 1986's Killer Party. While it may not have been entirely successful as a film, it never lost our interest!

Today on the 5: Over the weekend I watched a movie that is considered one of the originators of the Hong Kong horror genre. It's a 1975 film called Black Magic, and it's certainly interesting to see an early version of this type of movie.

Today on the 5: As Lando and I continue to run out of cooperative game options, we end up turning to things like Dead Rising 2: Off The Record. While it's often fun enough, it's also very clear this game was made a while ago.

Today on the 5: Many companies sprang into the spotlight when the pandemic. Some made sense to me, but others never did. One of these oddballs in Clubhouse, which got hot early but I'm wondering how much of a future it really has.

Today on the 5: After watching the excellent Star Wars: Visions, I chose what I expected to be a junky 70s horror romp. I was pretty surprised by how much more Chosen Survivors turned out to be!

Today on the 5: Disney released the animated anthology series Star Wars: Visions last week. I've watched the entire series, and I have some thoughts on it.

Today on the 5: Microsoft announced a number of products this week, including the Surface Duo 2. I wish I could see myself buying this device, but the price point it's asking still seems too high for what it is.

Today on the 5: I got the 4K steelbook of David Lynch's Dune yesterday, and I've been reading a number of good reviews of the new version. That got me thinking about how people view the 1984 film and why I think so many people evaluate it improperly.
