John E. Meredith

J. Meredith is a freelance writer currently working on his first novel while still trying to keep the lights on. He’s got too many interests to ever pursue them all, though he spends far more time with movies, music, and books than he really should. As a Halloween baby, he feels a natural tendency toward things dark, horrific, or at least black-and-white. Feel free to haunt him on his Facebook page/John E. Meredith or on Instagram/scribe6903.

A THING APART: The Nihilistic Morals of The Last House On the Left

John E. Meredith
August 30, 2016
Schlock & Awe
There couldn't have been a more appropriate movie than LAST HOUSE to greet the slow and painful end of the Vietnam era.

POPCORN CINEMA 31: DEATH BED: THE BED THAT EATS

John E. Meredith
August 20, 2016
Popcorn Cinema
There was this guy named George Barry. He grew up in the same Detroit suburbs as Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell. Like them, he was a huge fan of classic horror films and drive-in movies.

THE FLESH IS WEAK #4: Writing With QUILLS

John E. Meredith
August 13, 2016
The Flesh is Weak
Despite all the bodily fluids on display here, QUILLS is more about the mind (and even the heart) than the flesh.

THE FLESH IS WEAK #3: Memories of SAMSARA

John E. Meredith
July 30, 2016
The Flesh is Weak
Fricke and Magidson claimed that they avoided any overt political views in assembling SAMSARA, but sometimes reality can be very political.

POPCORN CINEMA 30: Through the Whirlwind

John E. Meredith
July 23, 2016
Popcorn Cinema
See, what happened was that me and Cinema, we went to see FINDING DORY.

THE FLESH IS WEAK #2: My Changing Faith In THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST

John E. Meredith
July 16, 2016
The Flesh is Weak
It made me want to shout, or to reach out and do something to stop it. That's powerful filmmaking.

POPCORN CINEMA 29: Into the Whirlwind

John E. Meredith
July 9, 2016
Popcorn Cinema
Sometimes I think TWISTER was the worst thing that ever happened to weather movies.

THE FLESH IS WEAK #1: FEARLESS

John E. Meredith
July 2, 2016
The Flesh is Weak
Adapted by Rafael Yglesias from his own novel, FEARLESS is a profound film that is as remote as the main character inhabiting it.

POPCORN CINEMA 28: The Day My Kid Went Punk

John E. Meredith
June 25, 2016
Popcorn Cinema
If you wanna get attention, get laid, and shut all the old people up . . . punk rock, dude.

Chinatown (1974)

John E. Meredith
June 23, 2016
Big Sleeps and Long Goodbyes, Movies
Chinatown was made long after the supposed end of the noir period, yet it thoroughly recreates the mood and style of film noir.

The Conjuring 2 (2016)

John E. Meredith
June 13, 2016
Movies, Reviews
In THE CONJURING 2, we witness Burgess' mastery of the camera as a storytelling tool, doing much to scare the shit out of us with a simple pan or tilt.

POPCORN CINEMA 27: PUT THE PEDAL TO THE METAL

John E. Meredith
June 11, 2016
Popcorn Cinema
You seem a bit more like the GONE IN 60 SECONDS type. 1974, Toby Halicki, drive-in classic. You know, the one where a bunch of car thieves are given just five days to steal forty-eight cars.

POPCORN CINEMA 26: That Damn Chewbacca Mask

John E. Meredith
June 4, 2016
Popcorn Cinema
I mean, what the hell is wrong with people???

X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

John E. Meredith
May 30, 2016
Movies, Reviews
If This Is the X-MEN: APOCALYPSE, Then Does That Mean the End Is Near?

POPCORN CINEMA 25: REEFER MADNESS

John E. Meredith
May 28, 2016
Popcorn Cinema
Are you aware? Of the unspeakable scourge? Of the dread marijuana? The assassin of our youth?

POPCORN CINEMA 24: HAIL TO THE CHIEF – Lincoln, Zombies and Bad Hair

John E. Meredith
May 21, 2016
Popcorn Cinema
Why can't presidents ever be like they are in the movies?

POPCORN CINEMA 23: THEY CALLED HER ONE EYE (aka, THRILLER: A Cruel Picture)

John E. Meredith
May 7, 2016
Popcorn Cinema
When cruelty knows no bounds. . . when evil knows no limits . . . revenge strikes with its most frightening power. They called her One-Eye . . . then ran for their lives.

Popcorn Cinema: Into the Purple Rain

John E. Meredith
April 30, 2016
Popcorn Cinema
So PURPLE RAIN hit theaters that summer, and I knew that Justine would be there.

Popcorn Cinema: Do You Remember Me?

John E. Meredith
April 23, 2016
Popcorn Cinema
I love horror movies. But DIRTY DANCING . . . not so much.

Popcorn Cinema: The Brain That Wouldn’t Die

John E. Meredith
April 16, 2016
Popcorn Cinema
The television moans "Let me die! Let me die!" Darkness falls over the screen for a moment, and then the title appears: THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE.
