Alien vs. Predator Marathon, Part 1

17 May

Fuck yeah, baby!! IT’S ON!! I know what you’re thinking. Well, maybe. If you’ve never been here before you’re probably thinking “Who the fuck is this Alex Hilhorst kid?” If you’re one of my friends or stumbled upon this site while Googling the phrase “Mass Effect 2 Best Game Ever,” you’re probably wondering “What about [...]

Writing Page Updated

5 Feb

Since everything on here is technically “Copyright Alex Hilhorst 2012,” I decided to upload full versions for all of my scripts. Why the hell not? Besides, most of them are already registered with the WGA. Maybe this will help me finally get a screenwriting gig. Who knows. Full versions of the following scripts have been [...]

Comics Roundup- 08.03.2011, Part 2

7 Aug

The Punisher #1 I read a couple Punisher comics in summer camp (where I actually did a lot of my early comic reading) and once caught some of Punisher: Warzone on Spike TV. Basically what I came away with from that is that the Punisher is a vigilante with a penchant for vengeance and his [...]

An X-Files Retrospective, Part 8

8 Feb

Millennium- Season 2 Chris Carter’s other show really amped up in its second season, shifting away from the morose serial killer procedural it was in season one to a much more serialized and mythos-heavy tale of an impending apocalypse. Though it’s often still pretty depressing and still has some one-off “killer of the week” episodes, [...]

An X-Files Retrospective, Part 7

19 Jan

Millennium- Season 1 When most of you hear the word “millennium,” you probably think “term used to describe 1000 years” and not “show about serial killers by X-Files creator Chris Carter.” So let me give you a little background. In the second half of the 1990s people were freaking out about the impending dawn of [...]

Alex’s Halloween Countdown- Wrap-Up, Pt. 2

3 Nov

Monsters (2010) From my perspective, this fall- colloquially known as “Oscar Season,” looks very bleak. Clint Eastwood’s Hereafter looked horrendous. 127 Hours looks cool, but I kind of lost faith in Danny Boyle after the sub-par Slumdog Millionaire, which in my opinion was wholly undeserving of an Academy Award and could be considered to be [...]

Alex’s Halloween Countdown- Wrap-Up, Pt. 1

2 Nov

Halloween may already be over, but I feel compelled to three different horror-themed pop culture events I experienced over the weekend. Up first is my review of… The Walking Dead (2010, TV series) Of all the new series premiering on television this year, AMC’s adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s graphic novel series was the one I [...]

Alex’s Halloween Countdown, Day 7

31 Oct

Horror-Themed Videogames Alan Wake- The Writer Alan Wake is without a doubt one of my Top 10 games of the year. It has one of the best stories ever written for a game, and innovative gameplay that helps it stand apart from other survival horror titles. The game’s rated T for Teen, which made me [...]

Alex’s Halloween Countdown, Day 6

25 Oct

Unfortunately, I’ve learned I’ll have to be working on Halloween till probably around 10 pm. So I’ll still get to party, but I won’t be able to dress up. Still… the countdown must press on. Today I review: The House of the Devil (2009) Continuing my recent obsession with demonology and the occult, I decided [...]

Alex’s Halloween Countdown, Day 5

18 Oct

Paranormal Activity (2009) My second viewing of last year’s sleeper hit was understandably less terrifying than my first. This was due in part to the fact that I knew what was going to happen, but more so because I was watching it on my TV without surround sound. In fact, since I was streaming it [...]
