Spotlight/ Shoutout: Katharine Isabelle and Emily Perkins



Abracadabra, this week’s spotlight/ shoutout is a dual honor, and it goes to Emily Perkins and Katie Isabelle (her friends call her Katie, and I have declared myself a BFF.)

Oh and in the pic Katie I is on the left and Emily P is on the right.

You might recognize these two as the ugly stepsisters from “Another Cinderella Story.”

BUT!!!! Before that they starred together in the “Ginger Snaps” trilogy.

And the reason they earn this weeks’ S/S is because “Ginger Snaps” is awesome! No joke. It is a well-done low budget horror film, that isn’t sold on a bunch of dumb slutty girls dying and mindless, senseless gore. I am just glad to know that those still exist out there. It should be in select video stores or even possibly online. “Ginger Snaps” has action, adventure, mysticism, teen angst, comedy, drama, suspense, and possibly other qualities.

Now GS 2 and GS: Ginger Snaps Back, are not so hot. But they were worth watching.
Katie Isabelle also appeared in “Freddy vs. Jason,” which was okay, but not the best Freddy or Jason pic.

And yes as I mentioned earlier KI and EP reunited to play the ugly stepsisters in “Another Cinderella Story.” That was the whole reason I watched that film. (Totally not true, I had no idea they were both going to be in it. It was a surprise. I saw it because as everybody knows I’m a Selena G fan!) No shame.

    You seriously think there are good low-budget/ indie horror films out there. I personally think there has to be a certain production value that allows the viewer to feel like he or she is seeing real life. Low budget/ indie horror films tend to lack this element and thus become very artificial in look and style, which becomes distracting.

    Quite a few indie horror films do, but independent films also have appeal because they sell themselves on the script and the quality of acting as opposed to special F/X (and fake blood with horror films).

    Anon,
    Here are some decent indie horror films worth checking out..
    Ginger Snaps …of course
    Ed Gein: The Butcher of Plainfield
    Also Wilmer Valderama has a horror pic out called The Dead One...maybe I'll see it for laughs.

    And Gacy (I haven’t seen this one yet, but it looks sooooooooo good.)

    These are off the top of my head. I’ll post more if I remember.

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist.  "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

"Anchors" - AM Higgins

Here's a nice breezy, almost sensual song from AM Higgins (the solo project of musician Annie Toth) to start your Tuesday off right.  Her debut album "Hymning" will be out November 5th on Victorialand Records. The album was mixed by Casey Foubert, a frequent collaborator of Sufjan Stevens. The album "captures the first years of moving from an American city to rural France." Sounds like "Hymning" will be a welcome escape from the world we live in right now, especially considering that Annie Toth counts poets Mary Oliver and Thomas Merton as influences.

Summer Playlist - 2022 Edition!

 It's truly the little things in life that make a world of difference. And for me, that means my summer playlist! Behold, I have put together 2022's edition. It includes cuts from artists like: - Mitski - Uffie - Johnny Orlando - Kylie Minogue + Jessie Ware - Florence and the Machine (who put out a fantastic album this year after a long dry spell of kind of "meh" records. Her pairing with Jack Antonoff worked out quite well!)  - Bilal - Harry Styles (he has some catchy music!)  - KATE BUSH DUH - And of course, Lana. It's also available on Apple Music, but since I recognize a lot of folks use Spotify, here's that link. Enjoy!
