Welcome to the first Humanstein Mini-Review! This is for little goodies that don’t quite fit the mold as far as depth and detail that I normally go into with my reviews. Simpler things. Simple fun. Like Halloween candy. First things first, I’m a sucker for Halloween candy. Not just the candy that’s given out on […]
The Best Fictional Restaurants, Part 1 | Bob’s Burgers
I eat a lot of food. I seek out the novel, the unique, and the unlikely. I am a cosmonaut exploring a wide galaxy of flavor, texture, and artificial food coloring. I long for the thrill of a new hamburger, I hunger for the excitement of limited edition cereal. These desires are frequently satisfied, but […]
Found Footage 3D – Movie Review – HUMANSTEIN FOR DAILY GRINDHOUSE
As some of you may be aware, I recently accepted a contributor position over at DailyGrindhouse.com, “Tough Films For The Rough Crowd”. I’m overjoyed at this opportunity for a number of reasons, chiefly reaching a larger audience than I can on humble Ol’ Humanstein. Don’t despair though, this will have no impact on my Humanstein.com […]
Don’t Breathe – Movie Review
Brutal. Tense. Scary. These are words film critics bandy around quite a bit, especially in the world of genre films. Every horror film released in the year 2016 seems to have been able to find someone who’s particular tastes and cinematic background lead them to call it brutal, tense, and of course, scary. What I’m […]
Strawberry Tiny Toast – Cereal Review
Toast, but tiny. Toast, but cereal. Tiny Toast Cereal. One might look at Tiny Toast cereal and think to yourself, “Big whoop! A toast cereal! We’ve got Cinnamon Toast Crunch AND French Toast Crunch in this world. That is enough toast based cereal!” I argue that not only are you wrong, but you’re dismissing something […]
Horror Block – July 2016 – Unboxing and Review
It’s that time again: the July 2016 Horror Block has shambled to my home, delivered by a monstrous zombie mailman. This go around I was completely spoiler free outside of the franchises guaranteed to be included on the post card last month. Those were: Psycho, Friday the 13th and The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror. Those […]
5 Things You Need To Stop Putting On Your Pizza
We live in a beautiful world, one full of choice, variety, and pizza. A charmed world. A world where everyone is free to put whatever they want on their pizza. However, some people take this freedom too far. Some people can’t be trusted to make good pizza decisions. These people have been lead astray by […]
Indie Comics Primer, Volume 2
As you may be aware, Pokemon Go recently reignited my love of Pokemon and I made the somewhat unfortunate decision (for my time and by extension this blog) to pick up a Nintendo 2DS and a copy of Pokemon X. As a result, I’ve been, uh, preoccupied. I’ve had the game a week and I’d […]
Netflix and Kill – July 2016
July 2016 has treated us pretty well, despite what the forecast might have said. This month Humanstein is mixing it up a little bit and including some excellent spooky TV in the mix. This month we’ve got it all: Heavy metal, actresses, cults, conspiracy, Frankenstein monsters, and a good amount of demonic spookiness thrown in for […]
Ghostbusters (2016) Review – I Ain’t Afraid of Reboots
The early 90s (my childhood) was chock full of pop cultural phenomena like Jurassic Park, The Mighty Morphing Power Rangers and of course, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles but quietly present in the background there was always Ghostbusters. Though both Ghostbusters films were released before I was even a glimmer in Mama Humanstein’s eyes, I […]
