The Blob (1958) Review

I had a choice to make recently between watching the 1958 The Blob or the 1988 remake thereof. Obviously I ended up going with the original. I’m not nearly as anti-remake as a lot of folks are; I recognize that across Hollywood’s history, there have been several great remade movies. And some have even surpassed the originals! But for this instance, I was following my … Continue reading The Blob (1958) Review

So I Bought A Bunch Of Comic Books This Week…

Devotees of SWO Productions may remember that my absolute favorite comic book character–my favorite fictional character at all, mind you–is Jubilee of the X-Men. I’ve written about her before, and I have reviewed so many comics that feature her. And in her history, she’s been honestly kind of everywhere. X-Books, obviously (so many different ones, from Uncanny X-Men through mini-series books like X-Tremists and Dead … Continue reading So I Bought A Bunch Of Comic Books This Week…

New York Comic Con 2025: The Video Interview Collection!

I recently had the good fortune to be invited to New York Comic Con as press, so I packed up and headed to New York (actually New Jersey because riding the ferry rules) for a long weekend away.

Good Will Hunting Review

I’m sure you’ll pardon me if I say I’m going through something of a Robin Williams moment these days. It wasn’t that long ago that I watched and reviewed Good Morning Vietnam. And since then, the hits have just kept coming. I’ve watched the HBO documentary Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind, which is a two hour look at the actor and comedian’s life all … Continue reading Good Will Hunting Review

Book Report: Not Coming To A Theater Near You!

I’ve talked a lot in the last few years about how I think we are in one of the best eras for movies. Streaming has opened up a world of new films to me that I never would have watched if a dozen streaming services, each with thousands of available pictures, did not exist. Independent films, foreign films, and just general low-budget outings are so … Continue reading Book Report: Not Coming To A Theater Near You!

Pop-Tart Quest: No Chill Sugar Cookie

Well this on is going to be interesting. I had actually been sitting on these Tarts since the summer of 2025. And there is a reason for that! I’ve done Sugar Cookie Pop-Tarts before. So these were new in that they would be the first time I reviewed 100% Sugar Cookie Pop-Tarts, but not THAT new as I have partially talked about sugar cookie-ish Tarts … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: No Chill Sugar Cookie

Blast From The Past Review

Welcome to the single most requested classic movie review I’ve had lobbed at me. Considering my sub-series on pre-COVID era movies is known as my Blast From The Past reviews, it’s not wholly unusual that I’ve had several folks comment something along the lines of “You should review the movie Blast From The Past!” or “I thought you were reviewing the actual movie Blast From … Continue reading Blast From The Past Review
