With Phase One in the rear view mirror for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, success was already well in hand for the burgeoning juggernaut. After a stellar start in Iron Man, they may have had a few mid-level follow-ups, but The Avengers proved there was a voracious desire to see more from Marvel. So how would they fare with their next several offerings? It was time … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: MCU Phase Two
I do so love these Blast From The Past reviews where I take a look back at films from all different timeframes of cinema. I’ve done the very recent history with movies like La La Land, and I’ve gone back to the beginning of Hollywood with flicks like The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari. Today, I’m going back, but not TOO terribly far, as this is … Continue reading Excalibur (1981) Review

I’m back on my franchise ranking horse! I do love taking a look back at an entire movie franchise I have watched every entry of and deciding how it goes from best to worst. It’s a great conversational piece, too, for the comments section. How would YOU rank them, et cetera, et cetera. One of the franchises I’ve had a strong desire to do for … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: MCU Phase One
I actually remember Tommy Boy getting released back in the 1990’s, as well as how little I ever wanted to see it. I am really not sure why that was. I was a Saturday Night Live fan of the era, and I usually enjoyed the early 90’s cast as “my” era of the show. I wasn’t always a fan of Chris Farley, but I dug … Continue reading Tommy Boy review
I’ve never had whatever genealogical advantage it is to be a male in America and have a car fetish. I’ve just not had any desire to look at cars or purchase cars or race cars or compare cars. It’s all very expensive and boring to me. My car takes me where I need to go, and that’s about all I know about it. But some … Continue reading Eenie Meanie Review
I often forget that AMC+ is its own whole streaming service. You see, we access Shudder through AMC+, so the vast majority of the time, when I am turning on AMC+, it’s to immediately scroll down several bars and get to the Shudder button. In our household, we live or die with Shudder, and it’s one of our most used streaming services on our televisions. … Continue reading Tornado Review

It’s rare, but every so often, I get a bug in me to watch the entirety of a franchise I’d never seen before. Last year, it was Mission: Impossible. This year I decided to watch the entire Final Destination series. I blame Amazon Prime, through which we have our HBO Max subscription. I was fishing around for something to watch, and Prime kept throwing FD … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: Final Destination

Have you ever put off watching a movie longer than you probably should have? It was over a month ago at this point that I initially saw Summer Of 69 floating around Hulu as a potential viewing option. I pondered it, considered it, but ultimately discarded it in favor of something else. And since then, at least two or three times, I would be scouring … Continue reading Summer Of 69 Review
Not that I’m of the belief that it ever went anywhere, but how nice is it to see that mainstream horror is all the way back with the success that Sinners and now Weapons have had at the box office? Horror is having a wonderful year with the masses in 2025. With Sinners being in my top five movies of the year, I went into … Continue reading Weapons Review

Are there movies for which you have seen most of the noteworthy scenes just due to their ubiquitousness in pop culture, and so you have decided to put off ever watching the whole picture? I remember finally watching John Carpenter’s The Thing a few years ago, and a movie that should have been an absolute banger for me got downgraded slightly (calm down! I still … Continue reading The Great Dictator Review
I don’t watch enough short movies. I helped MAKE a short movie once. It… wasn’t very good. But I was proud of it at the time. And, most importantly, it further taught me how absolutely difficult it can be to produce a film of any length or quality. I had made a few other films for classes in high school, and those were even worse … Continue reading The Littles Review
