Jab’s Disney Reviews: The Black Cauldron

THE BLACK CAULDRON (1985): Written by: Lloyd Alexander (Original Book Series), Ted Berman, Vance Gerry, Joe Hale, David Jonas, Roy Morita, Richard Rich, Art Stevens, Al Wilson & Peter Young This is a controversial one for many reasons. It basically Disney-fies a semi-popular children’s novel (The Chronicles of Prydain, which noted Webcomic author Randy Milholland of Something Positive fame REALLY enjoys- he’s said some great stuff about it), … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: The Black Cauldron

Classic Movie Review: The Naked Gun

I must have watched The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult about a hundred times as a kid. The third entry in the Naked Gun trilogy came out when I was thirteen years old, so it was obviously pretty much targeted directly at me. Juvenile jokes and Anna Nicole Smith in lingerie; what more could a kid want? I’m relatively sure I’d never even … Continue reading Classic Movie Review: The Naked Gun

Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon S (121-124)

Mistress 9- the Messiah of Silence. And we’re back with the penultimate set of episodes for Sailor Moon S! When we last left off, there was a ton of stuff revealed- our villain is called Pharaoh 90, and is an unseen otherwordly force. His primary agent speaks through innocent young Hotaru Tomoe, and her father, the mind-controlled Professor, creates monsters as part of the “Death Busters” … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon S (121-124)

Top Ten: Non-Comic Book Movies of the 2010’s

Sure, maybe this isn’t thematic for November, BUT it dawned on me that we are nearing not just the end of the year, but the end of the DECADE! The 2010’s are rapidly leaving us, and who knows what the 2020’s have in mind? Depending on whether you say “Twenty-twenties” or “Two-thousand-twenties”, they may bring us 100% more Barbara Walters and Hugh Downs! Am… am … Continue reading Top Ten: Non-Comic Book Movies of the 2010’s

Entertainment Rex: June 2021 part 2

My wife wants us to paint our bathroom. I sometimes worry that she has forgotten who she married. There is nothing in the world I would rather do than nothing. Every so often she has grand designs on some project or another. She’ll ask “Do you want to [do a thing I don’t want to do] today?” as if she doesn’t know the answer. (The … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: June 2021 part 2

Jab’s Disney Reviews: The Fox & The Hound

THE FOX AND THE HOUND (1981): Written by: Daniel P. Mannix (original novel), Ted Berman, Larry Clemmons, David Michener, Peter Young & Burny Mattinson Another one based off of a forgotten novel (with many changes- initially Tod & Copper didn’t know each other; Chief also dies in the novel), this one wasn’t a major hit, but has a cult following, largely due to the bittersweet nature … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: The Fox & The Hound

Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon S (112-116)

Look at how happy, harmless and innocent she is! She surely won’t cause the apocalypse! Welcome back! This time, we get the proper debuts of two important characters- our new “General”, Mimete, and the darkly mysterious Hotaru Tomoe. Who everyone familiar with the show knows by her later identity, but try to look surprised, because they run with it all season long, okay? The show … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon S (112-116)

Entertainment Rex: June 2021

I went to the movies for the first time since February 2020 today! God, I have really missed that. Obviously in the COVID era, I have developed quite the affinity for watching movies at home, but I have always adored the cinema. Watching movies at home is fine, if a bit distracting. Watching them in the movie theater always feels more like an experience. The … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: June 2021

Penny: But if I don’t get back to the orphanage… I’ll never get adopted.Madame Medusa: Adopted?

Jab’s Reviews: HBO’s Oz

“OZ… that’s the name on the street for the Oswald State Maximum Security Correctional Facility- Level Four” This show stands out as one of my all-time favorites, despite a few hiccups. This was HBO’s very-first original series, before “The Sopranos”, “Sex and the City”, “The Wire” and others came THIS. The brainchild of series creator Tom Fontana, “Oz” takes place in the Oswald State Maximum … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: HBO’s Oz

Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon S (116-120)

Mimete- aka Best Villain Ever. And we’re back for more! Chibi-Usa and her friendship with Hotaru (who is both genuinely sweet and kind, and also possessed by Satan) is now the focus of the show, with the “Outer Senshi” (Sailors Uranus, Neptune & Pluto) being bitchy and unhelpful to the younger Sailors again. EPISODE #116: Kind of a “filler” one- Chibi-Usa, Usagi & Hotaru disregard … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon S (116-120)

Jab’s Disney Reviews: Robin Hood

ROBIN HOOD (1973): Written by: Larry Clemmons, Ken Anderson, Vance Gerry, Frank Thomas, Eric Cleworth, Julius Svendsen & David Michener Robin Hood came out at a time when Disney’s fortunes were a bit on the wane, and so some cost-cutting was required. After deciding to take the classic tale and make all the characters animals (a brilliant move- it instantly separated the work from the COUNTLESS Robin … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: Robin Hood

In this set- the debut of Super Sailor Moon! You can tell it’s a Super Form because it’s even more girly and detailed than the LAST one. And now it’s time to close the book on the first chapter of Sailor Moon S, as we uncover the Talismans that everyone’s been hunting for! And OMG, the whole “the Talisman holder will DIE if it’s removed!” … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor MooN S (109-111)
