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
A History Lesson part 4 King Paul’s temple had no priestess, which was rare but not unheard of, particularly at that time and place. He would often write a priestess in Atlanta who was Iconoclast-adjacent. Queen Magdalene had been trained as a priestess when she was young, but there were no direct followers where she lived and had been hoping to start a temple. Paul … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #39
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
Chapter 17 Sam, for as displeased as he was to have been back on the sea once again, was at least happy he’d made it through the ferry ride to Canalave without Barry’s Monferno tossing anybody overboard. The ferry had a prominently posted notice asking riders to keep their pokemon contained (“for their own safety and the safety of the rest of our guests”, the … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 17
John from The Pint is back yet again to discuss the 1989-set action movie, Atomic Blonde! For more from The Pint, click HERE! Continue reading Episode 156: Atomic Blonde
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
A History lesson part 3 A joke – I once saw a man standing on a bridge, ready to jump and I told that man, “Don’t kill yourself. Life has meaning.” He said, “ My life doesn’t.” I asked him, “Haven’t you found religion?” He said he had and I said, “Me too. Are you a Christian or are you a follower of Iseda?” He … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #38
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
Chapter 16 Sam was determined to make the trip back to Canalave City as miserable as he could for Carlos. It was not even a small percentage of payback for what Carlos had cost him, but it was the only way Sam could stop himself from putting his own fist through the windshield in frustration. “First of all, I have no idea why you went … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 16
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
A History Lesson part 2 Alysa came down stairs and sat at the kitchen table and was surprised to see that Delroy had set up breakfast for the two of them. It was only a couple bowls of Cheerios and some coffee, but she appreciated her father putting forth the effort. It reminded her of living with her mother. It was nice to have someone … Continue reading AP Production Winghaven #37
I am joined this episode by Arthur from the 2 Cents Critic podcast to discuss the third installment of Iron Man movies. Listen in to find out exactly where I place it in my MCU rankings! For more from 2 Cents Critic, click HERE! Continue reading Episode 155: Iron Man 3
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
Chapter 15 Of course it had to be Sideburns. His name was apparently, as it turned out, not actually “Sideburns”; it was Carlos. And he had been sitting next to Sam for several hours as they navigated the mountainous route 210. The route was unpleasant enough by itself–much of the road crawled around the exterior of Mount Coronet and was protected with guardrails that looked … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 15
