Top Ten Favorite Movie Franchises

Don’t tell anyone, but I’ve actually done this list before. I’m not even going to link to it because it was years and years ago, and a lot has changed since then. I’ve watched and re-watched a lot more movies. And new movies have come out, affecting some franchises’ positioning on the list… for better or worse. Also, the previous list had one glaring omission… … Continue reading Top Ten Favorite Movie Franchises

NausicaA Of The Valley Of The Wind Review

With having now watched Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind, I am now up to seven Hayao Miyazaki films in my mental catalogue. Which is to say: a fair amount, but not nearly enough! Nausicaa is a strange one. It technically pre-dates Studio Ghibli, but it is often shown at Ghibli based viewings and festivals. It’s the pre-cursor to the studio, and the film … Continue reading NausicaA Of The Valley Of The Wind Review

Killer Klowns From Outer Space Review

Anyone who knows me knows that I love some 1980’s horror movies and franchises. Obviously I have long been a lover of the big series like Friday The 13th, Halloween, and A Nightmare On Elm Street, but I also quite dig the lower tier stuff when I have seen it. Movies like Maniac Cop, Grotesque, or Chopping Mall are highly enjoyable despite their lower budgets. … Continue reading Killer Klowns From Outer Space Review

Neighborhood Watch Review

Sometimes I get so caught up in looking for movies on Shudder that I forget my AMC+ app has an entire cinematic catalogue aside from just what the horror sub-app offers! Recently, while tearing through my various subscriptions and looking for something to watch, I opened up AMC+. But before I got to the Shudder button, I caught myself looking at another option: a movie … Continue reading Neighborhood Watch Review

Predator: Killer Of Killers Review

I never saw my first Predator movie until after the COVID-19 pandemic started. When I found myself with more time at home during that worldwide crisis, I decided to start plowing through movies I had never seen before (and that’s a hobby for me that has continued ever since). Early on in that rush, I watched the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger action classic, Predator. I really … Continue reading Predator: Killer Of Killers Review

Alien: Romulus Review

I am, admittedly, not the world’s biggest Alien franchise expert. I have seen about half of the movies released across the entire breadth of the Alien universe. I have, of course, seen Alien and Aliens. I mean: everyone should have seen those classics, right? From there, I’ve also seen the first Alien Vs Predator movie and Alien: Prometheus. And that’s it; that’s all I have. … Continue reading Alien: Romulus Review

Captain America: Brave New World Review

After something of a one offering drought in 2024, 2025 has come along and is offering us a smorgasbord of Marvel Cinematic Universe releases in theater. We have already had Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts*, and Fantastic Four: First Steps is becoming more imminent with each passing day. With Brave New World now available to watch at home on Disney Plus, let’s take … Continue reading Captain America: Brave New World Review
