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

Ranking The Franchise: Child’s Play/Chucky

Having recently ranked the Mission: Impossible franchise after it [allegedly] wrapped up with The Final Reckoning, I got to thinking about what other franchises I could do a ranking of. In addition to Tom Cruise’s nearly 30 year action journey, I had previously done the Halloween, Friday The 13th, and Nightmare On Elm Street series from bottom to top. Which is little surprise, as horror … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: Child’s Play/Chucky
