LEGO® Droids play Star Wars Anthem
With this being May the Fourth be with You weekend, it’s only fitting to show off this guy’s LEGO Droid project I saw via a LEGO rumor site.
Welcome May and this month’s header
Onward to what will probably be our second full month of being in the Pandemic Shirt Storm so what better Header is there than a Horror movie! May 2020 is also the 40th anniversary of the Friday the 13th series. Now … Continue reading
Road to Perdition
When you think of Tom Hanks, I don’t think Road to Perdition readily comes to mind because he’s been so likable for several decades. Therefore him playing a regional gangster’s muscle was a stretch with audiences. I really wanted to see … Continue reading

The Art of Self Defense
If this was supposed to be a Dark Comedy, they really skimped on it. Art is more accurately, a weird Drama or Thriller with a touch of Comedy. I still watched it to the conclusion waiting for the payoff which was … Continue reading
A Stupid and Futile Gesture
Netflix made an interesting biography flick about the first decade of National Lampoon and its co-founder Douglas Kenney. How they executed it was most impressive because it was filled with surprises: namely the casting, the story flow and it readily admitted to … Continue reading

A Quiet Place
A Horror movie with a new twist I was willing to investigate. Quiet receiving a sequel wasn’t a surprise though, about half of all new Horror franchises do well enough to get another: Happy Death Day, SAW, Candyman, etc. I think Quiet earned … Continue reading
RIP Brian Dennehy
For a long time, Brian was the original “You know…that guy…he was in…umm, Cocoon and I think Tommy Boy!” actor. I was guilty of forgetting his name too until Cocoon which would’ve been around 1985. What can you say though. Being “forgotten” because you … Continue reading

Onward: Streaming at best
One upside the Pandemic has given us, Disney moving this mediocre Pixar movie to Disney+ since movie theaters are shuttered indefinitely. I was glad because I saved money, Alamo isn’t cheap when anything doesn’t deliver. The first warning sign I … Continue reading
Drive
So glad to see Drive return to Netflix. I’m indifferent to Ryan Gosling movies, at least he’s not irritating like Justin Timberlake and I was impressed with in La La Land which keeps getting shit on by White Guilt. I was also … Continue reading
The Life of Brian…still hilarious and relevant
Only fitting to watch this flick on Easter weekend! It’s the grown-up and Atheist alternative to being raised with sitting through Moses and the Ten Commandments on ABC every Easter night. It’s also the first movie I heard of to be … Continue reading

Terminator: Salvation
Why‽ Why‽ WHY‽ Why do they keep making sequels to the well-loved Terminator film from 1984‽ I haven’t seen one worth a crap, the short-lived TV show included and my complaint includes Judgment Day but Salvation really shits the bed. There’s a horrible, … Continue reading

Aniara
The short version. Midsommar meets WALL-E because it’s Swedish and many people lose their sanity during the journey. If you’re still curious, keep reading… In the near future, Earth is inhospitable thanks to Climate Change so millions are leaving for Mars via spaceships … Continue reading

RIP Honor Blackman
Honor passed away a couple days ago (and not to CV-19). To most Americans, she’s most famous for being Pussy Galore in Goldfinger but I also knew she was one of the first two Avengers before Diana Rigg replaced her to … Continue reading
At least they didn’t come from China
Given the incompetence of this administration, I wouldn’t be surprised if they thought this was a real offer nor would they get the reference.
