Shazam! (aka Captain Marvel): Worth Seeing

Posted on May 10, 2019 by Steve

Finally another notch in the win column for DC. It accompanies Wonder Woman and not the dreadful Justice League, Batman v. Superman, Man of Steel or the by-the-numbers Aquaman. A less-serious adaptation of their Captain Marvel (known as Shazam by stupid people … Continue reading →

Billvis & Butt-Ted

Posted on May 8, 2019 by Steve

Both duos are low IQ types but Bill & Ted were more endearing since they didn’t use frogs as baseballs or put firecrackers into innocent creatures…and they wouldn’t vote for Donal Trump. However, Beavis & Butt-Head are closer to reality … Continue reading →

Force Awakens meets Duran Duran

Posted on May 7, 2019 by Steve

My favorite Duran Duran album mashed up with the cool, newer character from the Star Wars saga. The minimal of colors and porcelain skin applied to Rey via the Nagel style works pretty well.

RIP: Peter Mayhew

Posted on May 2, 2019 by Steve

What makes Peter’s passing even sadder was that he was scheduled as a guest for Austin’s upcoming comic book convention; he had spent his final years living in Texas because he married an American lady. Unlike David Prowse (the other … Continue reading →

Children of Men: a cautionary tale we’re ignoring

Posted on April 30, 2019 by Steve

I think this movie did pretty poorly at the box office because Dystopian films tend to fail when they’re released between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. Can’t even remember why I didn’t see it sooner but it popped up on … Continue reading →

Slut in a Good Way: Worth Seeing

Posted on April 27, 2019 by Steve

The message of this Quebecois comedy is the double standard between the sexes. Namely how women get labelled sluts and men are congratulated for the exact same behavior. Let me rewind to the movie. Charlotte is a teenage girl enamored … Continue reading →

Captain Marvel (Marvel): Worth Seeing

Posted on April 12, 2019 by Steve

MCU gambles on an obscure character again but doubles down on setting the story in the recent past, probably to match the soundtrack filled with overplayed crap better. Cynical jab aside, Marvel succeeded again in making an excellent film centered around a … Continue reading →

LEGO 2: Must See (Great Sequel too)

Posted on April 7, 2019 by Steve

The long-awaited sequel to The LEGO Movie finally arrived, we saw it on the opening weekend and it sadly tanked. It’s not why my review is way, way overdue…it’s playing at the discount theater and I think you buy LEGO 2 on … Continue reading →

RIP Larry Cohen

Posted on March 25, 2019 by Steve

Another great B-Movie director/writer/creator has passed away. Larry may not be as famous as Roger Corman or Russ Meyer but he gave us some pretty bitchin’ flicks through his career: Black Caesar, It’s Alive, Q and The Stuff. With Joe Bob Briggs’ return … Continue reading →

1988: The Naked Gun, still holds up

Posted on March 22, 2019 by Steve

Another entry for the Lost Tales or “Steve didn’t post this in a timely fashion.” In the end, does anyone really care? Maybe. I really wanted to get my recollection posted closer to the New Year because that’s when I saw this … Continue reading →

The Kid Who Would Be King: Streaming at best

Posted on March 16, 2019 by Steve

This Super Bowl Sunday the choices for seeing a movie on the best day of the year to go were terrible if there was going to be something Somara and I could agree on. Glass was out because she’s not a … Continue reading →

The Favorite: Must See

Posted on March 5, 2019 by Steve

The whole bru-ha-ha and self-congratulating of the Oscars® are over but never the usual finger pointing via identity politics in which the biggest question of “is this movie any good?” gets skipped since it lacked [insert in the blank]. The … Continue reading →

RIP Katherine Helmond

Posted on March 1, 2019 by Steve

You may not recognize the name immediately, but for my generation and older, she was the clueless matriarch of the wealthy family in Soap. Younger people will probably know her as Mona from Who’s the Boss? The coolest thing Katherine did though … Continue reading →

Ralph Breaks the Internet: Streaming

Posted on February 26, 2019 by Steve

Another movie that didn’t really need a sequel yet it turned out decently but it wasn’t necessarily with all the expense of going to a movie theater. My short version of Ralph 2. Initially I wasn’t remotely interested because the … Continue reading →

I may be getting another 15 minutes!

Posted on February 23, 2019 by Steve

The gang at RiffTrax are holding another Kickstarter to fund their 2019 Live Tour. This time they’re mocking three movies and they’re real winners: Octaman, Star Raiders and The Giant Spider Invasion. Star Raiders was only released in 2017 with Casper Van Dien … Continue reading →
