Death Race 2050: Time Killer

Posted on May 16, 2017 by Steve

A sequel to Roger Corman’s cult fave Death Race 2000 arrived this year and made it to Netflix right away. It’s definitely a low-budget operation because the only stars in it are Malcolm McDowell as the Chairman of the United Corporations … Continue reading →

RIP Powers Boothe

Posted on May 15, 2017 by Steve

Sad to see one of the best heavies in show business passing away. Even when Powers didn’t play the villain (Red Dawn, Southern Comfort) he still had a menacing tone and air about him. I first noticed him in the … Continue reading →

Sausage Party: Utter waste of time

Posted on May 14, 2017 by Steve

From the people who gave us the unfunny, profanity-laden Superbad is their attempt at a cartoon ripping off the same plot as Free Birds. The difference would be the dirty jokes that would only amuse middle schoolers. I guess it was funny when Seth Rogen and … Continue reading →

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Must See

Posted on May 13, 2017 by Steve

The superhero team from 2014 I thought wouldn’t succeed, due to their obscurity, is back. This time the focus is on Starlord/Peter’s father. This isn’t a spoiler because you see it in the commercials/trailers. All the humorous infighting is there, Drax … Continue reading →

May is traditionally Summer Movie Season’s start!

Posted on May 1, 2017 by Steve

Let’s hear it for PhotoFunia again! I thought this art was frickin’ awesome because May has been the West’s traditional kickoff month off the Summer Movie Season since like forever. Well, I’ll go out on a limb and say 1975 … Continue reading →

Logan: Worth Seeing

Posted on April 16, 2017 by Steve

The finale of the Wolverine trilogy and Hugh Jackman’s last performance as the most-popular X-Man; same goes for Patrick Stewart playing Professor X. It’s also their best portrayals but I readily admit I’ve never seen the previous two films so I guess … Continue reading →

Pretty in Pink: Still holds up after 31 years

Posted on April 15, 2017 by Steve

This was the movie accompanying the Andrew McCarthy book-signing. Andrew didn’t stick around after the Q&A since he says he doesn’t really watch himself. I can agree with that. I would find it unnerving. Before the movie started, he explained how … Continue reading →

Andrew McCarthy

Posted on April 9, 2017 by Steve

Part two of my Eighties Flashback encounters. Ugh! That sounds like a lame-ass VH-1 promotion. Let’s just say I had a coincidence of three major memories from the Eighties who gave the opportunity to see/meet them. Above is Andrew McCarthy … Continue reading →

The Dwarvenaut

Posted on April 5, 2017 by Steve

I wanted to watch this since it debuted at SXSW’s film portion last year and Dwarven Forge founder Stefan Pokorny came by Dragon’s Lair to show off what would be in his current Kickstarter. The movie covers Pokorny’s background, upbringing … Continue reading →

The Founder: Must See

Posted on March 27, 2017 by Steve

The Founder is primarily about Ray Kroc, the man behind what McDonald’s became until his death. It also entails the two brothers (Mac and Dick) who created the original restaurant Kroc hijacked and transformed into an empire that still feeds … Continue reading →

Kong: Skull Island: Worth Seeing!

Posted on March 25, 2017 by Steve

Kong delivered where the recent Godzilla failed. How? Firstly, Godzilla is the “hero” monster that kind of shows up to defeat two other moth-like things. Its pace was blech and when it was all over, Godzilla was the lesser problem. Kong on the other … Continue reading →

Fist Fight: Disappointment

Posted on March 18, 2017 by Steve

The other half of our recent double feature was my choice after John Wick 2 and I didn’t fare any better in this rather by-the-numbers comedy playing up Charlie Day’s spastic character from Philly and the often grouchy Ice Cube. The difference? … Continue reading →

John Wick 2: Stop Bothering!

Posted on March 18, 2017 by Steve

People didn’t listen the first time. Now they went and made a sequel thanks to the original making an actual profit. Now I was dragged to this because Somara loves these Hong Kong knockoffs. I figured the character had killed off … Continue reading →

RIP Bill Paxton

Posted on February 26, 2017 by Steve

What a fricking pisser to wake up to and see on the news within the first five minutes of my morning. I thought last year took away too many beloved people and now ’17 is trying to outdo ’16 by … Continue reading →
