RIP Cindy Williams

Posted on February 5, 2023 by Steve

Glad for Marquette Day to squeeze in between my catching up on the obits, I don’t want people to think Picayune is always morbid and bitchy. But I can’t forget Cindy who had a big presence in my childhood like her … Continue reading →

The upcoming D&D movie will debut at SXSW

Posted on January 17, 2023 by Steve

This is rather mixed news to me. Unlike the very loud minority of Gamers whining about “their culture” was hijacked by popular shows like Big Bang Theory (barely seen) and the novel Ready Player One (great book, crappy movie), I don’t have … Continue reading →

RIP: Jeff Beck & Lisa Marie Presley

Posted on January 13, 2023 by Steve

Such a shame that Henry Kissinger remains alive while we lost these two and hear me out on Lisa Marie. First up is Jeff Beck who I will always regret failing to see live thanks to an ex-girlfriend in university. … Continue reading →

M3GAN: Worth Seeing…no joke

Posted on January 12, 2023 by Steve

One of the best things they did to make M3GAN stand out from Child’s Play was re-edit it into a PG-13 movie because it isn’t a Horror movie, it’s an updated warning about tech and the usual bogeyman, Artificial Intelligence exceeding our … Continue reading →

Gotta’ work on the new logo above for Pandemic Theater‘s replacement or really what existed before CV-19. Of course I know the virus is still spreading and continues to be dangerous; the goddess Capitalism decided it’s over as we’ve been forced … Continue reading →

Mom and Dad Save the World

Posted on December 23, 2022 by Steve

This little-known comedy was part of Jon Lovitz’s short-lived career as a leading actor and I remember it briefly existing via a commercial or print ad. However, it probably tanked for being in the shadow of bigger, more successful Summer … Continue reading →

Operation Mincemeat

Posted on December 14, 2022 by Steve

Thanks to the wonderful hosts of Stuff You Missed in History Class, I already knew the underlying premise to this movie about a real deception pulled off by the UK’s Military Intelligence. Mincemeat does change a couple of little things I’ll get … Continue reading →

Prey

Posted on December 7, 2022 by Steve

The Predator franchise is just frustrating much like the Alien one, Terminator died after Judgment Day for me. They started off really well, had a pretty good sequel and then have been really uneven ever since. For Alien, the biggest gripe I have is … Continue reading →

RIP Kirstie Alley

Posted on December 6, 2022 by Steve

I should’ve known there’d be a wave of deaths since I checked my BusyCal and I saw none concerning me for about three weeks. It is a shame to see Kirstie pass, especially if there’s any rightwing crank has been … Continue reading →

Black Adam: Don’t even bother

Posted on November 23, 2022 by Steve

Can you smell what the Rock is cooking? If it’s an anti-hero superhero movie for the struggling DC Universe? Then it’s a steaming turd burger covered in cliché sauce and too much exposition! Johnson wants to be the next Ahnold … Continue reading →

Why Gestapo NPH for this month?

Posted on November 17, 2022 by Steve

It’s a nod to one of the best Satires made in the Nineties…Starship Troopers which hit theaters 25 years ago. Like most movie goers, I saw it the first time and thought, “Hmm, pretty decent Sci-Fi/Action flick. Not sure it … Continue reading →

The King’s Man

Posted on November 16, 2022 by Steve

Since Taron Egerton decided play Elton John and passed on being Gary for a third time in the pretty clever Kingsman flicks, the people running this possible rival to James Bond decided to go the lazy, en vogue direction…a prequel. As if … Continue reading →
