Posted on December 29, 2017 by Steve

It has been a great year for Wonder Woman! Beyond her killer film, DC Comics featured the princess in three team-ups with complimentary heroes. Thankfully, Zak Snyder couldn’t screw them up. First is the a team-up we could only have … Continue reading →

Atomic Blonde: Rental

Posted on September 10, 2017 by Steve

The short version…John Wick is a woman duking it out in Berlin circa 1989, days before the Wall is destroyed by the residents. To create the mood, cue up all the predictable Eighties synth tunes that sound German (New Order, Depeche … Continue reading →

Posted on September 2, 2017 by Steve

His name doesn’t ring many bells but if you were kid like me growing up in the Seventies, he was the indispensable Oscar Goldman, Jamie Summers and Steve Austin’s boss at the OSI on The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic … Continue reading →

Dirty Mary Crazy Larry

Posted on August 4, 2017 by Steve

Caught this before it dropped out of Netflix (I need to seriously trim my queue). I vaguely recall the title when I was a kid too. It’s mostly a Heist/Car Chase movie which was based upon a novel. With how … Continue reading →

Baby Driver: Must See

Posted on July 18, 2017 by Steve

Edgar Wright churns out a masterpiece in the Car Heist subgenre of car-chase movies. Baby is more than just a technical marvel, which Wright excels at, he did a better job on making likable characters and plot (I just don’t like Scott Pilgrim). … Continue reading →

Posted on May 23, 2017 by Steve

For me, he was James Bond whenever these movies came out. Roger wasn’t my favorite but he did star in several of the best movies in the franchise: Live and Let Die, The Man with the Golden Gun, The Spy Who … 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 →

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 →

Danny Trejo

Posted on September 29, 2016 by Steve

Danny Trejo has been the designated badass in numerous movies for the last 20 years, especially when Robert Rodriguez or Quentin Tarantino needed him. They must do something special with the camera because as the picture above shows…I’m a couple … Continue reading →

DC’s Hanna-Barbera offerings redesigned

Posted on September 20, 2016 by Steve

Suffice to say, not everything from DC is annoying reboot of their universe for the umpteenth time *cough! Rebirth**cough! Crisis something* No, someone from the executive caste in the Time Warner empire probably told the DC people to make viable … Continue reading →

Sword of Destiny

Posted on March 5, 2016 by Steve

The “sequel” to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon made its recent debut on Netflix. I know a lot of critics poo poo’d it but I really enjoyed it. Any movie showing Michelle Yeoh kicking ass is a positive thing for me, the … Continue reading →

The Last Witch Hunter: Time Killer

Posted on November 8, 2015 by Steve

The name Vin Diesel is not synonymous with quality or thoughtful but he’s been involved with two well-loved franchises: Riddick (my favorite) and those Fast & Furious car fetish movies; word has it he’ll return to revive XXX. This mediocre … Continue reading →

Mad Max: Fury Road Must See

Posted on May 24, 2015 by Steve

It’s great to see this Eighties franchise return and with a vengeance. I’ve always loved Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior and Mad Max slow patches and all. Mad Max 3: Beyond Thunderdome has never held up, it was a terrible preview … Continue reading →
