It: Worth Seeing

Posted on December 20, 2017 by Steve

Another second-chance opportunity we got through the local discount theater near work. Economist said it was one of the top ten financially successful movies this year and a rare non-sequel/franchise too. Could’ve fooled me, it didn’t stay at our Alamos for … Continue reading →

Posted on October 16, 2017 by Steve

My comic book store received this promotional cutout thing to promote the upcoming second season. So far the trailers are impressive and I feel that we will not be disappointed. Sure there’s been some pressure to get Stranger Things 2 out … Continue reading →

Normally I would had artwork to go with the theme of Italian Heritage or Pizza, but in light of Stranger Things returning to Netflix for its second season, I made it the header with the show’s typeface. You check out the cool … Continue reading →

RIP George Romero

Posted on July 17, 2017 by Steve

The man who gave us the modern zombie apocalypse genre passed away. Thankfully not the horrible means his numerous characters succumbed to! I’ve never finished his first film, Night of the Living Dead, it was actually too slow and dull … Continue reading →

Alien: Covenant: Must See

Posted on May 21, 2017 by Steve

There’s good new and bad news regarding Covenant. The bad will go first…you have to see Prometheus for this chapter in the Xenomorph’s origin first, or some parts will leave you baffled. The good news, it made sense of Prometheus which was good … Continue reading →

Stranger Things lives up to the hype

Posted on October 16, 2016 by Steve

Admittedly, I’m late to be on the Stranger Things bandwagon when this Netflix hit appeared in July. I was busy getting back into the groove of working, living and other crap which gets us all through the day. José recommended it … 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 →

Ghostbusters (2016) not even worth renting

Posted on September 18, 2016 by Steve

Let me get this out of the way…I never liked the original Ghostbusters neither. It was a huge letdown from the team that gave the world funnier stuff such as Stripes, Caddyshack, Meatballs, Animal House and to a lesser extent The Blues Brothers. I laughed … Continue reading →

Two new crossover comics for the Summer of ’16

Posted on August 14, 2016 by Steve

It’s always exciting to see favorite characters from different owners/licensees get together! Judge Dredd works on numerous levels despite many people forgetting that it’s mostly a British parody of America’s love of violence: Dirty Harry and other unhinged, plays-by-his-own-rules cop. IDW … Continue reading →

Krampus: Rental

Posted on December 23, 2015 by Steve

An attempt at a Horror Comedy which doesn’t really provide enough of either. It had a few humorous moments commenting on the holiday’s commercialization and redneck relatives. As for the horrifying parts, they don’t have to be covered in splatter … Continue reading →
