Scott Bakula
For my generation he is more famous for being Dr. Sam Beckett, the hero from Quantum Leap, a show I never saw much of but I knew its premise pretty well. Maybe I should watch that…now it’s my Netflix queue. … Continue reading

Bruce Campbell
One of the greatest genre, character and bit actors in my lifetime. Bruce has starred in Army of Darkness, Evil Dead, The Man with the Screaming Brain and A Man Called Bruce. Plus memorable roles in Escape from LA, The Hudsucker Proxy, Congo, all … Continue reading
Phase IV with the director’s original ending
The night I stumbled upon this movie’s showing in the Alamo’s November-December schedule my brain had to do a double-take. For years I had to ponder if Phase IV really existed thanks to the few people who have heard of … Continue reading
Paranorman: Rental
Paranorman has been a hard review to write (over two weeks) because this movie is just so mediocre. Great or terrible movies practically write themselves! I need to see The Corpse Bride and Coraline, find out if these other Burton-inspired stop-motion films … Continue reading
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter: Rental
Another review going into new territory because I can’t whole-heartedly endorse this movie, especially with today’s ridiculous ticket prices. It would’ve been easier if Lincoln were clearly terrible. The mash-up of an alternate history was fine, hell I was looking forward … Continue reading
Beyond the Black Rainbow: Acquired Taste
My first review under the new post-2011 system that lacks a rating of Must See. Up front I will say, I enjoyed Beyond and it made my heart race a bit. Somara was bored. By most accounts this would make … Continue reading
Summer of 1982 VII: The Thing
We are now hitting the home stretch to the official Summer of 1982 celebration with the only remake in the batch. As I’ve often confessed, Horror isn’t a strong topic for me so I recruited some local expertise from Jarrett, … Continue reading
Prometheus: Worth Seeing
Prometheus is a tricky one to review because it’s a minefield of spoilers. Despite it being in theaters for over a week, I don’t want to ruin it for those who plan to see this later or eventually on DVD/Cable. I’ll do … Continue reading
Summer of 1982 IV: Poltergeist
We now hit the half-way point to the Summer of 1982 and this entry the first movie I actually saw in theaters 30 years ago. Poltergeist is a fairly important movie for several reasons: It got actors JoBeth Williams and … Continue reading
Shock Waves
British actor Peter Cushing had a pretty eventful year in 1977. He was one of the only two big names in some little movie called Star Wars and he had top billing in this grindhouse/drive-in appropriate piece. Maybe it provided … Continue reading
Drag Me To Hell
Sam Raimi proves he still can do a humorous Horror-Action movie after spending about a decade on Spider-Man which was like all contemporary superhero franchises, it had diminishing returns with every sequel; in his defense, he did a better job … Continue reading
