Noah (2014)

Just to get it out of the way – I am NOT religious. Never have been and never will be. No thank you. *don’t even get me started on the historically-factual evils, tragedies and horrors associated with mankind’s long over-cooked reliance on organized superstitions, long outdated institutions now easily warped and utilized as tools of […]

A Revisit: Body Parts (1991)

As I’ve recounted in several past reviews, the early nineties were a glorious time for me and my little band of horror movie-loving knuckleheads. Being in our early teens at the time, we were out to devour every bit of R Rated mayhem we could get our grubby mitts on, and into the mix of […]

Sinners (2025)

I’ve been wanting to see this one for a while, going back to it’s theatrical release. As usual, Life got in the way and I missed this highly praised little genre gem when it swept over our local Big Screen. What I did not miss was the increasingly vocal and almost overwhelmingly positive scuttle-butt that […]

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025)

An open letter to James Cameron, from a life-long fan: Stop. Just…stop. Please. Enough is enough…and three, is enough. The Avatar Detachment Phenomenon is an odd one. It’s literally the most profitable franchise in science fiction movie history…yet we never seem to talk about it. Why not? In a broad sense, it doesn’t feel like […]

State of Grace (1990)

This is another of those titles that I always remember seeing in among the dizzying myriad of VHS tapes that adorned the walls of whatever video store I was either checking out or working at (5 are noted on the ole resume’, no bullshit). Even in the Way Back of the early ‘90’s, I knew […]

Doctor Zhivago (1965)

Or, as the onscreen title proclaims it – David Lean’s Film of Doctor Zhivago For years, the only relation I had with Doctor Zhivago was the title’s prominent usage in my Second Favourite Movie Ever – True Romance (1993), inserted by Quentin Tarantino and Tony Scott as a clandestine place-holder for character conversations revolving around […]

John Wick Chapter 4 (2023)

As I recently noted in another review, the original John Wick (2014) caught me off guard when I first saw it. I’d gone in with next to no expectations, ready for some C grade Taken rip-off or something, especially since star Keanu Reeves hadn’t exactly been setting the Box Office on fire around that time. […]

Den of Thieves 2: Pantera (2025)

For those who didn’t want to dive into that original Den of Thieves review from years gone by, I can summarize it this way – when I first opted to check that first installment out on the Big Screen, very much on a whim, I’d gone in with next to no expectations. However, much like […]

Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024)

If that title is posed as a question, I say – Die. A lot. As a brand that has now CLEARLY outstayed it’s welcome, the smart move on the part of long-time series super-producer and franchise champion Jerry Bruckheimer (Black Hawk Down) would be to take these Bad Boys out to the pasture and quickly […]

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (2025)

Ever since the first flick hit the Big Screen in that heady year of 1996, brought to unlikely life by Brian DePalma (The Untouchables), of all people, I’ll admit that I’ve been a steady fan of this strangely long-lived franchise, despite one significant caveat – I think Tom Cruise, The (possibly) Human, who plays the […]
