Morgan (2016)

OK, that was…interesting. And I’m not sure how I feel about it. For as long as I’ve loved movies, which is a VAST part of my life (take that however you want), I’ve been aware of the films of Ridley Scott. More than that…I LOVE his movies! Even if the subject matter is a little […]

Don’t Breathe (2016)

In 2013, a remake of the 1981 B-movie classic ‘The Evil Dead’ was announced as being in production…and I wasn’t sure how I felt about it. Normally, remakes turn out to be essentially useless and have no real reason to exist (aside from the unimaginative pursuit of cash), especially when the original is out there […]

The Imitation Game (2014)

This is a film that’s been poised on my ‘Must See’ list for a good long while now, ever since it’s theatrical release. Every time the option to throw it on came up, some excuse (usually mine) would arise, usually mood-related, and we’d move on, much to my girlfriend’s frustration. But this weekend…the time had […]

Jason Bourne (2016)

Ok, Bourne…if the time has come for you to walk into the sunset for the last time…I’m going to let ya. Hell, truth be told, I would’ve been perfectly satisfied with Matt Damon capping off the now-iconic role with his last turn in 2007’s kick-ass ‘The Bourne Ultimatum’…much as I would’ve been happy with the […]

Suicide Squad (2016)

Today is my birthday. My wonderful gal pal thought (correctly) that it’d be a cool thing if part of this particular day was spent trying out the VIP theatre at the nearby Cineplex, in our new hood. And the chosen flick…DC’s newest attempt to win over the fanboys…’Suicide Squad’! In truth, I feel kinda of […]

Star Trek Beyond (2016)

Ah, it’s good to be back. Here we are, smack dab in the middle of the Summer Movie Season, and due to our choice to get the hell out of our shitty, ghetto-like neighborhood, my attention and the time that would be used to devour the selection of ‘big’ flicks that currently adorn screens across […]

The Rift aka Endless Descent (1990)

Even if this low rent piece of shit had been released the year before, during the head-to-head Battle at the Box Office of 1989, between the other ‘underwater thrillers’ like the vastly superior ‘The Abyss’, the unapologetically entertaining ‘Leviathan’, and the moronic ‘Deep Star Six’…it still wouldn’t have stood a snowballs chance in Hell. I’d […]

Saturn 3 (1980)

Ok, now THAT was some hilarious shit! I’d heard about Saturn 3 several times over the years as one of those lower budget sci-fi flicks that REALLY tried to jump onto the Star Wars bandwagon in light of the movie-going audiences apparent thirst for Big Scale Science Fiction / Horror at the time. I throw […]

Independence Day: Resurgence (2016)

Back in the wild ole days of 1996, two movies came out that essentially changed the genres they owed their existences to. One of them was ‘Scream’, which gave the tired ‘slasher’ franchise a much-needed jolt of energy, while the other was ‘Independence Day’. I remember the summer that it opened and it was BIG […]

The Manhattan Project (1986)

For a significant chunk of my (so far) 38 years on this fine little planet of ours, I’ve been a collector of some specific things, going back to my youth. Along with movies…I’ve been hoarding books from about as long as I can remember. Way back in The Day (the 80’s and early 90’s), access […]
