A Revisit: Neighbors (1981)

Here we go again, with another title from somewhere down Memory Lane, and this time I’m going a fair way’s back. My folks, my late father especially, loved The Blues Brothers (1980), as well as being fans of that era’s Saturday Night Live…you know, back when it was Good. That being said, the cinematic team-up […]

A Revisit: Black Moon Rising (1986)

This is another of those flicks from Days Gone By where the VHS / Video Store poster art resonates more in my mind than the actual movie itself. I was 9 in ’86 and my love of movies was deeply entrenched by that point, especially within the science fiction, action, and horror genres. What can […]

A Revisit: Basic (2003)

John McTiernan is arguably one of the greatest action directors who’s ever lived, with prime classics like Predator (1987), Die Hard (1988), The Hunt for Red October (1990), Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995), and The Thomas Crown Affair (1999) standing out among lesser-but-still-impressive titles like Medicine Man (1992), Last Action Hero (1993), and The […]

Project Hail Mary (2026)

I love it when the hype is real. Ever since Project Hail Mary was released, I’ve heard nothing but good things, so naturally I was curious. Plus, I’m on a serious outer space kick these days, in both my current viewing habits and the next piece of short fiction I’m currently piecing together in the […]

Disclosure Day (2026)

I will admit that, as I’ve gotten older, my rabid thirst for All Movies, All the Time as abated somewhat, simply due to Life and the natural diversification of interests n such. Once upon a time, I would’ve killed to see ANY Steven Spielberg title on the Big Screen, even if just from a completist […]

Primitive War (2025)

As noted in many a previous review, I always appreciate a good war flick, particularly those set during the Vietnam War (for some strange reason). In conjunction, I also always appreciate a solid horror / science fiction movie as well. Put those two together, and the potential for cinematic magic becomes a distinct possibility. Having […]

War Machine (2026)

I remember when Netflix was first dipping its toes into the finicky pool of Feature Film production, after having readily established itself as a leading forerunner in the new-at-the-time digital streaming concept, and I freely admit to being initially impressed by some of their early ‘Netflix Originals’. But over time, and under constant bombardment from […]

A Revisit: Johnny Handsome (1989)

I’ve been a fan of the films of director / producer Walter Hill for as long as I can remember, with titles like 48 Hrs. (1982), Extreme Prejudice (1987), Red Heat (1988), Another 48 Hrs. (1990), Trespass (1992), Geronimo: An American Legend (1993) and Last Man Standing (1996) effortlessly coming to mind. The man has […]

From the World of John Wick: Ballerina (2025)

I was admittedly curious when I first got wind of this side-quest-like addition to the unexpectedly successful John Wick franchise (2014 – 2023), but unfortunately, at the time of its release, Life opted to rear its ugly head and presented me with some destiny-altering decisions and actions that needed to be taken, thus solidly interfering […]

The Magnificent Seven (1960)

I do appreciate me a good Western and since it’s been a hot minute since I gave a fresh one a gander, the words “why the hell not?” popped through my thick noggin when I saw this title tucked in with the other rejected DVD’s parked sadly at my local thrift store. Less $5 later […]
