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 […]

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 […]

Bazaar Rituals

A short story by LR Forgues — Deep space Another time Another system Life is plentiful and commerce rules all — The Korlaxen Star System – 12 individual planets orbiting a brilliant yellow star, known locally as the ‘Sphere of Korlax’, was renowned throughout the galactic quadrant for its intricately plotted shipping routes and the […]

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 […]

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 […]

A Revisit: A Sound of Thunder (2005)

While perusing one of my usual geek sites, I came across an article listing off a selection of unfinished films that were dumped into the market before they were 100% complete, for whatever reason. In among the handful of titles was this one. As I was reading what the article’s author had to say, I […]
