Throwback Thursday: Hurricane Laura And Ninja Turtles

Hard to believe that it’s been five years…. While looking through some old posts, this one from December 20, 2020, the year that Hurricane Laura destroyed my family’s home, popped up in my search string. Although today is December 11, I decided to reblog this old post. Maybe it’s because I’m turning fifty next year,Continue reading “Throwback Thursday: Hurricane Laura And Ninja Turtles”

Throwback Thursday: Wicked (1998)

“Dad, you love me, don’t you?” Tonight we’re taking a trip all the way back to 1998 when Julia Stiles was still a relatively unknown actress, a mere year before her breakout role in 10 Things I Hate About You and three years before her starring role in Save The Last Dance. Yep, tonight we’reContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Wicked (1998)”

Spin Master Batcycle RC

“There is no stopping the Batman.” Yes, I ripped that quote from Teen Titans GO! To The Movies because that series is geared towards children (and adult-sized kids like myself) just like Spin Master’s Batcycle RC is aimed at the same demographic. This is a very simple RC motorcycle that fits the included 12″ BatmanContinue reading “Spin Master Batcycle RC”

Focus On: Ace Frehley

April 27, 1951-October 16, 2025 I know that I’m a little late posting about the tragic death of the legendary Ace Frehley, but I wanted to post about him after Thirty-One Days O’Horror so that I could give his death my full attention. As many of my readers know, I’m a massive KISS fan andContinue reading “Focus On: Ace Frehley”

Thirty-One Days O’Horror: The Monster (2016)

Let’s Ride #30! Today’s Let’s Ride entry is the surprisingly enjoyable The Monster from 2016. The film has a very small cast including its two stars, Zoe Kazan and Ella Ballentine, and Aaron Douglas, Christine Ebadi, Marc Hickox, and Scott Speedman.

Let’s Ride #29! Three teachers en route to an L.A. Dodgers game have car trouble and wind up face-to-face with a sadistic killer and his young girlfriend in 1963’s tense The Sadist.

Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Dark Country (2009)

Let’s Ride #28! Thomas Jane stars in 2009’s Dark Country, a film in which he also makes his directorial debut. The film was written by Tab Murphy and and features Lauren German and Ron Perlman in supporting roles. The movie was shot in 3D which, in my opinion, heavily limits the film’s style and alsoContinue reading “Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Dark Country (2009)”
