McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Black Manta
“I’m going to kill Aquaman and destroy everything he holds dear.” One of the most vicious villains in all of DC Comics in my opinion, Black Manta came to life in the first Aquaman film and makes his triumphant return in Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom. Portrayed by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in both films, MantaContinue reading “McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Black Manta”

Dark Harvest (2023)
“To a violent world with me.” Loosely based upon the 2006 Norman Partridge novel of the same name, 2023’s Dark Harvest is a decent little thriller that blends stories such as The Lottery with supernatural horror like Night Of The Scarecrow and Pumpkinhead. It tells the story of a small Midwestern town wherein a sinisterContinue reading “Dark Harvest (2023)”
McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Gold Label Aquaman Stealth Suit With Topo
“We can’t leave our children in a world without hope.” While I still haven’t seen Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom, I’ve been enamored with the figures ever since they started hitting pegs. I plan on seeing the film soon enough, but for now I’ll review the Target Exclusive McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Gold Label AquamanContinue reading “McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Gold Label Aquaman Stealth Suit With Topo”
Thanksgiving (2023)
“There will be NO leftovers!” Gore god Eli Roth took sixteen years to finally give his fans Thanksgiving. The 2023 film is based upon a trailer that he made for the Robert Rodriguez/Quentin Tarentino Grindhouse double feature (2007). Along with screenwriter Jeff Rendell, Roth developed the story about a vengeful slasher who goes after theContinue reading “Thanksgiving (2023)”
Wish Upon (2017)
“Be careful what you wish for….” I was completely unaware of 2017’s Wish Upon until I decided to do a random “horror” search on Peacock one night. The film, which stars Joey King, tells the story of Clare Shannon (King) and her use of a sinister Chinese wish box that her father (Ryan Phillippe) unwittinglyContinue reading “Wish Upon (2017)”
ABYstyle Red Collection: Harley Quinn Acryl Stand Model
“Hey, Puddin’!” I’m not very familiar with ABYstyle, but they appear to have been around for quite some time. Most of the items on their website appear to be anime related, so my readers that are fans of anime might be familiar with this company. What I do know about ABYstyle is that they makeContinue reading “ABYstyle Red Collection: Harley Quinn Acryl Stand Model”
The Craft: Legacy (2020)
“You girls have been playing with fire….” Director Zoe Lister-Jones guides a whole new group of weirdos in 2020’s sequel/soft reboot of the classic 1996 flick The Craft with The Craft: Legacy. The film’s surprisingly strong cast gives the old college try, but they can’t lift this film above its weak plot. Despite the thinContinue reading “The Craft: Legacy (2020)”
Cult Classic: 20 Million Miles To Earth (1957)
“The creature has to be taken alive!” There really isn’t much of a plot to 1957’s 20 Million Miles To Earth. When a top secret U.S. Air Force spaceship crashes in the Mediterranean Sea, a young boy unwittingly frees a small creature from a protective case and sells it to a local doctor. The creatureContinue reading “Cult Classic: 20 Million Miles To Earth (1957)”
