Tunes: Life In The Fast Lane (2023)

“Why don’t you come to your senses?” Life In The Fast Lane: The Eagles’ Reckless Ride Down The Rock & Roll Highway is a very decent read. The author, Mick Wall, is notorious for his sometimes scathing looks at some of the biggest acts in rock and metal. This book plays nice for the mostContinue reading “Tunes: Life In The Fast Lane (2023)”

Throwback Thursday: Congo (1995)

“We are watching you….” While plenty of films based upon Michael Crichton novels were released prior to it, the success of 1993’s Jurassic Park ignited film studio interest in Michael Crichton’s books like never before. In quick succession, films based on Crichton’s work were cranked out by the Hollywood machine. None of them came closeContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Congo (1995)”

August Will Be Spook-tacular!

“Totally!” August will indeed be spook-tacular for yours truly. I’ll be heading to the Houston Horror Film Festival once again! Last year was my first visit to the festival and I had a blast. I had so much fun, in fact, that I booked my hotel and secured my weekend pass as soon as theyContinue reading “August Will Be Spook-tacular!”

Rank: Top Ten Favorite Quotes From Tombstone (1993)

“I’m your huckleberry.” It’s hard to believe that thirty years have passed since Tombstone hit the big screen. In celebration of the film (and Jurassic Park and Dazed And Confused), I’m posting content all year long. Today, I’m taking a look at my personal favorite quotes from the Tombstone. There are many more than justContinue reading “Rank: Top Ten Favorite Quotes From Tombstone (1993)”

Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse (2023)

“Miles, being Spider-Man is a sacrifice.” 2018’s Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse set the bar extremely high for any and every Spider-Man film that would follow it. That movie is, at least in my opinion, the best Spider-Man movie ever made. When I finally had the chance to see Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, my expectations wereContinue reading “Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse (2023)”

Classic Cinema: The Mole People (1956)

“Their eyes can’t tolerate the light!” The 1950s were a time of change for horror films. Science fiction began to make its way into more and more horror movies of the period. Aliens, mutants, and giant monsters started replacing vampires and werewolves as the go-to monsters of the day. The Atomic Age brought us filmsContinue reading “Classic Cinema: The Mole People (1956)”

Throwback Thursday: Reign Of Fire (2002)

“Keep both eyes on the sky.” Batman, Wooderson, a Bond Girl, King Leonidas, Dr. Bashir, the Borg Queen, and Joffrey Baratheon walk into a post-apocalyptic world ruled by dragons…..Sounds like a bad joke, right? Well, in 2002’s Reign of Fire, that’s exactly what happened. Christian Bale, Matthew McConaughey, Izabella Scorupco, Gerard Butler, Alexander Siddig, AliceContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Reign Of Fire (2002)”

The Champion Collection From Spin Master: Nasus, League Of Legends (2023)

“Your legacy shall drift away, blown into eternity, like the sands of the desert.” Spin Master has released a number of League of Legends figures based upon characters from the popular PC game over the last couple of years. I was recently given the opportunity to review one of these figures and jumped at theContinue reading “The Champion Collection From Spin Master: Nasus, League Of Legends (2023)”

65 (2023)

“Family….” I remember seeing trailers for the Adam Driver epic 65. I even remember seeing posters for the film while checking out other movies at the theater. What I don’t remember about the film is people talking about it once it was released. This film just sort of arrived and then quietly exited theaters withContinue reading “65 (2023)”

Frankford Candy Jurassic World Surprise Egg

“Think it will scare the kids?” Frankford Candy released their Jurassic World Surprise Eggs in 2022 in conjunction with the release of Jurassic World: Dominion. For whatever reason, I only discovered them over the weekend and I must say, for the price, they are actually pretty cool. You get a nice sized egg (complete withContinue reading “Frankford Candy Jurassic World Surprise Egg”
