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.

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”

Classic Cinema: Queen Of The Amazons (1947)

“Just What Are They Afraid Of?” The jungle adventure genre is almost as old as film itself. Many early mass-distributed films took place in the jungle. Tarzan Of The Apes (1918), King Kong (1933), and The King Of The Kongo (1929) are all examples of early popular jungle adventure films. The genre’s popularity has waxedContinue reading “Classic Cinema: Queen Of The Amazons (1947)”

Classic Cinema: A Fool There Was (1915)

“Kiss me, my fool!” Not to be confused with the 1922 silent film of the same name and based upon the same play, 1915’s A Fool There Was is a crucial piece of cinematic history. It is the first starring role for Theda Bara, the woman that most cinephiles consider to be the first cinematicContinue reading “Classic Cinema: A Fool There Was (1915)”
