Throwback Thursday: The Dirt Bike Kid (1985)

Magic Wheels Although he’s best known for 1983’s A Christmas Story, Peter Billingsley was actually a very busy child actor in the 80’s. Not only did he appear in the aforementioned Christmas classic, but he also starred in the thriller Death Valley (1982), Russkies (1987), Beverly Hills Brats (1989), and a few other films asContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: The Dirt Bike Kid (1985)”

Classic Horror: Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II (1987)

“Places to go, people to kill.” When I saw the first Prom Night film, I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I actually had some sympathy for the killer in that film and understood the motive for murdering so many teens. You can read my review of the film here and seeContinue reading “Classic Horror: Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II (1987)”

The Year Of KISS!

“It’s Cold Gin Time Again…..” The hottest band in the world, KISS, has been blowing up speakers and stadiums since 1973. The band officially turns fifty years old in 2023, so I decided that in 2022 I would take a look at all twenty of the band’s studio albums and their four solo works asContinue reading “The Year Of KISS!”

Throwback Thursday: Uncle Buck (1989)

He’s Crude. He’s Crass. He’s Family. Take a simple comedic setup and execute it with a cast of established and soon-to-be stars and you have the successful result that is 1989’s Uncle Buck. The film was a solid success that held the number one spot at the movies for three weeks. It starred John Candy,Continue reading “Throwback Thursday: Uncle Buck (1989)”

McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse 2021 Justice League Aquaman

My First Toy Review Of The Year I’ve been a fan of Aquaman for a very long time. I have fond memories of watching Aquaman as part of the Super Friends cartoon. I also remember his horrible harpoon hand, the cool but short-lived blue stealth suit that he had in the comics, and how heContinue reading “McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse 2021 Justice League Aquaman”

Spider-Man: No Way Home

Three’s A Crowd????? No, absolutely not. Three isn’t a crowd in Spider-Man: No Way Home. The film brings three versions of the beloved Wallcrawler to the big screen in one big film and does a fine job for the most part. There are also five villains to contend with who, surprisingly, work quite well asContinue reading “Spider-Man: No Way Home”

Classic Horror: Tremors (1990)

“We Killed That Motherhumper!” I remember going to the movies in late January of 1990 with my family. My mom and sister decided to see a romantic comedy. My dad chose to join me in watching a flick starring Kevin Bacon (the cool guy that I knew) and Fred Ward (the older, cool guy thatContinue reading “Classic Horror: Tremors (1990)”
