Throwback Thursday: Willow (1988)
“You’re not warriors. You’re pigs! You’re all pigs!” While the work of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg commanded most of my attention as a child, a third person who doesn’t get enough recognition from fandom in my opinion also took up a lot of my time. Ron Howard may not be one of the firstContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Willow (1988)”

Jurassic Park: Amber Collection Dilophosaurus
“Ah, no wonder you’re extinct. I’m gonna run you over when I come back down.” Those were the wrong words for Dennis Nedry (Wayne Knight) to say in 1993’s Jurassic Park. If you’ve seen that film, you know that Nedry’s fateful line was directed at a curious Dilophosaurus. Thanks to the most recent Jurassic ParkContinue reading “Jurassic Park: Amber Collection Dilophosaurus”

Loosely based on the book (published in 1812) of the same name by Johann David Wyss, the film tells the story of the shipwrecked Robinson family andContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Swiss Family Robinson (1960)”
Rank: Top Ten Favorite Tag Teams
“Ohhhh, you didn’t know?????” Professional wrestling tag teams don’t seem to get nearly as much emphasis these days as they did back in the 1970’s and 80’s. Even with electrifying performers such as the Hardy Boyz, the Young Bucks, and Edge and Christian making an impact in the 2000’s, most modern tag teams are packagedContinue reading “Rank: Top Ten Favorite Tag Teams”

Throwback Thursday: That 70’s Show (1998-2006)
“Hanging out……down the street….” It’s hard to believe that a show about the 1970’s is over twenty years old. That 70’s Show is the second longest running live action sitcom for the Fox Network (Married…With Children is the longest). It’s successful run ended fourteen years ago in 2006 after eight seasons, but the series isContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: That 70’s Show (1998-2006)”
