Roaring Into Theaters One More Time!

Atop The Empire State Building Fathom Events and Turner Classic Movies are bringing the 1933 original King Kong back to the big screen! The film, originally released by RKO Radio Pictures, featured groundbreaking stop-motion effects by Willis O’Brien, a pioneer in special effects that would become a major influence on many special effects artists thatContinue reading “Roaring Into Theaters One More Time!”

LEGO DC Minifigs

Series 16 I’m not a huge collector of LEGO products. My son is completely infatuated with them, though, and I enjoy watching and/or helping him build his many sets. I do enjoy looking at many of the minifigures that come with the sets and those that can be purchased individually. One minifigure collection that caughtContinue reading “LEGO DC Minifigs”

See You At Louisiana Comic Con!

Big News! I was going to wait until this afternoon to make an official announcement, but I’m too excited to keep the good news under wraps. Last night I received confirmation that my panel, Bela Lugosi: The Universal Count, was approved for Louisiana Comic Con in Lafayette, LA! I sent my reply last night andContinue reading “See You At Louisiana Comic Con!”

They’re Both Wrong (Super Bowl Stuff)!

Miami Gardens, FL I rarely mention professional sports such as football, baseball, hockey, and basketball in my blog. They really don’t have a lot to do with what this blog is all about so their exclusion makes perfect sense. I have covered these events on at least one occasion that I can remember, though, butContinue reading “They’re Both Wrong (Super Bowl Stuff)!”

February Films

It’s Going To Be A Busy Month. February is usually home to forgettable films such as Seventh Son (2015) and Monkeybone (2001). Considered one of the dump months for the film industry, February rarely features a film that becomes a beloved classic or even a financial success. There have been a few exceptions to theContinue reading “February Films”

Hurricane Pro: Queens of the Ring II

Ford Park Exhibit Hall, Beaumont, TX Despite nasty weather, a solid crowd showed up for Hurricane Pro Wrestling’s Queens of the Ring II. The evening’s match ups were broadcast live on Title Match Network on their YouTube channel. There were seven matches in all and all of them were excellent. Along with a few familiarContinue reading “Hurricane Pro: Queens of the Ring II”

Upcoming Conventions!

Finally Getting Back Into The Swing Of Things… I attended three conventions last year. Those conventions were Louisiana Comic Con in Lafayette, LA, CyPhaCon in Lake Charles, LA, and the first ever Beaumont Comic Con in Beaumont, TX. I have plans to attend all three again this year, but Beaumont Comic Con is still quiteContinue reading “Upcoming Conventions!”

Dracula Drains In Third Act

The BBC and Netflix Almost Had A Winner I was excited to see that the story of Dracula was going to be getting its own series on Netflix. I became less excited whenever I heard that Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat were involved. While I’m fully aware that both of these men worked on highlyContinue reading “Dracula Drains In Third Act”
