Thirty-One Days O’Horror Returns!

You’re Gonna Drink Up This Year’s Theme! Vampires! Vampires! Vampires! Need I say more???? While I know that I haven’t been around as much as I’d like to this year (thanks to major changes at my job), I will definitely continue my October tradition of Thirty-One Days O’Horror. This year I’ll be taking a lookContinue reading “Thirty-One Days O’Horror Returns!”

Houston Horror Film Fest 2024

Houston Marriott Westchase, August 10th This was my third year attending the Houston Horror Film Fest. Work prevented me from attending all three days, but I made the most of my Saturday at the event. There were tons of excellent independent horror films to view, a great selection of vendors, and a celebrity list thatContinue reading “Houston Horror Film Fest 2024”

Mattel The Hammond Collection Isla Sorna Velociraptor Encounter Pack

“Those things know we have the eggs.” Jurassic Park III may not be the most beloved film in Jurassic Park history, but it definitely had its moments. In fact, I actually prefer it to Jurassic Park: The Lost World. It’s an action yarn through and through, and I love it for that fact. Way backContinue reading “Mattel The Hammond Collection Isla Sorna Velociraptor Encounter Pack”

McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse: Catwoman (Arkham City)

“It’s Just Little Ol’ Me.” Released in 2022, the McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Arkham City Build-A-Figure line was quickly on my radar. It came in two versions: a color version and a Walmart exclusive Gold Label black-and-white variant. I’ve put eyes on all four figures in the line, Batman, Catwoman, Penguin, and Ra’s Al Ghul,Continue reading “McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse: Catwoman (Arkham City)”

McFarlane Toys DC Mulitverse: MR. FREEZE (Batman & Robin)

“The Iceman cometh!” Arnold Schwarzenegger served up a heaping helping of cheese in 1997’s Batman & Robin. He dished out one cold line after another, fully embracing his role as Victor Von Fries, better known as the villainous Mr. Freeze. Freeze partnered up with Poison Ivy in an attempt to steal enough diamonds to fuelContinue reading “McFarlane Toys DC Mulitverse: MR. FREEZE (Batman & Robin)”

McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse: BATMAN (Batman & Robin)

“Hi, Freeze. I’m Batman.” A film starring my favorite superhero (Batman) and one of my favorite supervillains (Mr. Freeze) should be one of my most beloved films of all time. Unfortunately for myself and a ton of other Batman fans, 1997’s Batman & Robin was a terrible, brightly colored mess. Leading the charge in thisContinue reading “McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse: BATMAN (Batman & Robin)”

McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse: ROBIN (Batman & Robin)

“My rubber lips are immune to your charms.” Despite a bad script and some terrible special effects, Chris O’Donnell did a fairly reasonable job as Robin/Dick Grayson in 1997’s Batman & Robin. He was one of the funniest parts of the film and worked well with his co-stars. McFarlane Toys has added a figure ofContinue reading “McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse: ROBIN (Batman & Robin)”

McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse: POISON IVY (Batman & Robin)

“So many people to kill….so little time.” With love dust, a poison kiss, and Bane at her side, Poison Ivy was a terrifically terrible villain in 1997’s Batman & Robin. Portrayed by Uma Thurman in the film, Poison Ivy teams up with Mr. Freeze in order to take over Gotham City and, eventually, the world.Continue reading “McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse: POISON IVY (Batman & Robin)”

McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse: BATGIRL (Batman & Robin)

“I want to help Batman and Robin.” Although the 1997 Batman & Robin film is one of my least favorite films in the DC Universe, I have to admit that I really, really liked the costumes and some of the characters. One of the characters that I really enjoyed seeing on the big screen wasContinue reading “McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse: BATGIRL (Batman & Robin)”
