“I won’t let anything harm you. Ever again.” One of the most recent horror films to make it into my list of Thirty-One Favorites is 2022’s AI/robotics terror tale, M3GAN. In the film, a young lady, Cady, loses her parents in an accident and is taken in by her aunt, Gemma, who happens to beContinue reading “TODOH #5: M3GAN (2022)”

Mattel The Hammond Collection: Dr. Ian Malcolm (2022)
“Must go faster….” It’s been awhile since I posted an action figure review, so please forgive me if this particular one is a few years old. As my longtime readers know, I was very fond of Mattel’s Amber Collection featuring six inch versions of some of the best characters from the Jurassic Park and JurassicContinue reading “Mattel The Hammond Collection: Dr. Ian Malcolm (2022)”
Classic Cinema: Monster From The Ocean Floor (1954)
“It could absorb a man.” The first film that Roger Corman ever produced, Monster From The Ocean Floor (1954), may not be the best film that Corman was ever part of, but it’s definitely an important film despite its B-movie status. It starred Anne Kimball as Julie Blair, Stuart Wade as Steve Dunning, and DickContinue reading “Classic Cinema: Monster From The Ocean Floor (1954)”
Companion (2025)
“I’m free. And all it took was a bullet to the head.” Sophie Thatcher portrays Iris, a robotic companion that takes things into her own hands in 2025’s Companion. The film co-stars Jack Quaid as Josh, her owner and lover, Lukas Gage as Patrick, Harvey Guillen as Eli, Megan Suri as Kat, and Rupert FriendContinue reading “Companion (2025)”
Masters Of The Universe (2026)
“They call me a devil, but I mean to be a god.” I love this movie. I could stop right there, but there’s so much more to talk about when it comes to 2026’s Masters Of The Universe. As a child of the 80s, I had more than my fair share of Masters of theContinue reading “Masters Of The Universe (2026)”
Fanboys (2009)
“What if the movie sucks?” Fanboys takes us into the wild world of a group of hardcore Star Wars “fanboys” who are intent on helping their dying friend see a rough cut of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace before he passes away. In order to do this, the group has to navigate cross-countryContinue reading “Fanboys (2009)”
Cult Classic: Night Of The Comet (1984)
“Daddy would have gotten us Uzis.” With a perfect blend of horror, humor, and science fiction, Night Of The Comet (1984) is easily one of the best end-of-the-world films from the 1980s. Writer/Director Thom Eberhardt dumps the audience directly into the film from the the very beginning and allows the viewer to ride along withContinue reading “Cult Classic: Night Of The Comet (1984)”
Classic Cinema: Stranger From Venus (1954)
“I am drunk, or you are dead.” Whether you call it Stranger From Venus, The Venusian, or Immediate Disaster, this pleasantly reserved 1954 science fiction drama is an extremely well done film with a direct message that resembles the same message from 1951’s The Day The Earth Stood Still. It features a small but exceptionalContinue reading “Classic Cinema: Stranger From Venus (1954)”
Classic Cinema: Phantom From Space (1953)
“There wasn’t any head in that helmet!” Phantom From Space isn’t a bad film. It isn’t a good film, either. Instead, it’s…..just another film about an alien invader that never really gets going. It gets bogged down in excessively long scenes cluttered with dialogue. There is some action in the film, but none of itContinue reading “Classic Cinema: Phantom From Space (1953)”
Classic Cinema: The Giant Claw (1957)
“Oh, nothing so domestic as a flying saucer. Just a flying battleship.” Slammed by critics at the time, 1957’s The Giant Claw may have one of the goofiest looking monsters of all time, but I really enjoy this movie. Born in the Atomic Age of film, the movie gives us the story of a giantContinue reading “Classic Cinema: The Giant Claw (1957)”
