“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)”
Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Maximum Overdrive (1986)
Let’s Ride #3! Stephen King may be a much beloved horror novelist, but he is definitely NOT a good director. His first and only directing gig put him in control of 1986’s Maximum Overdrive. Based upon Trucks, a story included in King’s first short story collection, Night Shift, the film stars Emilio Estevez, Laura Harrington,Continue reading “Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Maximum Overdrive (1986)”
M3GAN 2.0 (2025)
Going In A New Direction I saw M3GAN 2.0 way back on its opening weekend. Sadly, I’m just now finding the time to give a brief review of the film. The film pits an upgraded version of Megan against a rogue version of herself dubbed AMELIA, a self-aware android that looks even more human thanContinue reading “M3GAN 2.0 (2025)”
