Totally Killer (2023)

“Remember, avoid the knife, keep your life.” Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men, Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina) heads up the time traveling whodunit Totally Killer. The 2023 slasher/sci-fi/dark comedy/mystery has a lot going on in it with two plots running parallel in the present and way back in 1987. In the film, Shipka plays Jamie Hughes, aContinue reading “Totally Killer (2023)”

Throwback Thursday: Congo (1995)

“We are watching you….” While plenty of films based upon Michael Crichton novels were released prior to it, the success of 1993’s Jurassic Park ignited film studio interest in Michael Crichton’s books like never before. In quick succession, films based on Crichton’s work were cranked out by the Hollywood machine. None of them came closeContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Congo (1995)”

Classic Cinema: The Mole People (1956)

“Their eyes can’t tolerate the light!” The 1950s were a time of change for horror films. Science fiction began to make its way into more and more horror movies of the period. Aliens, mutants, and giant monsters started replacing vampires and werewolves as the go-to monsters of the day. The Atomic Age brought us filmsContinue reading “Classic Cinema: The Mole People (1956)”

65 (2023)

“Family….” I remember seeing trailers for the Adam Driver epic 65. I even remember seeing posters for the film while checking out other movies at the theater. What I don’t remember about the film is people talking about it once it was released. This film just sort of arrived and then quietly exited theaters withContinue reading “65 (2023)”

Mattel The Hammond Collection Robert Muldoon (2023)

“Clever girl….” Game Warden Robert Muldoon (portrayed by the late Bob Peck) is the one character in the original Jurassic Park (1993) film that I hated to see die. If you’ve read the novel you are aware that the character survived the incident at Jurassic Park. He was one of my favorite characters in bothContinue reading “Mattel The Hammond Collection Robert Muldoon (2023)”

Throwback Thursday: Weird Science (1985)

“From my heart and from my hand, why don’t people understand?” John Hughes wrote and directed the teen science fiction comedy Weird Science. Despite being a very successful film, it is rarely mentioned in conversations about some of Hughes’ most successful films such as Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Home Alone, and Ferris Bueller’s DayContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Weird Science (1985)”

Throwback Thursday: Flash Gordon (1980)

“Flash Gordon. Quarterback. New York Jets.” Entirely over the top and insanely fun to boot, 1980’s Flash Gordon is loud, brightly colored, and completely bonkers. It features a stellar cast loaded with actors who are well known in the science fiction and fantasy genres and boasts a soundtrack written and performed by none other thanContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Flash Gordon (1980)”
