Mega Construx MOTU Set: Battle Cat Vs. Roton
“I have the power!!!” Growing up as a kid in the 1980’s meant that I was exposed to a number of awesome toys. From Star Wars to G.I. Joe and from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Thundercats, I tried to get my hands on all of them. In the early part of the decade, He-ManContinue reading “Mega Construx MOTU Set: Battle Cat Vs.

The Forgotten Island
The Island of Dr. Moreau (1977) Bookended by a beloved classic and a notorious flop, 1977’s The Island of Dr. Moreau is often forgotten by science fiction fans despite being a decent adaptation of the H.G. Wells novel of the same name. 1932’s Island of Lost Souls has become an influential classic despite being dislikedContinue reading “The Forgotten Island”
In Defense of Battle: Los Angeles (2011)
Retreat? Hell! I saw Battle: Los Angeles in the theater way back in 2011. A sleeper hit, the film debuted at number one amidst a bunch of films that just weren’t that great including Red Riding Hood and Mars Needs Moms. Panned by critics and dethroned in its second week by the animated Rango, Battle:Continue reading “In Defense of Battle: Los Angeles (2011)”
May The Fourth Be With You!

Going Back With “Back To The Future”
Lake Charles, LA, July, 1985 I fondly remember seeing 1985’s wildly successful Back To The Future with my friend, Brent, in Lake Charles, LA when I was kid. The only bit that I’m not sure about is whether I saw the film at the old Prien Lake Mall Cinema I, II, and III, or theContinue reading “Going Back With “Back To The Future””
Monster Mash!
Fenway Park And Beyond…. Godzilla: King of the Monsters has been out for almost two weeks now. It’s ticket sales haven’t been impressive and it has been slammed by critics, but the bottom line is this: If you watch a Godzilla movie hoping for anything other than massive monster fights, you’re watching it for theContinue reading “Monster Mash!”
Marvel At This?
1995 When Iron Man got the MCU ball rolling over ten years ago, it was the first and last big risk that Marvel took on the big screen. Since that time, the films have been released at calculated times with specific intent and they’ve all been financially profitable. While characters such as Captain America andContinue reading “Marvel At This?”
