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!
It’s Star Wars Day! I’ve been a Star Wars fan for my entire life, literally. Although I was just a few days away from being one year old when it was released, my family went to the theater to see Star Wars (now known as Star Wars IV: A New Hope).

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?”

A Buzzing Success!
Somewhere South Of Cybertron I really had my doubts about the Transformers franchise whenever I heard that a Bumblebee movie was in the works at Paramount. Although I enjoyed the first Transformers film way back in 2007, each and every film that followed seemed to get more sophomoric with the humor, more outlandish with theContinue reading “A Buzzing Success!”
A Look Back At 2018
“Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot….” 2018 will go down as one of my favorite years. It included a few firsts, a couple of great returns, and one or two surprises as well. The year started off with a bang as I got the chance to attend Aro Lucha’s first professional wrestling event in Beaumont, TX. Continue reading “A Look Back At 2018”
