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?”
Read All About It!
All The News That’s Fit To Print This post will be a mixed bag of good news and bad news. Let’s start things off with the best news right away and then work our way through the rest. I’ve been approved for a panel at Louisiana Comic Con in March! I won’t be revealing anyContinue reading “Read All About It!”
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”
Throwback Thursday: Anaconda
Deep In The Amazon Sometimes you intentionally go to the movies to watch a forgettable, dumb film. Sometimes the film you believed would be nothing more than a good way to kill an hour and a half becomes something more. In 1997, Anaconda was that type of film for me. I walked into the theaterContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Anaconda”
Calcasieu Serialfest Chapter 5!
Sulphur, LA If you’ve ever enjoyed watching films such as Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Rocketeer, Star Wars, or almost any of the current crop of superhero films, you owe a little debt of gratitude to the classic serials of the early twentieth century. Almost every aspect of modern action and adventure films hasContinue reading “Calcasieu Serialfest Chapter 5!”
Throwback Thursday: The Last Starfighter
Greetings, Starfighter….. Way back in July of 1984, a science fiction yarn loaded with a newfangled form of special effects known as CGI (computer generated imagery) was released. That film, The Last Starfighter, nearly doubled its production cost of around $15 million dollars in ticket sales, but to this day it gets very little respectContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: The Last Starfighter”
“It’s Risky, But It’s Worth A Try”
In that galaxy far, far away… Apparently Solo: A Star Wars Story is a major flop for Disney. From what I’ve read, the film needs to make around $500 million just to break even and as of this writing, it’s crawling just beyond $350 million and things aren’t looking too good for the film. TheContinue reading ““It’s Risky, But It’s Worth A Try””
Throwback Thursday: Cat-Women Of The Moon!
1953 This week I’m taking the Wayback Machine to the 1950’s, a great time for film thanks to the release of such great classics like The Ten Commandments (1956), The Wild One (1953), and Some Like It Hot (1959). It was also an exceptionally wonderful time for science fiction. Classics like Invasion of The BodyContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Cat-Women Of The Moon!”
