Isla Nublar Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park got the Steven Spielberg treatment with 1993’s film of the same name. The movie blazed new trails in practical and CGI effects. In fact, the CGI in that film is still considered by some as some of the best CGI in cinematic history. John Williams handled the musical dutiesContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Jurassic Park”

Throwback Thursday: Space Rangers
Space Rangers was a short-lived science fiction series that debuted in January of 1993 on CBS. Only six episodes of the series aired and it was quickly removed from CBS’ schedule. Despite being created by Pen Densham (best known for his production work on The Outer Limits and The Twilight Zone revivals) and boasting aContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Space Rangers”
Thor Finally Gets A Decent Film
The Titan Arrives It has taken ten years and almost twenty films to get to his big moment, but Thanos finally arrived on the silver screen in Avengers: Infinity War in April. As of this writing it has easily cleared the one billion mark and doesn’t show any signs of slowing down any time soon. ThereContinue reading “Thor Finally Gets A Decent Film”

Lake Charles, LA I had the pleasure of attending CyPhaCon this weekend at the Lake Charles Civic Center. In its eighth year, CyPhaCon has seen steady growth over the course of its existence. It has morphed into an excellent pop culture convention that draws anime, science fiction, comic, tabletop, and gaming fans. I arrived atContinue reading “CyPhaCon 2018!”
Jaeger Bomb???
Robots and Monsters! I didn’t see the first Pacific Rim film in the theater. In fact, I had no interest in it at all until I picked up a cheap copy of it on DVD (not even Blu-ray!) on the Saturday after Black Friday a few years ago. I fell in love with the excessContinue reading “Jaeger Bomb???”
Blu Ray Releases, CoastCon, and Me!
It’s A Wonderful Time To Be A Geek! March is gearing up to be a majorly geeky month! Black Panther is still dominating the box office (see my review of the film here). The Shape of Water was nominated for thirteen awards at the 90th Academy Awards (wins included Best Picture, Best Director, Best OriginalContinue reading “Blu Ray Releases, CoastCon, and Me!”
A Split Decision
Aboard The Cloverfield Station The Cloverfield Paradox is a paradox in more ways than one. For starters, it’s production was full of scheduling changes, story additions, ties to the Cloverfield universe supposedly shoehorned into the film, production company changes, etc. While these types of changes are par for the course in many major films, TCPContinue reading “A Split Decision”
Is It Time To “Walk” Off?
No More Pudding Last night’s episode of The Walking Dead left me with a lot of questions. Most of them weren’t about why certain things went down in the episode. No, they were primarily about why I watch the show and have loyally done so for eight seasons and whether or not I want toContinue reading “Is It Time To “Walk” Off?”
Look! Up In The Sky!
Boyle Heights, CA I’ve been a fan of professional wrestling for pretty much my entire life. As a child, I remember waking up early on Sunday morning to watch Mid-South Wrestling with my dad. I cut my teeth watching legends like Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Ted DiBiase, Junkyard Dog, and Rick Flair. I watched tag teamsContinue reading “Look! Up In The Sky!”
