“7-Mary-3 and 7-Mary-4, responding” I was only one year old when the first season of CHiPs debuted on NBC in September of 1977. Despite this, and due the fact that my family, especially my sister, loved the series, I became a fan of the show in its later seasons. It lasted for six seasons fromContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: CHiPs (1977-83)”

Throwback Thursday: Edge Of The Axe (1988)
“Where are you, Gerald?“ I have to admit that 1988’s Edge Of The Axe never hit my radar until a few days ago. I was completely unaware that the film even existed until it was recommended to me on Tubi. I was intrigued by the look of the slasher in the film and was familiarContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Edge Of The Axe (1988)”

Throwback Thursday: Valentine (2001)
Roses are red…. In 1996, Wes Craven breathed new life into the stagnant slasher genre with Scream.

“What is light without dark?” Ridley Scott has directed some of the biggest feature films of all time including Alien, Gladiator, The Martian, Blade Runner, and Thelma & Louise.

The Man Without Fear! During the 1990’s I spent most of my time in college classes, at the movies, or hanging out with friends. While I did rediscover comic books, I pretty much stopped buying and collecting toys save for the random action figure, die cast car, or sports cards. Toy Biz was one ofContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: 1997 Toy Biz Spiderman Web Force Tank Attack Daredevil”

Throwback Thursday: The Batwoman (1968)
With the campy Batman television series ending fourteen days before its March 28, 1968 release, The Batwoman (La Mujer Murcielago) hit the silver screen in Mexico.

Throwback Thursday: Riding The Bullet (2004)
“The Bullet is constant.” Released in 2004, Stephen King’s Riding The Bullet is a generic thriller that tries desperately to be more than it is. The film has flashes of brilliance that are spread too far apart by long sequences of awkward interactions, failed attempts at art house-styled scenes, and mundane moments. It was directedContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Riding The Bullet (2004)”
