Throwback Thursday: This Bigfoot Isn’t Blurry!

Texarkana, Texas Just a stone’s throw away from Fouke, Arkansas is Texarkana, Texas. While that fact may not interest everyone, it definitely got the attention of Bigfoot fans earlier this month. On June 14th and 15th in Texarkana, The Legend of Boggy Creek was shown at the Perot Theatre, the same theater where the filmContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: This Bigfoot Isn’t Blurry!”

Throwback Thursday: ALF (1986-1990)

HA! I Kill Me! I was ten years old when NBC gave me and the rest of the world the gift of Gordon Shumway, also known as ALF.  The series ran for four seasons on NBC and proved to be mildly successful with audiences.  It focused on ALF and his trials and tribulations with theContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: ALF (1986-1990)”

Throwback Thursday: Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light (1987)

On The Toy Shelf This week’s Throwback Thursday post is a little bit strange.  Why? Because I’m throwing back to a toyline based on a cartoon that I never personally watched but I still fell in love with the action figures because they were so friggin’ cool.  Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light was aContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light (1987)”

Throwback Thursday: Daredevil: The Man Without Fear (1993-94)

Hell’s Kitchen Frank Miller is responsible for a number of the most beloved comic book stories ever placed on the printed page.  The Dark Knight Returns, Sin City, and 300 are just some of the titles that Miller wrote and illustrated.  He is also responsible building up one of Marvel’s most popular characters, Daredevil.  TheContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Daredevil: The Man Without Fear (1993-94)”

Throwback Thursday: Comic Book Men (2012)

Red Bank, NJ Today’s Throwback Thursday post is very special.  Why?  Because I’m pretty sure that this is the “youngest” Throwback that I’ve ever posted and because I just so happened to meet one of the stars of this particular series over the weekend (and completely forgot to mention meeting him in my previous post). Continue reading “Throwback Thursday: Comic Book Men (2012)”

Throwback Thursday: Halloween (1978)

Forty Years Ago It’s hard to believe that it has been forty years since John Carpenter’s Halloween was released.  While it wasn’t the first slasher film (many argue that 1912’s The Lunatics deserves that title), it was definitely the film that blazed the trail for future slasher franchises such as Friday The 13th, A NightmareContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Halloween (1978)”

Throwback Thursday : The Fantastic Four (1994)

Something Fantastic! Early in my college years, I would often shrink away from people for a few hours and walk over to the local K&B Drugstore (sadly, long gone) and look through their selection of magazines and comics. Once in awhile I would read an article about rumors surrounding a potential X-Men film or otherContinue reading “Throwback Thursday : The Fantastic Four (1994)”

Throwback Thursday: The Music Of DC Comics (2010, 2016)

The Sound Of Superheroes Founded in 1934, DC Comics has made its mark on the printed page, the small screen, and the big screen.  With its new subscription streaming service, DC Universe, officially underway, the world of heroes such as Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, has become even more available to anyone with a deviceContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: The Music Of DC Comics (2010, 2016)”

Throwback Thursday: The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)

What’s This? I apologize for posting two Tim Burton related Throwback Thursday topics in a row, but with Halloween right around the corner, you really can’t blame me.  Also, The Nightmare Before Christmas celebrates its twenty fifth anniversary on October 29th of this year, so it’s a perfect time to highlight this wonderful classic. ForContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)”

Throwback Thursday: Beetlejuice (1988)

Day-OH! Thirty years ago in March of 1988, a wonderfully bizarre film was released that featured established comedic actor Michael Keaton in one of his defining roles.  The film also featured early cinematic performances from Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis (Both had been in quite a few television shows prior to this movie.  Davis hadContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Beetlejuice (1988)”
