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”

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). I’ve seen every otherContinue reading “May The Fourth Be With You!”
Star Wars: The Rise Of Questions?
The Force Comes Full Circle….Sort Of… I know that I’m in the minority whenever I say that I liked Star Wars: The Last Jedi. I didn’t say that I loved it, because it was just a so-so film, but I’m definitely not one of those folks that completely hated the film for whatever reasons theyContinue reading “Star Wars: The Rise Of Questions?”
Black Series Archive 2019
Star Wars’ Version Of The Disney Vault? I was strolling through a local Walmart the other day and decided to walk down the toy aisle. I was hoping to find some new blind bags to collect but I found some old Star Wars toys instead. Specifically, I found four “new” Hasbro Black Series Star WarsContinue reading “Black Series Archive 2019”
“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””
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!”
Shining “Bright”
Orcs and Elves and Fairies, Oh My! Veteran LAPD officer Daryl Ward (Will Smith) is forced to partner up with the first Orc officer in the country, Nick Jakoby (the completely unrecognizable Joel Edgerton), and ends up taking on a Dark Elf and some bad cops in Netflix’s most expensive original film to date, Bright.Continue reading “Shining “Bright””
The Force Is Middle Of The Road With This One
In A Galaxy Revisited 2017 has been a good cinematic year for geeks, nerds, and pop culture addicts. Logan, Wonder Woman, Alien: Covenant, Kong: Skull Island, Justice League, and Spider-Man: Homecoming are just a few of the films that graced the silver screen this year. Heck, even Netflix delivered with its most expensive film productionContinue reading “The Force Is Middle Of The Road With This One”
My Geeky Christmas List!
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-laaaaaaah! I am not ashamed to admit that Christmas is my favorite holiday. I love the music, the cheesy Hallmark movies, the gaudy decorations, and all of the wonderful smells that range from the pine of the Christmas trees to the cinnamon of the cookies baked for the holidays. I also love the smell ofContinue reading “My Geeky Christmas List!”
Heads Rolled On Day O’Horror #10!
Inspired by Washington Irving With direction by Tim Burton, music by Danny Elfman, gorgeous sets, and an amazing cast, it’s easy to see why 1999’s Sleepy Hollow is one of my favorite films. I watch it multiple times each year (especially around Halloween and, for some odd reason, Christmas) and I never get tired ofContinue reading “Heads Rolled On Day O’Horror #10!”
