    Fun US vs. UK Television Format

    Over the years, I have lamented that there were so many British programs that only lasted a few seasons/series, and then disappeared. As I've gotten older, I see some wisdom in this type of format. Often, programs will do only a few series, with about six episodes each. Some shows last for...

    Review Vicious (2013)

    Freddie (Ian McKellen) and Stuart (Derek Jacobi) are an old gay couple who have been together for nearly 50 years. Their lives now revolve around entertaining their frequent guests and hurling insults at each other at every opportunity. This show was brilliant. It was only two series and a...

    Review Clerks (1995)

    After Kevin Smith became an indie film darling with his first film, the critically acclaimed CLERKS., he was handed the chance to make a big budget film, the critical flop MALLRATS (if you ask me, it's hilarious). While he was flirting with Hollywood fame, Disney (owner of Miramax and...

    Review Pacific Rim (2013)

    There were always plans out there to bring back the giant monsters of yesteryear. But after PACIFIC RIM became a hit, it seems like there was a renewed interest in Godzilla, King King, and all of the other monsters that came before. Does the movie deserve to be recognized in that, or would the...

    Review All Things WILLIAM CASTLE!

    William Castle: Horror marketing genius or schlock king? Do his gimmicks overshadow his movies? Or should he be dismissed the way Ed Wood has been dismissed by film critics and snobs? Should any of his films be considered classics?

    Review Riverdale (2017)

    As a huge lifelong fan of Archie Comics, I had my trepidation about this show. But after watching the pilot, it has quickly become my new guilty pleasure. Sure, so much has been changed from the fun loving teenagers from the original comics, but the new show takes its cues from the new runs of...

    Review The Mummy (1959)

    After the Universal mummies dried up and before Brendan Fraser battled CGI sandstorms, Christopher Lee was a new version of Kharis, who was another bandage wrapped monster with lust on his dusty mind. Is it as good as the Universal films? Better? Worse? Is there anything the 1999 version...

    Fun D.C. Animated Universe

    All things DCAU can and should be discussed here. Does the DCAU begin with the Timmverse (BATMAN:TAS onward)? Should SUPER FRIENDS count? What were the best television series, animated movies? The worst? Can we have the person or persons behind TEEN TITANS GO put to death?

    Fun Foods You Won't Eat!

    We all have them. Those foods that you absolutely will not eat. Like, you've been stranded on a desert island for weeks, with nothing to eat, and you're rescued by a boat where they only have one thing to eat, and as hungry as you are, you won't even touch it, and spend the next week on your way...

    Review The Defenders (2017)

    I've enjoyed all of the Marvel shows on Netflix so far, with my favorite still being Daredevil. But Dayum! This looks like it might usurp that show in my eyes.

    Review Let's Talk About THE GRAMMYS!

    Just a few thoughts about the night. Some might be unpopular, but I'm sure we can all agree to disagree on some issues, right? :) -Metallica with Lady Gaga! Best performance of the night! Amazing! -Adele was, as always, perfection. Even with her hiccup during the George Micheal tribute. And the...

    Review Your Favorite Martial Arts Films

    I'm just going to list my ten favorites, in no particular order. I'll also take suggestions for other films to check out. Enter The Dragon Fearless Rapid Fire Ip Man The Chinese Connection/Fist of Legend (I'm counting them both as one, because both versions are terrific) Black Mask Bloodsport...

    Fun The Terminator Franchise!

    I really disliked Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. Like, just thought it was crap. I really enjoyed Terminator: Salvation. I realize that much of this is because of the charisma of the actors, because the story isn't terrific (good story, but could have been executed better). Still, I can...

    Review Who are your favorite internet film reviewers?

    I spend way too much time watching film reviews online (I'm toying with the idea of starting my own YouTube channel and joining them), and there are a few who are really entertaining and cover some movies that I really appreciate. A few of my personal favorites are: Brad Jones - The man behind...
