    Fun Your Top 5 Horror Movies

    Funny story. I saw this in the theatre with friends when it came out, and we loved it. Several years later, the television series started, and I never watched it. I had it in my head that the studio took a horror-comedy classic and made it all emo, so I eschewed it. I then learned that Whedon...

    Review (Horror of) Dracula (1958)

    Most definitely the best of the batch. Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing were at the top of their respective games in this one.

    Review The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)

    @Carol that makes me happy knowing that there is still an audience for the good ol' midnight showings! I'm in Iowa, and the closest theatre that still does them is an hour and a half away, and I've just never had the time to attend. Some day...

    Review The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)

    I must admit, I've still never been to a live screening. I think it will always capture an audience looking for silly fun, but in our day and age of movie streaming and downloading, I'm certain that there are fewer and fewer willing to go out and experience it, particularly in costume. I would...

    Review "Spanish Dracula" (1931)

    http://www.shadowlocked.com/20101014733/opinion-features/halloween-advent-a-tale-of-two-draculas.html (Sorry if this constitutes spam.) The Lugosi version is a classic for many reasons. The acting is incredible, particularly from Lugosi, Edward Van Sloan, Dwight Frye, and David Manners. It has...

    Fun The Trek Franchise!

    THE MOTION PICTURE - Boring. Visually spectacular, but dull. Rehashed "villain", too much exposition, too little action. THE WRATH OF KHAN - The best of the batch. Brought back one of the best villains of the original series, did an updated take on the episode Balance of Terror, and Spock's...

    Review Star Trek: Nemesis (2002)

    I'm planning on rewatching this one, because I really liked it, but I don't know if it's because it was done after the boring INSURRECTION or if it really was good. I like the Romulans, and love seeing more about them in the franchise. I'll give it another viewing and get back to you.

    Review Star Trek: Insurrection (1998)

    Oh my, yes. The wife and I went to see this one in the theatre, and I walked out afterward and regretted going. She actually really liked it, and kept trying to explain why it was good (again, she hates STAR TREK). Nostalgia Critic did a crossover review of this one with Linkara, and Linkara...

    Review Doctor Strange (2016)

    We will all have to agree to disagree, because I loved that movie. I thought it was nearly on par with CIVIL WAR and DEADPOOL (and leagues ahead of the two DC movies last year). While I am sick of origin stories, Strange is a character that most outside of the nerd culture don't really know much...

    News Another FANTASTIC FOUR Movie?

    I never even watched the last one. The first FANTASTIC FOUR had some cool moments, but it still sucks. The sequel had Silver Surfer, which was done pretty much right, but then they mess up Galactus. At least Chris Evans escaped and became Captain America.

    Review Logan (2017)

    I think it looks amazing, and I hate that I'm getting my hopes up. X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE had such promise. There were moments taken directly from the ORIGIN comic story, but they condense that into a couple of minutes, and throw much of it out. Deadpool was misused, Sabertooth was horrible (I...

    Review Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)

    Here's my thought on the one piece costume. I understand what they are going for. For years, people laughed about the underwear on the outside. Because people have no sense of history, and didn't see the connection with the costumes of carnival strongmen and the strength of superheroes. And when...

    News The Batman (2021)

    The official story was that studio heads were afraid that audiences would get confused by seeing the same actors on the television and in the movies. From what I gathered from other articles, Snyder thinks the television programs are "too light", and insists on giving us this dark, gritty...

    Review Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)

    Superman's costume looks very nice. That is all.

    Review The McGann Doctor

    Also the set design. I loved the cyberpunk TARDIS console room.

    Review The McGann Doctor

    He was absolutely robbed. I remember at the time being quite upset that McCoy was being replaced, because I had a connection with his Doctor (and, of course, with Ace). But McGann was brilliant right from the get go. I wish we could have seen much more of him in the role.

    Review The Incredible Hulk (2008)

    Agreed. I would have loved to have seen Bill Bixby in a big budget, modern HULK movie.

    Fun That Place of Historical Interest You Went To...

    I haven't been to too many historical sites, only because I can't afford to travel. One of the places I have gone was Fort Snelling in Minnesota. It had been a holding site for hundreds of Native Americans during the 19th century as they were being forced onto reservations. I remember seeing...
