Star Wars, Never As Good…

I’ve heard a lot of people question whether or not we’ll ever get another movie as good as the originals… The prequels were a disaster, the spinoffs have been decent to laughable, and The Force Awakens was good… ish? Sigh… So the question remains, will we ever get another movie as good or as groundbreaking as the original trilogy? Well get your pitchforks ready, … Read More Star Wars, Never As Good…

Star Wars Episode 2… What Could Have Been

Okay I’m not going to lie, Episode 2 was a major letdown. However, what made it even worse was when this fan-made trailer came out… Yeah… tell me that wasn’t more awesome than what we saw in theater!? Keep in mind, I wasn’t a film buff back when this was made. So there was a lot of movies that i hadn’t seen… so for … Read More Star Wars Episode 2… What Could Have Been

Unpopular Opinion: The Phantom Menace Wasn’t A Bad Movie

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OVfjn-lrsk Shaddap! Okay we all remember Episode 1 being the most anticipated movie in almost all of history. Fans were nuts! Action figures literally flew off of the shelves (I think I still have a few) and people were ready for Star Wars fever. We’ve been without a new movie for over a decade and were itching for this. What we got… did … Read More Unpopular Opinion: The Phantom Menace Wasn’t A Bad Movie

An Unpopular Opinion: Masters of the Universe

As I got older and the internet became a thing… imagine my surprise when one of my childhood favorites didn’t do very well at the box office. I mean I suppose that I shouldn’t be surprised, given the lack of sequels, but I loved this movie. It is, in my opinion, one of the better fantasy movies to come out of the 80s. Oh … Read More An Unpopular Opinion: Masters of the Universe

The Geek Casualty.

I’ve heard a lot of talk lately since Trump was elected about how ‘We’ve  won the war against the regressive left!’ How their party, the democrats, are now in shambles as the republicans now dominate the senate, house, White House, soon the Supreme Court… and the majority of the elected governors. In addition, the mainstream media has been ripped to shreds in many ways. … Read More The Geek Casualty.

Chappaquiddick (2017) – Projection

I try to steer clear of movie reviews, especially projections… but as this one comes out of my home state… and given the subject matter, I feel the need to get a few things off my chest about this movie… Per Masslive: “Based on a script by Andrew Loga, the film recounts the 1969 car accident, where U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy drove off … Read More Chappaquiddick (2017) – Projection

Ruining my Childhood.

I’ve heard this phrase over and over. We saw it come to a height during the Ghostbusters debacle, but it’s been around since before and long after. Mostly, people who use this and similar phrases are mocked as being man-babies, among other less flattering things. What does the phrase mean? Well basically when you say that something is ruining your childhood, they’re saying that … Read More Ruining my Childhood.

The Nazis are Bad!

There seems to be a rather annoying trend… I won’t say recently because it’s been going on for years, which is why it’s getting annoying. This trend is something we see in all mediums and it follows the same basic formula: Bad Guy + Nazi Imagery = Effective Villain. That’s right… is your bad guy lacking in back story? Are they just not cutting … Read More The Nazis are Bad!

LOGAN: Wolverine 3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22iu8byk5C8   Oh God… you know, I get the impression that I will not be leaving this theater with dry cheeks… On one hand, its because this is Hugh Jackman’s last appearance as Wolverine. That alone is enough to make a respectable fanboy cry. This is a rare form for an actor as he has faithfully portrayed the character and gave the role his … Read More LOGAN: Wolverine 3
