Rocky IV: A Delightfully Watchable Deviation (Review)
Oh man, Rocky IV… This is when the series really got out there. I’ve long held the belief that this is not a good movie, even though it’s such a delightful moviegoing experience. And after rewatching it the other night, after reading about Sylvester Stallone’s intention to recut the movie (without the totally realistic, common…

Bill & Ted Face The Music: Surprisingly Triumphant (Spoiler-Free Review)
I love Bill & Ted. I saw both of the original movies when I was in high school and was going through some stuff. Connecting with one of my, then, casual acquaintances over them really did a lot to get me through what I was going through and it also led to him becoming one…

Cobra Kai Season 1: Good Fun or Toxicity Incarnate? (Review)
The first two seasons of Cobra Kai just hit Netflix and, to mark the occasion, I thought I’d revisit the Karate Kid franchise to see how well its aged over the years. I’d checked out Cobra Kai a few years ago when it first debuted on YouTube Premium (or YouTube Red or whatever it’s called…

The Karate Kid or: that thing they keep cutting to in Cobra Kai (Review)
The Karate Kid is iconic. There’s no beating around the fact that most of you reading this have already seen this movie before; it’s a staple of anyone who grew up with a VCR, DVD Player or Cable TV’s film watching experience. But, since Cobra Kai is crane-kicking it’s way onto Netflix next week, and…

Titanic II or: what a $500,000 budget and a Van Dyke triple-threating gets you
It isn’t hard to look at 2010’s Titanic II and laugh. There’s a level of narcism to releasing a movie about a doomed ship called the “Titanic II” while knowing that someone, somewhere, will assume it’s a sequel to James Cameron’s 90’s staple Titanic. That narcism made this a hard enough pill to swallow for…

High Score Review (Netflix) – A Crash Course in Gaming
I like video games. How daring and unheard of me, right? For as long as I can remember, I have always been able to find refuge from the troubles of life by sitting down and getting lost in gaming. And not just the latest and greatest games either; most of the video games I talk…

A Tribute To Youth: Dazed and Confused
Remember your teens? It’s easier for some than others. The years we spend as teenagers are a time dedicated to discovering yourself and growing into the person you going to be for the rest of your life. At least that’s what they tell me. And by they, I mean Uncle Ben. Thanks Uncle Ben. Honestly, your…

Was Joel Schumacher’s “Batman and Robin” really that bad?
Joel Schumacher’s (may he rest in peace!) take on the caped crusader and his plucky, albeit much whinier, sidekick/boy wonder may have killed the franchise upon it’s arrival in 1997, but is it really the travesty of cinema it’s been made out to be? Honestly? I don’t think so! We recently watched this movie for…

We Have Star Wars At Home | Battle Beyond The Stars
A “Modestly Priced” Sci-fi B-Movie… Battle Beyond the Stars is a 1980 space opera/sci-fi film that was produced by Roger Corman, the fabled king of b-movie, exploitation and independent filmmaking, at a modest budget of $2,000,000 USD. Isn’t that a weird thing to say? “A modest budget of two million buckeroos.” Believe me, it is…
