On this little gem of a page, you can find my "reviews" for movies! As far as the reviews go, expect me to give the movie a fair go regardless of if it's an adaptation or original idea - although if I am familiar with the source, you can expect me to chime i on that as well. I've also provided amazon links at the end of each review, so if you see a movie you want to pick up you can provide a kickback to help the site keep trucking.

View the Title List by clicking the clapper image to see movies by title (assuming its been reviewed). If you know a specific movie, use the search bar to speed things up. You can also click on a MPAA Rating bar to bring up a selection of 20 movies from my comrade TPBM and I each of that Rating. I'm looking into getting the limit to be expanded by my provider though, so don't stress too much, okay?
Festive spirit for the festive day - well, sort of. It’s got Santa in it, but it sure ain’t for kids. Christmas and Santa makes it a Christmas movie in my book - but perhaps it doesn’t have the same level of cheer some people would require. Still, perhaps we’ll have an interesting take on the old man winter. Grab your cookies and heat up some milk, tonight we venture out take a peak at the Fatman.

What’s better for the holidays then a murder? Literally probably almost anything - but a murder mystery? Chefs kiss, we all love guessing who and why. Tonight’s entry might be lacking the snow, but hey - it takes place close to home (or at least closer to actual home than most movies do) in grand old New York. Yes, there is more up here than the city. Anyways, get your white collars and you knives out, it’s time to Wake Up Dead Man.

I was playing a video game earlier and made a comment about how cool it would be to have a mode where you were laying siege to a tower dramatically and the Lord of the Rings music would kick in, and that’s all it took today. I’ve already seen the other movies, even if I’ve only done a review of one of the Hobbit ones and can’t bring myself to watch the original trilogy after a extended cut marathon that has left me unable to ever proceed past a scene of Treebeard speaking without going unconscious - but either way thought it proper time for me to get to the animated one. I mean, it’s a no brainer on paper - I like anime, I like animation, I like fantasy, so i should like this. Let’s go a head with this mouthful as we check out The War of the Rohirrim.

When a sequel comes out and you think “ I should watch that” and realize you didn’t do the first movie. It’s a tale as old as time, and usually it doesn’t stop me - but then I think “but how does a sequel come from that first one, did I forget something?:” Well, heck with it we’ll just go back and do the first movie this week, since in that classic stuck-on-repeat nature of my existence, I would have sword I already did but in fact did not do it on here. Get the tissues ready for the smell of hypernature, Japan may have Godzilla but Norway has a Troll.

It might be a holiday here in the USA, but that doesn’t mean I get to sit around all day and play. Yeah, be thankful I won’t be pulling horrible rhyming schemes like that all review, it’d probably even annoy me! Anyways, I tried to come up with something that I could tie into either Thanksgiving or the release of the new season of Stranger Things, but after some looking around and thinking I decided to go with something from the backlog and see how it pans out. I remember seeing the trailer for it and thinking it could be a real interesting idea, but I suppose only time will tell. Water levels are rising, but tonight we just go with the Flow.

Time for one from the back log. It’s been sitting there for a while. Honestly, it’s been sitting there for too long, and now that it’s on a service I don’t have to pay individually for the movie there’s no better time than now to get it before it disappears back into the pay-to-watch land. I’ve been told a lot of things about it -primarily to be ready to be confused. Now, I’ve seen some stuff, so let’s see just how bad it can really be. It’ll open doors good and bad, so you best remember it for later, tonight is Tenet.

Fun fact, but I’m writing this up on a Wednesday instead of my normal Thursday. Why am I doing this? Because my normal night might end up being busy and I’d rather have something ready early then skipping it or getting it done late. Anyways, I had to decide on something to watch with no real plan or anything outside of being kind of tired from all this dang cold, so I thought we’d just hit a movie that i saw once already and was pretty fun - although I guess you’ll need to wrestle with waiting until the end to see if I thought it was good and fun. This time around, the babysitter fights back - tonight, we are Here for Blood.

A new Predator movie comes out this weekend, and I’m excited about it. Unfortunately for my review life, I already have done all those movies - including the crossovers with Alien. Including the newest animated one. Heck, I even did that Mortal Kombat meets Predator with Nic Cage in it, so what I’m saying is I kinda don’t have a whole lot left that i can really directly tie into my excitement for that movie, so I instead opted for soldiers versus aliens, which is going to just have to be close enough alright? Trip down to Cali where the surf just brought in a tied of extraterrestrial foes - this is Battle: Los Angeles.

Well, it’s the last Thursday of October, so it’s the last real easy excuse I have to keep the trend going. I mean, in fairness I am my own dude and could just keep watching them straight through just for the sake of doing it here. I wouldn’t be opposed to finishing out the chain - I just loose a little bit of the sound logic of doing it as a seasonal thing instead of continuing along the backlog of movies that I still haven’t watched yet. I guess we’ll have to see what comes, much like tonight’s little dream child. Make your baby strollers as metal as you can, the sweater is back in A Nightmare on Elm Street 5.

Continuing the October of your nightmares, we move right on to the fourth entry this week. Is it good? Is it bad? Well, we officially hit the part of the franchise that is effectively a void in my memory - I might remember little tiny snippets or scenes, but until we get to New Nightmare - which we won’t this month - I can’t really say a remember a substantial amount about this and our next one. That just means it’s fun for both of us, as I go in largely like it’s a new movie! Well, a new old movie, considering it’s almost as old as me still. Either way, strap on your claws and get out your sweaters, it’s time to meet the Dream Master in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4.

We continue our adventure through the sordid history of one Elm Street yet again this week. If you haven’t figured out that I will without remorse use October as an excuse for this kind of movie behavior, then you must be lucky or un-blessed enough to not know me well enough. This one doesn’t really have anything to do with the last one though, so you can largely kind of forget that one for this one - but this one is technically release 3 so you should probably know release 1 in order to really get the most mileage right? Or perhaps it’s only a spiritual successor? Either way, it’s time we find our franchise footing, as tonight we meet the Dream Warriors in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3.

I could cherry pick through dozens of movies that still exist in the backlog, or the droves of new movies out that haven’t made it to the backlog yet - or I could take the easy way out. Obviously, I’m doing that because it requires no thinking on my part as long as the movie is available - which it was. Perhaps it’s the month of your dreams, or maybe the Thursdays of your nightmares as this year is cranking up to be a one after the other progression that would oddly work really well thematically. Anyways, beware the house with the bars on the windows, tonight is A Nightmare on Elm Street 2.

There will never be a time I think when I don’t look into what movie to watch and realize I haven’t done one that seems obvious and I would have thought I already did. Combine that with the fact that it’s finally at long last October, potentially the best month of the year, and we already got an idea where this is going. When the leaves start dying, the excuses for the onslaught of horror movies rise from their graves and ya’ll get to either pump your fists in the air or collectively face palm depending on your tolerance of “scary movies.” Well, hopefully tonight’s flick aged self won’t give you too many bad dreams, tonight it’s A Nightmare on Elm Street.

True talk, I actually watched this movie what feels like forever ago now. Part of that forever is just because my sense of time blows, and couple it with a bad memory and who knows when something took place really - but I can guarantee that at the time of writing this it was no more than three years given it came out in 2023. Anyways, I had fun with it then, so thought it would be a good time to spread the fun to whatever friends showed up for the weekly. I hope you don’t mind a spit of violence and revenge because tonight Boy Kills World.

Back to action this week. Every time my one cousin shows up for movie night, i throw a Michael Jai White movie at him since I know he loves his movies. This night is no different from this. So what do I have for you? Action. Comedy. Perhaps even some romance? Strap in folks, this is a Hostile Takeover.

Science fiction is tonight’s name of the game. Space, future, technology, and oddly enough a lot of the same old problems. This one isn’t really getting super crazy well scored places, and I thing I might have a sneaking suspicion as to part of why that might be. Anyways, I’m geared up for cleaning out more of the backlog, and what better time then when a movie goes onto a service where I don’t need to rent or buy it? Read your contracts, tonight we look at Mickey 17.

The backlog won’t clear itself, so I’m working my way through some while inevitably adding more to it as well. I figure it’s been long enough since i did a horror movie - even though I guess you could say the science fiction one from last week had some horror elements in it - so it’s time of the old palette cleanser. Don’t worry, everything about the trailer tells me this one should be more of a funny homage to slashers past, so it’ll probably have something to it more than just a body count. Not that a body count is bad in a movie by any means. Anyways, to use their own tag line for the segue - pack your body bags, it’s going to be one Hell of a Summer.

Tonight’s movie is hitting up some science fiction, and I always like me some space action. Props department and effects department are some of my favorite things - if in part because it’s so visual and easily identifiable as imaginative without me needing to have some crazy understanding of it like music, poetry, or body language can be. Now, going off the trailer I admit I don’t have the highest of expectations going in - but that’s usually nothing but a recipe for success when it comes to watching a movie. Get your battle buddies together and prepare to compare it to other great movies you like, tonight we check out Osiris.

Making things easy tonight, one of the video compadres requested a movie tonight. Why did he choose it or where did the urge to watch it come from? I don’t ask questions when I don’t need answers - but he did assure me that this time he screened a review to at least not end up getting labeled “the guy that keeps picking the movies that he thought was harmless but had secret racism” to them. Nobody wants to be that guy. So anyways, tonight it’s a couple of nerds watching a nerd-movie about as old as I am about nerdy stuff. What nerdy stuff? Well, it ain’t no pinball, but let’s just say this kid is The Wizard.
