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.

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?
Welcome back to this weeks episode as slightly younger than me anime, where we go back to the time just past the dinosaurs when we had colors and animation in the same spot. Eighties anime was a thing, and let me say that it won’t be for everyone after folks have gotten “the good stuff” from modern times. If you got lucky enough to experience a still picture with seizure inducing sharp-cut lines in the background over extend talk sections to cut the budget, you already know what I’m talking about - still, everything needs to start somewhere. Tonight’s entry started a lot more still with an artist over in Japan with a very recognizable style if you know, and between then and now has gotten multiple whacks at cinema in various forms of animation and has inspired a whole lot in the lines of one of my person interests - mecha. Oh yeah, big old stompy bots are back baby, tonight we watch Appleseed.

I had in mind another movie for tonight I thought I had already done. According to the name tags and my spreadsheet I use to keep track of them, the answer to that age old reoccurrence is always the same - no idiot, you have not actually done that one. It’s hard keeping track of what I’ve watched and what I’ve watched for here sometimes, and I can only imagine the absolute chaos it’s gonna cause when my memory gets even worse. Anyways, we got horses, we got horror mystery, and we got a what I think is the third big horror movie directed by Jordan Peele (although to be fair my memory doesn’t really recall if its the second, third, or fourth, so we’ll just go with IMDB’s third full-length directing credit). Secure your animal actors and get ready for what could be the best name semi-spooky movie you’ll ever hear - tonight we watch Nope.

Got an old one for you tonight. Yes, I have a ton of flicks to choose from, including some that are on my list - and some of those I have been kind of waiting to see if they’ll hit the already owned circuits instead of needing to rent it. Anyway, today also happens to coincide with Skulls day - a day for Warhammer folks to find out all sorts of a new games and stuff in the pipes- but I’ve already run out of all their movies (all their new stuff tends to be shows), so I can’t on theme that. Since I can’t on theme that, and I am kind of wanting to catch up on all that news before it’s too late in the night, I thought let’s do something a bit shorter. I hadn’t originally thought forty minutes short, by my buddy never saw toinghts flick that’s slightly younger than me, so that’s what we are going to do. Time to put on you most metallic suit and go for a mouthful of title, tonight is Metal Skin Panic MADOX.

My brain is having a rough day today, so we are going back to some classic action cinema. It’s one I know I’ve watched before, and could have sworn that I in fact would have done a review on, and yet here we are with all my records saying that I did not. Common reoccurrence in these parts really, not that it stops me though. Get your nicest jeans out, it’s time to hang out with some more Chuck - tonight’s it’s time for Invasion U.S.A.

I said it, and you might have thought I was kidding, but tonight we're going to watch the movie that actually came out before the other movie that we watched last week. I know it's a bit of a wild concept and we don't usually do that kind of thing. I have been down to kind of just do a random movie, an entire chain of movies and just never come back to it. Last week's movie was really fun though, and I like having fun, so we're going to check out the one that came before. Will it answer any questions that we might have had leading up into the second movie? Will it have anything different on offer than the second movie? These are all very solid questions that a logical person might have. No matter what questions you might have, there's one that probably isn't a question, and that's I bet the soundtrack is gonna be good. Grab the keys to the van and pack up the instruments, tonight we watch Heavy Trip.

Now I know what you're thinking. He slipped back into his habits of justice, making us have to watch a whole bunch of horror movies, isn't he? Good news for you? No, kind of. At least not this week. See, although there was an option of catching up on a horror movie that's in the backlog this week, there was also about seven other movies that are also in the backlog that I can now get to without having to pay extra. So I did what I usually do and put them to the committee, and the committee said we want to do this one. And by the committee saying we want to do this one, I actually mean we couldn't decide so we had to just random spinner it and the spinner decided for us. But it's OK 'cause it looked good. Do you like metal music? Do you like humor? Do you like humorous references to rock and metal music? Oh man, you're about to go for one heck of a Heavier Trip.

It's time for another creature feature. There's no rhyme. There's no reason, it just is. Although last time we had a movie that had multiple layers to it with all of its characters and its incidental sharking, this time we have a movie about Gators in the Bayou. I probably sound as though I'm lacking a little bit of enthusiasm with this, but that's because I just finished watching it and oh boy am I mad. We'll get into that later, though. For now, you watch a trailer, and a trailer promises you drugged up killer Gators in the Bayou murdering people that happened to be there. What more do you want? What more do you need? That's right, tonight we're going to watch a movie whose title I have already actually said like 7 times. Tonight we watch The Bayou.

Tonight's movie is going to be a little bit different, Not different than what I do a lot of the time, but more different than what we've been on our current streak of. Although we've had quite a few action movies on the docket as of late, a new movie came out that I only heard about a couple of weeks or so before it came out, and it fits my alley of videos that I like to watch. At least videos I like to watch in a given situation. That situation is usually when I'm in a hot tub or any kind of a body of water doing nothing but within range of something I can watch stuff on, like a TV or a computer. It's what I like to call crappy shark movie time. Not all of the movies that I watch with sharks in them are bad, but I will always call them that anyways just because it's a force of habit at this point. I could watch Jaws while I was in a tub and I would still call it crappy shark movie time. Anyways, what's worse than sharks in a tornado? Something more believable? A hurricane that brought sharks. Tonight we check out Thrash.

Tonight is another one on the list I haven’t gotten to yet. The concept sold me on the movie more than anything else, and to be fair in setting expectations, mine were pretty low for this movie going in. i'm also suffering a bit of arm pain so we're going to try something new tonight and try some voice dictation software to see if the review can be typed out by voice instead of my usual hand typing. In turn, I do apologize if anything is, you know, a little wonky, but I can always try and go through and touch things up afterwards as I reread it. I just would like to, you know, help myself out a little bit. It's almost the opposite of what we're watching tonight. But hey, with all this advanced technology, let's go ahead and start ourselves a nice watch of Primitive War.

Action is back on the menu thanks to an article that mentioned tonight’s was available on a streaming service i tangentially have access to. I love clearing the backlog when the backlog doesn’t end up costing me extra to clear! It’s also a bit of an experimental movie - one to see if a movie without the main character can still be a good movie in a franchise. Yeah, tutus to .22s, the sky’s the limit with a mountain of brass. Tonight we are going to check out Ballerina.

There’s not a ton of times when I’ve really picked a movie because of specific events during the course of me doing these reviews - heck, even when I felt bad about calling them reviews since I don’t really feel like I’m doing a professional enough job. Nowadays I’m just too lazy to care and call them what they are, but even though we’ve lost countless actors to the inevitable march of time through my movie-watching life span, there is one that make me feel obligated to go back and have some nostalgia for with the bad news. Chuck Norris was one of my favorites growing up - sure, he was super cool and did martial arts which any young Power Rangers loving kid would think was awesome, but he also looked a lot like my dad to me so there was that added level of mental coolness. With all of that, I knew I had to come back and do one of his movies this week - narrowing it down theoretically should have been a hard one, since he’s had an absolute ton of fun movies, but there’s one that I had in mind that I was pretty sure I hadn’t already touched here. It has adventure. It has whimsey. It has jump kicks and swagger - tonight we go back for the Firewalker.

Tackling more of the backlog today - I love it when stuff I’ve been waiting to watch comes on a service I’m already paying for. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love owning things - physical or otherwise - but free is the key to happiness on a budget. The trailer made this look like a hoot, and I’m positive I have seen worse Cage movies than however this one could turn out, and on top of that I’ve done to action movies - one of which with a little bit of horror thriller edge to it - back to back, so it’s only fair I give everyone a little bit of levity right? Get ready for an absolutely mouthful of movie title as we watch The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.

One good action movie deserves another, and currently tonight’s movie is tearing up the most watched charts in the old Netflix watering hole. Don’t get me wrong, it does sometimes feel like any movie does that as long as it’s freshly added to the service, probably on account of all the other movies getting hidden behind the same thirty recommendations it usually throws at you - but I enjoy me some scifi military mashups, so either way I should have fun. Get ready for trauma introspection and a whole lot of explosions - tonight we watch War Machine.

We’ve put it off long enough. The first one was a great action alterative to all the super-real spat of movies that came out after the Wick movies showed folks just how cool that could be. A man made invincible by rage, pushed over the line but everyone’s favorite villains the Nazis, and so many moments that came out of left field it couldn’t be un-entertaining if it tried (unless you really aren’t cool with violence). So of course, when I heard there was a sequel, I bought it day one it came out on streaming - and then promptly threw it on the back-burner while i waited to see if i could get the full force of pals together to watch it just as everyone got busy with work and life in general. Well tonight that wait is over, tonight we hit the Road to Revenge.

Time for some old stupid fun. Well, I mean, there’s some assumptions being made. One of which is both funny to me and ageist- in that a lot of the cast still has the old action heroes I used to watch a long while ago. The other part - stupid fun - is really me just basing the enjoyability factor of the last 3 of these movies I watched and averaging it out to a good time. Let’s be real here - with a tagline like “They’ll die when they’re dead” - I’ve already gotten a chuckle and an expectation that this one isn’t going to think too hard, so grab your skull ring and polish off the one liners, tonight is Expendables 4.

Time for another movie I’ve had in my stock for a while and just haven’t gotten to watching it. It’s not exactly the one I had planned for this week, but when folks are away I find alternate play or something like that. All it means is instead of foreign action we’ll get some home-brewed kind of action instead, with some hints of horror/thriller. We watched the original and found it not bad, so surely the second could be pretty rad? What’s better than one robot? Two. Here comes M3GAN 2.0.

It’s my birthday, so I can watch what I want to and nobody can stop me. Up tonight is a random movie I found perusing the new adds to services. Hadn’t planned on it specifically, but when I read the title, saw it wasn’t an Asylum picture, and saw some of the trailer in the background I was hooked. Not like - oh yeah, this is going to be the best movie of the year kind of hooked, but “I’m gonna watch this because I’m probably going to have fun and it won’t overstay it’s welcome” kind of fun. So here we are, covered in ecto-goo and wondering how many friends i could convince to make a movie if I ever wanted to - tonight we punch ghosts with the Ghost Punchers.

We are going back a ways tonight. I remember watching this show way back when it first ran on Cartoon Network way way back in the year of 2000. Then they put on this bad boy - which I distinctly feel like I remember being a movie version - about a year later. Fast forward to now, I’ve just finished re-watching the show with a pal of mine, and for tonight’s movie we found a copy to watch. Get in touch with your inner giant robot piloting teenager, tonight we are going to watch Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz.

Brand new super-hot release right now, like fresh fresh off the press! I mean, technically I think it might have come out yesterday, but I was gonna wait until movie night to watch it anyways, so tonight’s the night! We’ll double down on this one two - as it’s an Amazon original, and it appears that Squarespace has sunset the Amazon block - that little retail link at the end of my reviews I could attach to an associates ID and make a kick back whenever someone bought stuff using the link that in fact never ever really got used so instead I keep just paying for the site out of pocket as another one of my hobbies to assault my wallet. Anyways, there’s different assaulting going on in this movie, against bad guys and possibly your sense of humor - tonight, we tune in for The Wrecking Crew.
