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?
All the gang are off doing other stuff tonight, so I fired up the projector and scrolled through my back log of “watch later” movies, wondering which would be the most fun to throw at it after having not used it for probably well over half a year now. Well, at a sale price of only like 10 dollars, One in particular caught my eye - one that I haven’t really heard anything good about yet, but looked like it could be fun to me on the trailers. Maybe not good - but fun. Since there is no collateral to complain about my choices, I thought it’s the perfect time to go venturing out In The Lost Lands.

From a movie that focuses on murder and takes well into the movie to get to a murder straight into a movie that starts with murder. Tonight Netflix throws a movie that sounds a lot plenty of other action movies where we take a violent sport and one of it’s people and they get involved into stuff that isn’t that sport and possibly even more violent. It doesn’t take much to sound like a good time to me when it comes to action movies, which personally I feel is a superpower that lets me enjoy pretty near any action flick as long as it gives me some sort of action at some point or another - but if we put things like MMA in the description, well now I know we gonna get some punching and crunching. Subtitle if you want, dub it if you don’t - tonight we check out fitting but also super generically named K.O.

Super happy murder mystery time! Okay, well, maybe happy doesn’t go in there when it’s a murder mystery exactly, but I mean it can still be fun and make you happy watching it right? For a movie I’m almost positive I haven’t watched before, this one sure gives out some déja vu - but could it still work for you? Get your train ticket and unlock those mansion doors, it’s time to get your sleuth hat out for you just recieved an Invitation to a Murder.

Action and drama and another movie you would whole heartedly expect to hear “It’s like Die Hard except…” when referencing it. Why? Well, there is a skyscraper, and there is bad guys with guns, so much like every video game system is a “Nintendo”, every skyscraper action flick is a Die hard. This time around though, we get a female lead in the form of that one Jedi lady. Let’s figure out if movies titled after jobs can still be fun, tonight’s flick is Cleaner.

The American adventure of monkey and lizard continues again. Admittedly, I've always preferred lizard to monkey, but they rather quickly became a set deal in the “verse” - as everything franchising has to contain over here – so it appears either we get both or none. Will one get more show time than the other? Will we get more big fights or more humans? Will the humans that are there be fun or a load of monkey poo? Find out by changing a single letter, tonight we watch Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.

Buckle in for another rendition of the Mandela effect, where we all swear I already did this before but somehow there appears to be no proof of it in any of the redundancy logs. The OG trilogy is still there, as is the oldest of the sequel batch and the Solo flick, but this one? Nopers. Well then, since Andor just finished it’s second season run that dumps pretty much literally straight into this movie, I guess we might as well take the time to go back to what might be my favorite of the wars amongst the stars in the live action front and check out the “little known story” or that certain special ragtag team known as Rogue One,

I felt like we needed to peruse the movie store, so i opened up a couple of tabs of different streamers and then just started scrolling tonight. Didn’t take me long in all hoensty - i found one right at the front of the list of “newly added.” Still, for the proper store experience I made sure I went down a few more digital isles just to make sure it’s what I was feeling - and the more I looked the more I said to myself “yeah, yeah I do feel like some horror again.” Not to say I ever really don’t feel like a horror movie - doesn’t even generally have to be good and I’m normally in the mood for it - but it’s been a little while since I know that it’s not the preferred genre of most anyone who watches the weekly flick with me these days. Still, I like my spooky splatters - which isn’t just a nickname to a late night Taco Bell run - so I felt it was time. The help sweeten the deal though, this one even has comedy attached. Everyone loves googly eyes, but tonights romantic victim is none other than Heart Eyes.

New action flick, new excuse to have a good time. Netflix once again provides an easy choice of things for me to watch, because it’s an action flick from the dude that directed The Raid movies. That’s the easiest sell to pretty much any action movie fan that’s seen those - just like when you want someone to watch Dredd and you tell them “it’s like a more sci-fi The Raid. It’s like an easy pass for at least interest in a movie, and obviously it got me in the door - combined with a laundry list of actors whose names I recognize I figure it should be fun. Whatever that turns out to be, I’m sure it’ll be plenty of Havoc.

Time has passed enough, so now we come back to the grand experiment. It occurs to me afterwards that this was perhaps not the best one to do - but at the same time, maybe it ends up being the perfect one because of that? Only time will tell as I get to it in a few, but for now, get ready to see a lot of red as you get your ass to mars, it’s time for the Arnold Total Recall.

Now I know what you are thinking folks - why isn’t he doing the other “get to mars” movie? Well, primarily I wanted to give a little bit of breathing room between the two and a more fight-oriented movie was requested for tonight to go along with the Chinese food dinner that was getting dropped off. Far be it from me to turn down requests from providers of food, so I threw out three options from the back log and “the one with the train” ended up winning out. Get ready for a ride on the murder train, tonight’s flick earns it’s name Kill.

Today begins an experiment, or rather is an excuse for an experiment. The idea of playing with memories is a bit tangential to the overall thought of the experiment, and so tonight’s movie is oddly fitting. I found myself asking a question at one point while watching movies with prequels and remakes, and perhaps through experimentation with a small groups size we can come up with a bit of a working hypothesis. How much are our tastes dependent on which thing - be it original, reboot, or sequel - we see first? Does nostalgia of time play more a role than the actual quality of a movie? Tonight we begin to try and unravel this simple and honestly stupid question, as I try to remember things I forgot. Keep a grasp on reality, tonight we look at the reboot of Total Recall.

I originally watched this forever ago but why not watch it again now? You wouldn’t know that I set it up as a layup from the last movie choice that also happened to have thieves in the title - probably because i didn’t - but if I didn’t tell you that right there you’d probably assume I was some kind of thematical mastermind or something. Although I do enjoy making me a plan, and usually a backup plan when that plan inevitably fails, I can claim nothing but just dumb chance on that, so for tonight’s mouthful of a movie we are going to go and re-watch something I haven’t done on here yet, as well as something that I’ve played and read for some good time. You ready to be all nerdy? Tonight we are watching Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

Time for a sequel episode! We did the original a while back - honestly I forgot about most of the details, but I remember crime drama shenanigans, people being horrible family members, and a long Heat style gunfight chase at the end. It took me part of the way through tonights movie to remember that one character was even in the last movie, which was pretty funny - but with how I constantly forget things, it’ll be pretty amusing to figure out just how much it impacts the overall enjoyment and following of tonight’s flick. Get your sheriff badge out and wonder which side you want to be on, tonight we look at Den of Thieves 2.

I’ve been seeing an absolute ton of headlines just trashing a recent movie lately, so of course I’m automatically interested in it. Since it’s out on Netfilx, it also means there is no barrier to entry for me watching it, since I already have that subscription. Is this thing as bad as it would seem, or is it another case of people experimenting with “negative opinions get more clicks?” I can’t say for sure, because I didn’t click a single one of those headlines - but I sure can check the movie out. Grab your nostalgia pants and plug in your extension cord, tonight we watch The Electric State.

Turn around, see a movie from way back. Yeah, I wrote one sentence with a sing-song thought in mind but it’s over already. Anyways, we going back to a movie that’s probably caused an entire movie some trauma, and yet somehow still ends up feeling remarkably potent in relevance despite it’s age. We got costumes and props and all sorts of kid actors, in a true book of unending potential. Tonight, we pull out The NeverEnding Story.

On today’s episode of “I swear I’ve done this” we feel like we are stuck in an eternal loop of doing the same things while eating a pizza that tastes like a cheeseburger. Tonights movie is one I watched a while ago - and honestly would have sworn I did during my stint of hard-pushing through a lot of found footage movies in search of the good ones. I feel like that seems like an impossible feat for some, but there are some that are legitimate shinning samples of what the genre really could be if a bit of effort was thrown into them. Now, I will state before hand that tonight’s flick is going to require a lot of reading for those who don’t know Norwegian - so if you aren’t in the mood for a little reading, perhaps it’s not the night for you to check it out. For the rest of us however, be rewarded by my Monster Hunter Wilds fueled desire to watch some man versus something real big, tongiht we visit (apparently for it’s first time on here) Troll Hunter.

Brand brand brand new movie today. How new? Just dropped today as far as I know - at least in my region. I was debating what I was gonna do, but this made it easy - an action romp that feels like an anime? Yeah, we’ll postpone all the joke stuff until next week when I’m probably less energetic - tonight we walk into a city of human monsters, tonight we watch Demon City.

I’m exhausted tonight. so I’ve picked a movie that is both low brain power requirements and also set somewhere that looks so much warmer than the crap cold outside. It even ended up starting a franchise - although how good of a thing that is will probably depend on who you ask. The main actor really loved the character if nothing else, so regardless of who else might like it he’s got his own back for sure. Hope you aren’t afraid of the dark, tonight we are watching Pitch Black.

Valentines day is around the corner, and the easy way out for tonight’s review would be to pick some romcom to do. Really, Princess Bride is pretty much hands down the best romance movie around, and we’ve already done that - so instead of sitting myself through something that I, as a horror and action coded dude, would rather not watch I found myself a nice little improvisation. Actually, I found a different one that I had thought about but then found this one as something I didn’t need to spend cash to watch and reoriented to this one instead. We’ve got romance, we’ve got troubles, and we’ve got plenty of action to rock and roll to. It’s some time for spy versus spy, tonight we hit up Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
