In space, everyone can read your opinions.
How would you know if someone stole your mind?
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.

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’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.
Read MoreThere can be only one.
Many choices are available at all times to watch when it comes to movies. Old ones, new ones, grungy ones, family friendly ones, and ones with and without fart jokes. The variety of options has never in fact been better to date, and until some media armageddon happens which causes the loss of all media, that statement will technically always be true regardless of when it’s read. You could say that statement itself is immortal. Yeah, there’s the segue, for there in fact can only be one - tonight we watch Highlander.

So nice I’ll do it twice! That’s just me energetically saying that I’m doing another movie where I felt like I’ve already done the movie but all proof states otherwise. Originally, I wanted something of a fantasy movie tonight - like a old sword and sandals or something like that. After looking for something that fit the mood and discovering that the modern definition of a “fantasy” movie pertains to everything including Godzilla apparently, I abandoned that idea and went for this one instead. Get ready for a dose of computer aided violent action as the shadows come alive - tonight we watch Ninja Assassin.

I could pick a nice winter themed movie since it’s winter, but instead I picked something with bugs. Why? Honestly, because I watched it forever ago so in theory it makes the review part a lot quicker to do. Well, that and who knows, maybe it’ snot as bad as I remember it being. Everyone remembers the first movie, some of us have read the book and wondered how the two could end up being so functionally different - and a bunch of us must have watched the second movie because they gave us a third - and movie companies don’t do that if they don’t think they’ll make money. Funny part is, you never hear anyone talking about two or three - so heck with it, tonight we jump back into the front and watch Starship Troopers 2.

One might think I’d do a nice family friendly movie today, since it’s literally Thanksgiving and that’s what the modern American rendition of the holiday is about on paper. Most would probably argue that consumerism has got it’s greedy little fingers all up in that and it’s now more just a stop-gap before Black Friday, which has pretty much taken over half the month now anyways. Well, I found something better to make you suffer with that might just cover all of that and some even darker elements like murder. Yeah, tonight we going to get a watching of Thanksgiving done before we head off to our own Thanksgiving.

I sometimes wonder if I dream of the future. The vividness with which I can recall doing a review for a movie - down to the images I choose to use for the screen caps - is bizarre at best considering how averagely worthless my memory proves to be. Well, if my sleeping self can see the future, I’d certianly appreciate some winning lotto numbers so I could come into some good money with minimal effort. Tonight we hop into the car of easy money as well - although it’s only easy if your getaway guy is good. Better watch you watch, whether you are there on time or not this guy is gonna Drive.

On tonight’s edition of “I’m surprised I haven’t done that,” we’ll be hitting up a movie as old as I am with one of my favorite actors in it. Also with a director I really enjoy. Who happens to be a musician I like as well. Yeah, there’s a lot of me liking this - but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be all peachy clean and impressive stands right? Guess you’ll have to read or listen on to find out as tonight we visit what I think is the best thing to start with the words escape from - get your best edgy hero on, tonight it’s time to Escape from New York.
Read MoreTonight’s the perfect night for the right horror movie. Like the planets aligning, it’s a movie night that also is a Halloween night! Well, I already did a bunch of those movies, so it makes it a bit hard to line it up right - but I found a fix. Is it a trick or a treat? Regardless of your costume, tonight we are learning to hate commercials with Halloween 3.
Read MoreThe legend is real. So is the terror.
I haven’t done a found footage flick in a while. I imagine a good chunk is them falling out of fashion again, but also just the innumerable amount of times that I’m let down by potential of what they could be instead of what they end up being. Well then, time to remedy that - in part thanks to a youtube channel I enjoy watching doing a history of the making video on it talking about how it came about being made. Sometimes, the universe just provides stuff for you and yuo don’t have to think - sometimes you should pay more attention where you are driving because it might have dire consequences. Might just run over a sasquatch, as tonight it Exists.

Can’t have a new movie in some of my favorite franchises without putting it on here right! Yep, to complete our Pokemon set, we get to delve into the newest flick that dropped just this week - it’s been a good month for releases between this and the newer Beetlejuice movie, if for nothing else but my nostalgia. We got our laughs out of the way last week, and too much laughing can cause some serious cramps, and that’s a horrific feature of the body. Speaking of body horror, scream all you want in space - it’s time for Alien: Romulus.

It’s the month of spooks! You know what that means? It means I have a free license to force people into watching horror movies with me and they can’t complain! There’s some pretty good flicks coming out this month on digital that I look forward to - not all just child-traumatizing pure horror either, some have comedy in them too! We’ll cross those cursed bridges when we get there though, tonight we get something that’s ultra scary - a remake! As is the way of literary adaptations, one version is never enough and tonight we get to see if any improvements were made - tonight we check out a new take on a Stephen King reading that might suck the blood right out of you - tonight we visit Salem’s Lot.
Read MoreDirty Jobs. Dirty Cops.
Action was requested for tonight, so I ended up finding what feels like the spiritual successor to Heat. For many folks, this will probably sound like a great thing. The other folks probably haven’t heard of it, or are thinking of the unrelated and not as good The Heat Get your cops and robbers costume out and be prepared to play bad cop bad cop, tonight’s we wade into the Den of Thieves.
Read MoreThe future of law enforcement.
Remember that one time I did a whole lot of reboot movies as a temporary review theme? Here’s another one that I never did the original one for despite having watched it numerous times. Yeah, sure, we could be doing literally any movie this week - but I’ve been playing a lot of a certain game that involves big armored dudes killing bad guys with fancy guns, so I feel like it’s pretty fitting on top of that. Get ready for some 80’s ultra-violence that somehow spawned an entire line of toys and cartoons, the police have an upgrade and it’s name is RoboCop.
Read MoreThe government gave him a raw deal. Nobody gives him a raw deal.
Got a movie that I want to watch dropping this month, but it has the audacity to drop on a Friday instead of today when it would line up perfect for a review-watch. Well, that will have to wait for next week so instead I play the game of pulling up a cheese wheel of trialers and making someone else pick which one - and I’m not loosing regardless of what get’s picked. Travel back in your time machines of a video player, tonights about to get a whole lot more muscle-y and action bound. Tonight, someone is about to get a Raw Deal.
Read MoreMaximum Terror. Maximum King.
Just when you thought it was safe, I have a continued streak of bum luck and decide that I have a fever. Everyone knows there’s only one cure for a fever, and that’s cowbell -but I want some movie-equivalent of a cowbell. Well, cows are pretty dumb animals on average with their moments of understanding, but also can be pretty dangerous, and a bell makes noise, so I guess that mean’s I’m forcing everyone to watch a movie about sonic cows. Haha, nah - I’m just kidding. That’s probably a movie that would be held in higher regard then what i’m about to give everyone an excuse to watch (or re-watch) tonight! Put on your Spider-man outfit, get all those cries of Emilioooooo out of your system and try to do less cocaine than the director - tonight we strap in for Maximum Overdrive.
Read MoreTake it outside
Fun times tonight, partying down in the Keys and having a lovely time. Everyone is so chill, everyone is so relaxed. It’s totally not going to be utter chaos and fist brawls. I’m sure nobody will start yelling about how it’s not nearly as good as the original or anything like that, no never! Yeah, if you haven’t figured it out yet, we’ll be hitting a flick that I’ve put off for a while, and this will probably be the only time I don’t say it slathered in Peter Griffin stylings - tonight we check out Road House.
Read MoreOnly a god can kill another god.
I’ve had a week. Hard drive troubles have left me currently devoid of most the software I use for projects, and all the backups of images and audio files I’ve put on this site for the last 8 years. On the one hand, it really lets you reflect on just how long you’ve been doing something when you see how much that is, but then the foot comes up and kicks you in the guts when the possibility of it being gone forever exists. That being the case and left to my own devices to choose a movie tonight, I had thought about going the horror route I’ve visited many a time - some aggravating deplorable human race getting wiped out by what should be seen as a evil entity but instead almost comes off as a hero? Great for bad moods! Instead, I cam across a name that I remember and haven’t seen in a long time - Metalocalypse. We all need a little song in our lives, and sometimes that song is absolutely brutal and dark. Ready your corpse paint and grab a towel, tonight we jam with Metalocalpyse: Army of the Doomstar.
