A collection of reviews from multiple parties, along with some extra audio fun.

Jaws (1975)

June 10, 2021  /  Ken Rupracht

Summer is here, and the heat’s come with it. It’s a bit early to be the 36 year anniversary mark, but I got to thinking about swimming pools the other day. Ask someone from my generation about swimming pools, and they’ll tell you about pools aren’t safe from impossibly large sharks. That’s right, another “how has he not done this” review, one that nobody even needs to read or hear because I don’t think there’s a person whose not seen it or heard of it. There’s blood in the water so you better scream shark! Tonight we look at Jaws.

Jumanji: The Next Level (2019)

June 03, 2021  /  Ken Rupracht

Many across the lands are celebrating as they get closer and closer to a return to normalcy after their routines were abruptly changed by a sudden pandemic. It’s a happy time for most - and yet here I am, trying to summon forth the ability to continue working via remote at my job to save money by rolling the dice - or rather plugging in the game. We were here once, it’s time to go back. Doesn’t matter if we end up the fat guy, the short guy, the karate gal or the one who smoulders - tonight drop-in co-op is back on the menu. Tonight, we’re player number one in Jumanji: The Next Level.

Stargate (1994)

May 27, 2021  /  Ken Rupracht

With all the stars in space, one could really wonder what’s out there when there’s so much possibility in even our small little community of constellations. Travel through space has been a bit of a restrictive element though - between travel speeds, building costs, and just general human knowledge - so you can’t help but have imaginations run wild with what-ifs and how-abouts. What if teleportation was a thing? What if you could hop on some galactic light-way that would zip you about faster than light? What if you could just transfer your mind from one shell to another? If such technology did exist, who would make or how did they do it? Well, in tonight’s example, we delve a bit into some ancient aliens - tonight, we slip through the Stargate.

Bubba the Redneck Werewolf (2014)

May 20, 2021  /  Ken Rupracht

Do you like comic book movies? Do you like horror elements and comedy running into each other? Are you into really hairy dudes? Well, it’s time to test how well you can keep your getting offended in check, as tonight we found ourselves quite the little gem. Now, I’m not saying this movie is super offensive - but I would put money down on the fact that someone somewhere will get offended by it. It probably won’t be the rednecks - they’ll be too busy laughing about it. Enough prattling, grab a bear and your man’s best friend, it’s time to check out Bubba the Redneck Werewolf.

The Era of Vampires (2003)

May 13, 2021  /  Ken Rupracht

The Era of Vampires - or Tsui Hark's Vampire Hunters as it is also known - is tonight’s plate of cinematic entree. A new seasons of Castlevania drops today, so I thought it might be a good way to get that vampire-desiring heart pumping for vampire-hunting related content. It’s also something that’s been sitting on my to watch list for a hot minute, and I figured it would be good to get around to it before it wasn’t available without needing to be payed for. Mixing that old-school Chinese martial arts movie with the horror of vampires could make for an interesting main course, so check your romanticized image of sparkly toothy boys at the door and plug in for a different breed.

Kill Chain (2019)

May 06, 2021  /  Ken Rupracht

Saw another Nic Cage movie today. Figured hey, why not? Surely, with a name like Kill Chain it would have plenty of action in it, and I feel like some good action that I haven’t already done and is readily accessible without needing to drop a bunch of money for it. Now, let’s be honest - it’s a Nic Cage movie. He’s been in some good stuff, but just as many if not more not-so-good things. Set out expectations to low and save some budget for a few shootouts, tonight we look at Kill Chain.

Child's Play (2019)

April 29, 2021  /  Ken Rupracht

I do a lot of remakes. It’s not really a revelation or anything, and I’m sure I do them for similar reasons to a lot of people that go and watch remakes - they are interested in seeing what’s all different. Is it better? Will nostalgia have to carry it? Did they make any sensible changes to update it to the modern time? Is it just an easy cash grab that’s going to be horrible in every way? Sometimes you it should be so easy to make a decent modern adaptation that you could consider it Child’s Play.

Tekken (2010)

April 22, 2021  /  Ken Rupracht

MV5BMjE1ODM3MTI5MF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNjc3MDcxNQ@@._V1_UY268_CR4,0,182,268_AL_.jpg

Hey, I found the movie I was going to do last week before getting distracted! Get pumped for a rival franchise movie coming out this week by watching a different fighting game movie! Look, the video game is a weird soap opera of things - and I’ve only played one of the things, so I can’t much speak for it, but I do know one thing it’ll probably deliver on: fights. Pump those muscles and try not to bust a vein from the strain, tonight we jump-kick into Tekken.

Wrath of the Titans (2012)

MV5BMjMyMzk1Nzg3OF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwOTQ2NjcxNw@@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_.jpg

Did you know they made a sequel to the reboot of Clash of the Titans? I didn’t. Well, I tell you what, we’ll do that tonight! Originally I had though I should try and find some Mortal Kombat-adjacent movie to get people hyped for the release of the new one next week, but instead I found a movie about part gods fighting big ole monsters. Close enough right? Harness you Pegasus and polish your armor, tonight I’m watching Wrath of the Titans.

Death Becomes Her (1992)

April 08, 2021  /  Ken Rupracht

I had to get a subscription to HBO max so I could check out the new Godzilla movie without leaving my house, so I’ve been ransacking their stores of movies while the subscription is active. As I scrolled through, I found a movie that I haven’t seen in forever that I remember being fun. I know it had a few effects in there, and to be honest I’m wondering how well they will age. Get ready for a rivalry between two women to get mystical, we are going to look at Death Becomes Her.

Rampage (2018)

MV5BNDA1NjA3ODU3OV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwOTg3MTIwNTM@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_.jpg

Just when you thought it was safe to exist, I pull a fast one on you and find another movie about giant monkeys. Sure, the new Godzilla movie is out - but I can’t do that one, because it’s way too soon to be putting it out there in any sort of detail other than “I like it” - but that’s okay, I found another movie that I thought I did that I hadn’t done that also involves a giant lizard and a giant monkey doing battle for at least a little while. Grab you cups for the Dwayne Johnson drinking game, tonight the city suffers a Rampage.

Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla (2002)

March 25, 2021  /  Ken Rupracht

Well, it’s finally arrived - the end of the Millennium set. Ever hear a statement that’s both true and false? See, technically both Tokyo S.O.S. and Final Wars are after this one and considered part of the set, but there’s already entries for those two on here, so it’s the last one that we need to still look at, but it’s not actually the last of the set. Now that I have your confused attention or maybe I’m just starting to lose you, tonight’s movie contains a giant bio-robot and yet another angry Godzilla. Can the tiny humans finally pull of a W against the force of nature, or is their new toy nothing more than a train to get thrown back down? Check your seat belts, tonight is Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla.

Let me tell you what, this title is a mouthful. Like, holy cow man, the title’s as long as ‘zilla is tall. Makes for some crazy nice box art though! Anyways, we are continuing our Millennium arc today, and of course we have to up the ante by making Godzilla have not one contender but three! Grab your popcorn and get ready for a ride, tonight we check out Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack.

Have you ever wanted to see a man in a monster suit reenact that Nic Cage scene where he’s shouting about bees? Why, do I have a gem of a present for you today! Continuing our trek through the Millennium series we come to an interesting stage where things start to get a little goofy - and yet it still is technically classic horror-scifi to boot. Get out your G-discs and put on your G-helmet, tonight we fly on in to Godzilla vs Megaguirus: The G Annihilation Strategy.

It’s time once again. In what now seems like forever ago, I hit my favorite arc of the classic suit monster series - but I also had the last two to another one of the series and it just doesn’t seem right to leave the rest of that set hanging. Yeah, you could say that I’m filling the time between now and the at the time of writing this upcoming “so many questions after the trailer” Godzilla versus Kong movie - but I do quite enjoy this franchise regardless. Hide your pet lizards so they don’t get ideas, tonight’s we step into the millennium series with Godzilla 2000.

In today’s episode of how have I not already done that, we visit yet another movie I’ve watched numerous times and somehow not put a deal up on this site for. It’s the comedy that ends up being almost more enjoyable then the thing it spoofs - or more enjoyable, depending on how much you like Star Trek. A star studded cast awaits you in space, where aliens roam- tonight we go on a Galaxy Quest.

Monster Hunter (2020)

Guess what dropped on digital finally? I loved the game (especially World), and had some pretty specific expectations when they said a movie was getting made by Paul W. S. Anderson. Look, he’s made some good stuff before - heck, the original Mortal Kombat movie is still one of the best game adaptations around - but lately his stuff has been kind of…well, it’s not great. The trailer does show monsters that look like I recall, and have at least some costumes that look ripped out of the game though, so if nothing else it should be visually pleasing as long as Anderson can keep that ADD in check. Farm that wyvern gem and pet your palico, tonight we watch Monster Hunter.

Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)

There’s a couple of movies I’m interested in coming out relatively soon, but none of them in time for this weeks entry. Given it’s so close to my birthday, I thought I’d treat myself - I won’t lie to you, I’ve already watched this movie before. I’m a fan of the franchise, even if the franchise largely refuses to give me that future that I wanted to see on screen. It’s had its ups, it’s had its downs, and it’s overly concerned about judgement. Tonight, we jump back into Terminator: Dark Fate.

Oh boy, let’s go bring up some laughs! A new Mortal Kombat movie is due out this year, so instead of doing one of the old one’s I found a logically adjacent movie to do this week. Oh yeah, that’s right. Lu Kang faces his biggest challenge yet as he has to watch over one large white ninja on his hijinks filed quest. Tonight, we visit Beverly Hills Ninja.

Yamasong: March of the Hollows (2017)

MV5BMjM0MTEyMjUyOV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMzY1ODE2NTE@._V1_UY268_CR3,0,182,268_AL_.jpg

I’ve found an interesting looking movie for this week. At one point I was watching a show on Netflix that was essentially a fancy Taiwanese puppet show, and the trailer for this reminded me a lot of that. Of course, there’s some complications that arise when something is designed to be a puppet show, and I’ve got those limitations and complexities in mind before going into the movie. What I didn’t realize is that I’m not starting at the beginning - there was a short film that came before this. Well, buckle in and check your strings, tonight we look at Yamasong: March of the Hollows.
