In space, everyone can read your opinions.
Someone’s bound to lose their heart.
It’s the season of lovin, and I’m looking to fall back on old ways. Sure, we’ve done some horror stuff lately with the Scream franchise, but we need to go further down the dark hole of less refinement. It’s a dirty job, full of often goofy things regardless of intent. Tonight, cupid’s calling for a homicide, and you can be My Bloody Valentine.

It’s getting close to the season of loving, and instead of doing something logical like a rom-com or something like that I’m doing what I do best - unrelated fun! Beating out rival choices, and even movies of a very similar design - tonight we head on over to Japan for some filthy western action. Tonight, we get to thank John Wick once again for causing so many fun genre spins as we say hello to Kate.
Read MoreA laugh-out-loud funny spoof!
I’m tapping into some old stuff tonight. I mean, old in a relative sense - this thing came out back when I was in school still, and there was plenty of laughs to be had about it. Tonight, I introduce someone else to it and see how well it holds up in entertainment value. Spoiler: it’s probably not going to hold up the best. Get your ADR ready and open that mouth, tonight is Kung Pow: Enter the Fist.
Read MoreThis is a story of bloodshed, a story of revenge.
As I pondered what to watch for tonight’s movie, I had a momentary stroke of utter genius. My cousin, whose been joining me for these frequent movie viewings as of late and doing a stellar job of picking out some good stuff to watch within the constraints of “I can’t have already done a write up on it” has done other things with me besides just watching movies, the most note-worthy I would think is our playthrough of Resident Evil 6 - a game that has long been on the “I should have played it and never did” list for me. So it went up on sale, and we have had some jolly good co-op times playing it. Of note, it’s interesting in the dynamic of what is probably my favorite character - Leon - having a chapter as well as his favorite - Chris. So, back to the tie in as to what we are watching, I thought I would give him one heck of a what-it-could-be Resident Evil movie by going not to the Anderson series that could care less about it’s source, but instead to the ones right out of Capcom. Tonight, we look at Resident Evil: Vendetta.
Read MoreThis will be my third time watching tonight’s movie. That’s not bad at all considering how it released last year. I feel like stating that is sort of tipping my hand - I mean, how often do you repeat-view something that you hate? Well, Be that as it may, you still probably want to know all the gritty bone-breaking details, so lets get right to fight itme and do your best imitation screams, it’s time for Mortal Kombat.
Read MoreIt’s a brand new year, and a brand new everything - if you are one of those folks that feel like a new number makes things somehow entirely different in the universe for some reason. Here in my world, I like to bring in something I like to start of the year - of course, the non-repeats of the review format really hurts my normal desire - which is usually to rewatch the same movies repeatedly - but the good part is we get to do something new that’s also old to bring in the new year - old Arnold movie I’ve watched numerous times, and yet much like most the movies from last year somehow didn’t already do a review on here at all. Oh well, strap on your love of one-liners and oil up those muscles, tonight we visit Commando.
Read MoreYou know that classic movie setting where you have a professional somebody - killer, assassin, hitman, CIA operative, spy, gun-toting powerhouse - and then a not-killing type professional worker that end up being in a situation? Tonight, we’ve got one of those things tonight - one that’s old enough it uses Jason Statham for all of about ten seconds and then you never see him again. Yeah, roll back the way-when to a time of taxis and criminal intrigue, tonight we go check out Collateral.
Read MoreOver the years it’s been pretty obvious that I’m not a big Christmas movie kind of person. At the very least, my string of “Holiday-adjacent” movies stands out as making that point for me - but I’ve got that secret first-hand knowledge of what I’m thinking so maybe it’s not as externally apparent. There’s something about the particular breed of cheer from holiday-centric movies that just tends to make me loose a bit of interest, but for today’s movie I think we’ll throw down some spirit with a pair of good tidings - one of the greatest action stars of all time and my favorite comedian of all time, teaming up to not team up and make a movie about the Christmas that almost wasn’t. Get your reindeer drunk, tonight we Jingle All the Way.
Read MoreA game I’ve played recently just put out a long awaited story update, and to celebrate I’m dropping into something I have technically watched before, but never really reviewed. I’m also skipping over the first one of them, because technically I like this one more despite Mark Hamill being in the first one. Originally, I honestly felt a lot of the game might have been slightly inspired by it, although in the end it did go a different way and do it’s own things. So today, grab you fancy glasses and grab some popcorn, we are going to check out Guyver: Dark Hero.
Read MoreYou might think this review is an odd choice - but hey, nothing should see odd at this point with the wide breadth of stuff I end up watching. We’ve got some action, we’ve got some babes, we’ve got some young’n Diesel and a soundtrack that you’ll reminisce about if your old enough. I apologize to all the people running we searches now, tonight’s movie is xXx.
Read MoreBy the time this review comes out, I’ll be somewhere else catching a little R and R away from the snow and cold. Considering where this vacation is taking place, I’ve opted to go with a somewhat-fitting movie - less so for anything to do with the movie and more with whose behind it. Might as well leave a little magic behind when visiting the “most magical place on earth” am I right? Tonight, we find out why dragons are all the rage with Raya and the Last Dragon.
Read MoreLet’s get some magic up in this house. I’m taking off or a little break from the state and going somewhere magical, so it only makes sense to prep it with magic that’s more my speed - yeah, that’s right, swords and sorcery style hombre! This is one that I just haven’t gotten around to - maybe it was the advertising, maybe i was just being slow and lazy - never can tell.Tell you what, we’ll fix that right up tonight in a hurry - dust off your old Arthurian books, this time we take a break neck check with King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.
Read MoreSo the new movie buddy had a request for a movie this week - another war one, a bit more serious this time but also a far more impressive story. The fact that it’s based on a true story really helps sell how impressive it is - and of course set in a time of greatness - even if that greatness isn’t all in the good way. Tonight we see the reason behind a man, and the impressive story to go along with what happened up on Hacksaw Ridge.
Read MoreIt’s the day to celebrate all those soldiers who did what they had to do so we can do what we do - and of the lineup that I had, it was decided to spice things up without getting too spicy. Yep, that’s right, I found a movie that could service as commentary, action, spectacle, and do it all whilst serving as a way to salute three separate generations of vets like some sort of perfect storm. Take the old man out to dinner and thank a soldier, tonight we look at The Tomorrow War.
Read MoreEver notice how some of the best video game movies are the ones about video games but not about video games? Yeah, we’ve had some real bang-up entries into the genre with some of the Mortal Kombat movies, and some other ones that are rather hotly debated as to if they are good or not. Well, this time we get a bit more meta and figure out if maybe this time the movie gets it? Is it another movie about hapless nerds destined to be forever-loners? Maybe the nerdy kids having to band together and find their inner greatness? Grab that blue shirt, it’s time to Free Guy.
Read MoreThe final act is here as the end of the month draws near. Alright, it’s not quite the final act they implied when it came out - but money has a way of changing that sort of thing. For our purposes though, then end of October does end my excuse for doing horror movies, and it’s been a fun jaunt revisiting these with someone who hasn’t seen them - and getting some extra thoughts on them from an outside source at the same time. Dust off the ghost face and shine your flair, it’s time for Scream 3.
Read MoreThe phone is ringing off the hook. You might want to check the caller ID before picking it, you never know who it is! I said we would continue and that’s what we are going to do gosh darn it. Most would say sequels are what kills a good horror movie, but in the fields of horror we find thinks frequently returning from the grave - so let’s see if our little ghost faced killer can keep his knife up or not, it’s time for Scream 2.
Read MoreHitting up the classics this time! I originally had the plan to do all of these this October, but kind of went a little off track at first. Back on track now - got a three pack on sale! Yep, that means you can look forward to at least two more Scream movies before we hit the end of the month! Beware the phone call, it might be a killer waiting to make you Scream.
Read MoreI’m easing you into Octo-boo-r nice and easy with a slasher musical. Yeah, that’s right, you heard me - a slasher musical. It’s both parts slasher and musical. You want typical Disney live action if it contained about 80% more blood spray? Better get your rain poncho out of the closet then, you might get splashed! This entry also plays into the ever present fright of memory loss - who ever had “another movie he thought he did but found no trace of doing” on their bingo card better mark that one down, you’d probably be dead if it was a drinking game! Clear those pipes and stick the vibrato, tonight you try and sing your heart out before you get Stage Fright.
Read MoreSo, surprisingly or not I found another movie that I thought I would have done, but in fact through all my checking I have not done. October is around the bend, so I’m still holding off on doing horror this week - but I did find a tale with magic, monsters, and what’s honestly probably a horrible take on another culture that we really didn’t care as much about back in the 80’s because everyone was having too much fun with the beats and the styles. Apologize to your Shirpa friends in advance and get ready for a classic Murphy drive, tonight we rescue The Golden Child.
