A Christmas Story is one of my favorite films and in my opinion, the greatest Christmas movie ever made. When TBS starts the 24 hour marathon every Christmas, I park the TV on that channel and watch the movie back to back to back until it ends. I love Ralphie and the Old Man andContinue reading “A CHRISTMAS STORY CHRISTMAS Review”

Godzilla Minus One
I am fresh out of the theater and back home after seeing the newest Godzilla movie and figured thought I had better get my thoughts down while they are still fresh. A “Hot Take” if you will. First off, and bottom line up front, this is a 5 star movie. I have seen, and own,Continue reading “Godzilla Minus One”
The “Literally Me” Genre Of Movies
I couldn’t sleep last night so I did what I always do and decided to watch movies. One of those films was Taxi Driver. I started to recall something about the movie from the writer and so I went on to the YouTubes to see if I could find the interview clip. While looking, IContinue reading “The “Literally Me” Genre Of Movies”
The Killer 2023
This year has felt like another dull uninteresting year for film mostly. We got a lot of the normal goyslop and standard crap but, so far, we have gotten two interesting films, Barbie and now The Killer via Netflix. David Fincher’s latest project features the always-great Michael Fassbender as the titular killer. It is apparentlyContinue reading “The Killer 2023”
Massacre Mafia Style
It’s not very often that you get the privilege of seeing a film that is 100 percent the creator’s vision, without interference from producers or studios. The ones that do slip out are few and far between. These are usually small and independent films. They are passion projects that often take years to complete, justContinue reading “Massacre Mafia Style”
The Wild Bunch
I love a good shoot-out movie. I have always loved them and very few are as iconic and legendary as The Wild Bunch. It was at one time the most graphic and intense shoot-out on screen. It was controversial at the time and a lot of people complained about it as being ultra-violent. The movieContinue reading “The Wild Bunch”
Smell The Napalm: The Story Behind This Incredible Scene
This guy on youtube has been making a video series on the making of Apocalypse Now with background history and details that blows the mind. This is one of his best ones yet. It is worth the watch.
PLANET TERROR
I love Planet Terror. When the Grindhouse double feature came out, I was one of four people in the theater and enjoyed every second of it. Deathproof was pretty good. But, Planet Terror was great. The film is a pure homage to exploitation films done in a very loving way and it was done perfectlyContinue reading “PLANET TERROR”
Best Seller 1987
Best Seller is one of those great neo-noir crime thrillers from the 1980s. It stars Twitter hero James Woods and the always excellent Brian Dennehy co-stars. In Best Seller, Woods plays suave hitman Cleve, while Dennehy plays a cop and true-crime author named Dennis Meechum. The story starts in the early 70s when a teamContinue reading “Best Seller 1987”
The Eiger Sanction
The Eiger Sanction is a movie that I like to tell people is as close as you can get to a live-action version of The Venture Brothers. If that doesn’t sell you on it, then I don’t know why I even bother to talk to you about movies. Made in 1975, The Eiger Sanction is basedContinue reading “The Eiger Sanction”
