Man, it really pains me to write this review. John Woo is a personal favorite director of mine. Who knows more about action shoot’em ups than Woo? Apparently, Woo has gone the way of Ridley Squat. Whatever they had, is now gone. Or maybe the Hollywood system has to ruin every Woo movie? I’m goingContinue reading “Silent Night 2023”

Happy New Year/ Rest of The Week
Well, we made it. It’s a new year. Yay? Things will continue to be a little slow on the site this week. I am beat from the holidays and Mom’s broken wing.

Thanksgiving 2023
Over Christmas, I finally got the time to settle down and watch a couple of movies that have been on my list. Ever since I saw Eli Roth’s fake trailer that played betwixt Planet Terror and Deathproof during the Grindhouse double-feature, I wanted this movie to be real. Roth made noise over the years thatContinue reading “Thanksgiving 2023”
Not Always “Just A Tool”
The knife above is a relatively plain Swiss Army knife. It is a little over 15 years old and I have carried and used it almost all of that time. It;s nothing rare or worth any money from some kind of collectors standpoint and it is certainly a tool. And it is a very handyContinue reading “Not Always “Just A Tool””
The Rifleman`s Corner; Episode 1: GTE 90 Swiss Army LBE
I ran across this dood on shittube and found it pretty interesting, Maybe so will you. I don’t consider myself fascinated by the Swiss military and its gear but I do have a friend that is. Guy has more K-31s and Alpenflage that a company of Swiss riflemen. His interest in it has always kept me aware ofContinue reading “The Rifleman`s Corner; Episode 1: GTE 90 Swiss Army LBE”

It is a neo-western and action film, starring Chris Pine and Ben Foster. They play Texas brothers who rob banks. Jeff BridgesContinue reading “Hell or High Water”
1, 2, 3, 4, I Declare a Woobie War!
So a few weeks ago I finally got a “woobie hoodie.” Had wanted one for a while but just never pulled the trigger. So I hunted down what I was looking from from the dozen or so makers out there and ended buying 2. One normal and one Frogskin, because I’m a sucker for camoContinue reading “1, 2, 3, 4, I Declare a Woobie War!”
A CHRISTMAS STORY CHRISTMAS Review
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”
