Conan the Barbarian (1982), a recap (part 3 of 6)

When we last left our (ahem) heroes, Conan and Subotai had met a new friend, a woman (played by Sandahl Bergman). Whose name is never, ever stated in the movie. She’s Valeria, by the way, and yes, for convenience’s sake…

Psycho (1998)

For quite a while now, many film fans (including myself) have noted the countless remakes/reboots that are coming out of the woodwork. One example of this which certainly gave remakes/reboots a bad name was Gus Van Sant’s follow-up to his…

Hit or Bomb? March 2020 movie predictions

We’re past the dump months of January and February, which means it’s time for studios to roll out their second-tier blockbusters to take advantage of spring break audiences. Here to predict whether some of the biggest March releases will be…

Conan the Barbarian (1982), a recap (part 2 of 6)

When we last left our favorite (and apparently last) Cimmerian, he had gone from boy to man, and from pushing a wheel to dealing death to the roar of the crowd. We open now with him being “taken to the…

Conan the Barbarian (1982), a recap (part 1 of 6)

There are those who trash the United States, but for me I think it’s a wonderful place. Where else can an Austrian body builder become one of the most iconic personalities in the world, having an impressive Hollywood career, marrying…

Titanic (1997)

Over the course of his career, James Cameron has directed a total of 8 feature films thus far. The most successful of these was his last one, Avatar, which was for a time both the most expensive movie ever…

Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019)

The Oscars are almost here again, which is why I’m looking at Quentin Tarantino’s latest opus, which is nominated for a few Academy Awards this year and has already gotten Golden Globes for his screenplay and Brad Pitt’s performance. For…

The Mummy (2017): Universal's Dark Universe begins (and ends)

Obviously, one reason Disney continues to thrive today is because of the crap-loads of cash their films revolving around Marvel superheroes have brought in. While not quite as successful, Warner Brothers has still managed to endure thanks, in part, to…

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: A saga repeated

Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skwalker had a lot to accomplish for one movie: it had to not just wrap up a trilogy, but a saga of three trilogies, and to also find a direction to go in…

All the President's Men vs. The Post

With Donald Trump now officially the third US president to be impeached, here’s a look at two movies that focused on events which came close to making him the fourth. Both of these films involve journalists from the Washington Post…

The Black Hole (1979), a recap (part 5)

Previously: 2019 ended and 2020 started, pretty much on time. Disney+ added the live-action remake of Aladdin, possibly the least necessary film ever made. Oh, you mean in this movie? Captain Holland has concluded that Dr. Reinhardt is probably…

Skywalker Saga movies, ranked (by title)

Originally, the first movie in the Skywalker Saga was just Star Wars, but since each movie in the nine-episode series since Episode V has had its own title (and the original got one after the release of Empire Strikes Back), …

The Black Hole (1979), a recap (part 4)

Previously: The crew of the damaged Palomino met the definitely not crazy commander of the legendarily lost starship Cygnus. He’s got a crew of robots running the place led by the definitely not robot murderer of the original human crew,…

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019): a spoiler-filled review

For many, the big moment is here. The final story of the Skywalker saga officially hits theaters this weekend. But I for one wouldn't be surprised if there were more film entries in this series, with or without Skywalkers. After all, Star Wars does have the backing of some studio that uses a mouse as its mascot. But onto the movie itself.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), a recap (part 10 of 10)

Previously: V’Ger threatened to destroy all life on Earth, leading both Kirk and the screenwriters to completely wing it, coming up with a plan on the fly that sees the Enterprise get drawn even deeper into the alien vessel for a personal meeting with V’Ger itself.
