Unless you have been hiding under a rock for a while, then you have no doubt heard of the “Mockbuster” and in case you have in fact been using a hallowed out chunk of granite as your abode, allow me to explain. The “Mockbuster” is basically a B-grade movie that cashes in, by riding the [...]

I re-watched the JJ Abrams Star Trek movie the other day, and it is better the second time around I suppose. I’m not saying that I now find it enjoyable, in fact quite the opposite. I really don’t like it, but at least I don’t despise it. I know, a lot of people love it! [...]
Nancy Grace: The great annoyance

What exactly is “Nancy Grace“? Well, according to Wikipedia, she is an American legal commentator, television host, television journalist and former prosecutor. Journalist? Really? Because I always thought a journalist presented the facts or description of events without an attempt at interpretation? I don’t believe that’s what Nancy does! I think when she comes on the air, [...]

You know what cracks me up? People who see something on TV and think, because the boob-tube told them so, it must be fact. Take for instance those television commercials for World of Warcraft, where they have a celebrity, most notably Mr. T and William Shatner, talking about the game. People see these ads, and [...]

The 80′s provided the world with numberous things. Some of the things that they 1980′s gifted upon the world, was good music, and even better movies. In fact, one of the best movies from the 80′s in my opinion is The Karate Kid. Please be aware, that I am referring to the original, not the horrible [...]

Are you familiar with the term ReBoot in terms of film franchises? Some people might not be, so a quick explanation and examples will be given. A reboot, is when a film franchise either grows stale, or just runs out of material, or just received bad reviews. The idea is, if instead of doing a sequel, [...]

Back in the 80′s they released a movie about teenage time travelers. No, I am not talking about back to the future! I am referring to Bill & Teds Excellent Adventure, which starred Keanu Reeves in one of his earlier roles. Unlike the DeLorean from back to the future, Bill & Ted used a phone booth, kinda [...]
