I have seen this band live twice now and it isn't often I see bands putting in more effort than they do.

THE ROOKIES (2021)

THE ROOKIES (2021) Tagline: No One Escapes The Noise (Action, Humor, Weird Stuff) [PG-13] Note – This movie wasn’t given a rating by the MPAA so I am throwing a PG-13 on here for some moments that were probably a bit too nuts for PG. It’s likely not R though. Also in China, the movie came out in 2019 but wasn't released in the US until April 2021. This movie revolves around a secret agency that fights evil-doers around the globe. Extreme sports lover Zhou Feng (played by Talu Wang who was once in a TV series called “Mysterious Incredible Terminator’) accidentally gets involved in one of their missions just by being arrogant and ends up being recruited to help them finish the mission. Bruce (played by the legendary Milla Jovovich) is the leader of the mission, but Feng has his own ideas and enlists the help of a few crazy friends and even bi-polar Interpol agent Miao Yan (played by Sandrine Pinna). Can they overcome the sinister Iron Fist (played by David Lee McInnis) and his...

ATOM AGE VAMPIRE (1960)

ATOM AGE VAMPIRE (1960) Tagline: You'll gasp with Horror . . . a spine-tingling motion picture only the atom age could produce! (Sci-Fi, Horror, I Know…There’s a Problem with Your Face) [PG] Note: This movie never got an MPAA rating, but it most likely would have been a PG for the subject matter. In other places in the world, the original title which is “The Heir of Satan” in Italian was translated to stuff like “In The Clutches of the Werewolf” and other things. Yes, yes, I know it’s madness, but I am willing to take any risk for her. In this one an adult dancer named Jeanette Moreneau gets her face jacked up in a car accident. Naturally, a mad scientist finds out about it and is determined to fix her face. Because as you know, scientists can’t stand it if your face is all messed up and they weren’t the cause. Of course, it doesn’t take long before the scientist starts to think she is way hotter than his dedicated attractive assistant whose face isn’t messed up. As it turns...

THE MUMMY (2017)

THE MUMMY (2017) Just have to get this off my chest. Do not believe the “bomb” hype surrounding this movie. It hasn’t even dropped on DVD and BLU RAY and it’s already, as of this review $21 MILLION short of PACIFIC RIM’s entire box office haul. PACIFIC RIM is getting (and deservedly) a second installment and there is no reason Universal’s planned “DARK UNIVERSE” shouldn’t be able to come out swinging with their next installment in the series. The movie starts out with a quick accidental discovery of an ancient Egyptian prison. It’s in a giant hole, it’s creepy as all get out and it’s got a giant metaphorical sign on it saying “don’t screw with this”. What does our main character (Tom Cruise) do? If you saw the previews you don’t have to guess. From then on we have a very well-paced, “Ahmanet and her mummies will shrivel your face off” romp of mayhem and desperation. While I am not crazy about Annabelle Wallis (who played Jenny) the films cast is nothing short of st...

SCOOBY-DOO! WHERE ARE YOU : SEASON 1 EPISODE 1 – WHAT A NIGHT FOR A KNIGHT

SCOOBY-DOO! WHERE ARE YOU SEASON 1 EPISODE 1 – WHAT A NIGHT FOR A KNIGHT [Animation, Mystery, Comedy] This was the first official episode of Scooby-Doo! ever made. The start of it all, the crème del-la crème of the Scooby-Doo! legacy and it featured the voice talents of Don Messick as Scooby-Doo, Casey Kasem as Shaggy Rodgers, Nicole Jaffe as Velma Dinkley, Frank Welker as Fred Jones, and Stefanianna Christopherson. The story takes Scoob and the gang to a creepy old museum to investigate an ancient suit of armor called the “Black Knight” that according to legend is said to come to life when the is full. Art-wise – The style in the ’60s, ’70s, and most of the ’80s was pretty simplistic and hand-drawn so flaws are pretty easy to point out. There is one scene where Shaggy falls down and literally looks flatter than humanly possible. The “Black Night” design is fine and serves its purpose. The design of the characters is so iconic at this point that if your characters in w...

WEDNESDAY : SEASON 1 CHAPTER 3 – FRIEND OR WOE

WEDNESDAY SEASON 1 CHAPTER 3 – FRIEND OR WOE In this chapter, Wednesday and the students at Nevermore go to do some work at Pilgrim World for Outreach Day. While there Wednesday does some research into the founder of the town. When she uncovers the truth, she decides to take matters into her own hands at a town celebration. Out of all the episodes in the entire series. This is by a long shot the least inventive and most boring. While it does harken back to some of the ideas we got in GINGER SNAPS BACK: THE BEGINNING, almost to the point where a flashback scene almost looks ripped from that movie. Only we don’t get any werewolves in this episode. That comes later. This episode does give us some background to Wednesday’s ancestor from 400 years earlier, but it didn’t feel necessary to waste a whole chapter on it. My other issue with this chapter is that they take some completely unnecessary potshots at people of faith. I wouldn’t expect Wednesday to believe in heaven or ...
