The problem with The 4:30 Movie is it’s too busy winking at itself with an overload of The Chris Farley Show‘s “Hey, remember when…” pop culture nostalgia as well as a foolish mockery of things to come. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It might seem funny for people in 1986 to say a Batman movie would neverContinue reading “‘The 4:30 Movie’ Is Just A 99 Cent Bargain Bin Flick”

‘Novocaine’ Is High Octane Action
Novacaine is one of those movies in the vein of Boss Level, Crank and Edge of Tomorrow where the protagonist is played by one of those actors who has their own fare share of critics that seeing them go through so many brutal hurdles makes the movie enjoyable. Maybe it’s the fact that Jack QuaidContinue reading “‘Novocaine’ Is High Octane Action”
‘Mitchell’ Mockery On ‘MST3K’ Great Moment Of Joe Don Baker’s Career
“You guys watch Joe Don Baker movies?” That was the line from Mystery Science Theater 3000‘s episode which featured Baker’s 1975 movie Mitchell. The movie seemed like a low-budget Dirty Harry flick in which Baker plays the titular character along with an impressive cast that includes Martin Balsam, Linda Evans, John Saxon and Merlin OlsenContinue reading “‘Mitchell’ Mockery On ‘MST3K’ Great Moment Of Joe Don Baker’s Career”
A Mean Green Mother This Weekend With ‘Little Shop Of Horrors’
For our senior musical play, we did Little Shop of Horrors. And like the 1986 film adaptation, it suffered its own set of problems. Some of the seniors were upset because it only had a few woman roles but that was changed. It’s not like all the girls I went to school with were JulliardContinue reading “A Mean Green Mother This Weekend With ‘Little Shop Of Horrors’”
‘Revenge Of The Sith’ Ends Prequel Trilogy On Bittersweet, Brilliant Note
The irony of Star Wars fans hating the prequels 20-25 years ago is they must’ve known things were going to go from good to bad in the plots and events. The problem with The Phantom Menace is that while it’s the first of the Skywalker Saga, it shows all the crazy bureaucratic and political eventsContinue reading “‘Revenge Of The Sith’ Ends Prequel Trilogy On Bittersweet, Brilliant Note”
Revenge Of The Fifth Not Felt On ‘Star Wars’ Alums In Recent Flicks
The Star Wars movies seem to be curse that some of the main casts become typecast or never are able to achieve the same success. Granted Harrison Ford got a nice boost by being cast in Raiders of the Lost Ark. But Mark Hamill had a boosting career in the late 1970s and early 1980sContinue reading “Revenge Of The Fifth Not Felt On ‘Star Wars’ Alums In Recent Flicks”
‘The Force Awakens’ Is A Farce
I might be the only one who really likes The Last Jedi, mainly because it tried to take the saga in a new direction. And I don’t cream in my pants about Rogue One or Andor. But I really don’t care much about The Force Awakens, the seventh episode in the Star Wars saga thatContinue reading “‘The Force Awakens’ Is A Farce”
A QV For ‘Frankenhooker’
In April, Katy Perry went from just being an entertainer to being a punchline following her “flight” in that Blue Origin space penis. Rather than just move away from the spotlight and let things die off, she ended up going on tour looking like Frankenhooker meets the drunk girl at a bar/party that everyone wantsContinue reading “A QV For ‘Frankenhooker’”
‘Kiss Kiss Bang Bang’ The Movie You Need To See To Believe
The one thing you can always say about a movie written by Shane Black is that he knows how to make an outrageous story believable and fun to watch. His friend and sometimes collaborator Fred Dekker said the Transylvania castle opening of The Monster Squad was written by Black as a full-blown siege with Dr.Continue reading “‘Kiss Kiss Bang Bang’ The Movie You Need To See To Believe”
‘Killer’s Game’ Is A Cheat
A movie like The Killer’s Game seems too be like someone took elements of movies like John Woo’s The Killer, the John Wick movies, and Boss Level and decided to make your standard one-hour and 45-minute action comedy. It’s one of those movies that seems to exist in a world where hired hitmen get paidContinue reading “‘Killer’s Game’ Is A Cheat”
