Indie Movie Review – The Slayers
The Slayers could have been a lot better than it actually was. There were some good ideas which, I thought, promised a lot but never got fully developed. We start off in a plain room filled with people all dressed in white gowns. At first glance it could be a therapy scene from One Flew Over The…

Movie Review – Greenland (and other disaster films)
Disaster movies are my favorite genre. Don’t get me wrong, they’re not the best movies in the world by far. But damn good entertainment. Considering the genre as a whole, I think Greenland lands comfortably in the top third. Mild spoilers ahead. Dramatic, but not overly so One commonality among many disaster movies is…

Movie Franchise Rewatch – Star Trek IX: Insurrection
Insurrection is one of those movies that you kind of forget about after seeing, which explains my inability to get this review out on time. It’s very…lightweight. To its credit, it feels like a middle of the road Star Trek: The Next Generation episode. I say credit, because a middle of the road TNG ep…

Mortal Kombat… Need I Say More? Wow. I’ve gotta start off saying I thoroughly enjoyed it. The acting may not have been top notch. Cole specifically… But the storyline was decent.

Movie Review – Mortal Kombat
I used to play MK back in the 90s, but haven’t played it since and haven’t kept up with the mythology built around it. My wife has never played the video game and was confused by the plot and asked many questions. I told her she was overthinking it. There’s good guys and bad guys…

Movie Franchise Review – Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
Looking over the entire Star Trek movie franchise, there are good ones, great ones, and outright poor ones. Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country is one of the good ones, and just misses being great. I’d say it falls lower than Wrath of Khan, The Voyage Home, and First Contact, but feels on a part…

Movie Review – Boss Level (2021’s Groundhog Day Loop film)
As the queen of Groundhog Day (GHD) time loop movies, of course I viewed and reviewed Boss Level. It’s only viewable on Hulu. This is too bad, because in a normal (ie, not CoVid year) this would be a crowd-pleasing blockbuster on the big screen. Seriously, Boss Level is a fantastic actioner that’s more comedic…

Indie Movie Review – 86 Melrose Avenue
86 Melrose Avenue starts with a bloody and battered Travis (Dade Elza) staggering down a street while sirens are blaring in the background and red & blue lights are flashing. Desperate for somewhere to hide, he stumbles across one of the few places that are open, the eponymous 86 Melrose Avenue, where he pulls out his gun…
