Indie Movie Review – Alien Addiction (2020)
So here we have a debut feature from director Shae Sterling. I say debut, but he’s been around for decades and has 125 music videos to his name… this just happens to be his first feature length film. Not content with directing, he’s also written, produced, edited, and been the cinematographer on Alien Addiction. But…

Classic Movie Review — Austin Powers 2: The Spy Who Shagged Me
Mike Myers has the best chemistry with himself. This carries through the Austin Powers trilogy, where in each film he plays more versions of himself than before. NOTE: All Classic Movie Reviews have spoilers. The Spy Who Shagged Me used to be my favorite Austin Powers film, but now it’s kind of offensive Unfortunately, The…

Classic Movie Review – Austin Powers and should you watch it with your kids?
The first is the best film in the Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery James Bond spoof threquel. I’m pleased to see the simplest, most original tale stuck the landing best.

Star Wars Mockumentary Movie Review – Return of the Ewok
I’ll start this mini-review saying Return of the Ewok is quite sweet, if you can get your hands on a copy — even the bad one currently up on YouTube. This fun little 25-minute mockumentary features Warwick Davis as himself and Wicket the Ewok (inserted Forrest Gump-like) into various scenes of Return of the Jedi.…

Movie Review – Reality Queen
—
Reality Queen is not the kind of movie I normally watch. I don’t keep up with Kardashians, and people like Paris don’t entice me. But…I admit a sneaking curiosity to the idea of this weird popularity contest. Why do fans follow these awful people on social media? Do we all secretly want to be entitled…

Rewatch Movie Review – The Princess Bride (plus the top quotable quotes)
I know every quote in The Princess Bride. Many old geeks like me do. I can’t count how many times I’ve seen this classic spoof fantasy. I introduced it to my mother tonight.

Two Must See Science Fiction Spoof Film Documentaries (plus: the most ‘inconceivable’ parody of a spoof)
