Movie Review – Child’s Play
Child’s Play was creepily funny. There was an even mix of horror and humor which kept the pacing at full force. I’m halfway in love with the movie. I liked how they stayed away from the original’s back story. Here it’s no psychotic killer transferred into the doll through voodoo magic. Instead, they use today’s…

Movie Review – X-Men: Dark Phoenix
The X-Men Universe, produced by 20th Century Fox, had a twenty year run. Now that it’s over, they should be applauded for the influence they’ve had on the superhero movie genre. Fox movie assets are now owned by Disney. That means the X-Men can, at some point, be wrapped into the MCU with the Avengers.…

A Godzilla Newbie Watches King of the Monsters
Having not seen any of the previous Godzilla movies, I’m not sure what I was expecting going in to see this 4th film. I had no notion what was coming, other than ‘large monsters destroying cities’. The beginning of the movie does a fair job filling the viewer in to what’s going on, but there…

Every X-Men Film Explained
Dark Phoenix marks the 12th film in the X-Men franchise. While there is still one more X-Men film in the can, this will be our last journey with this set of characters. Now that Disney owns both Fox and Marvel, they will supposedly reboot the franchise at some point and make it part of the…

All Modern Godzilla Movies, Ranked
I’m not a die-hard Godzilla fan, but I’ve gone on a bit of a giant lizard binge-watch lately. I’m happy to admit Godzilla: King of the Monsters is the best one yet. Not only did the big beasties get plenty of screentime, but the people plots didn’t entirely suck. People and entire cities can be…

Godzilla End Credits Song Remix By Serj Tankian
Blue Oyster Cult is probably most famous for their song Godzilla. It’s a must if you want to set the mood for seeing Godzilla: King of the Monsters. But, better yet, give a listen to the remix by Serj Tankian that plays in the movie as the credits roll. Movie Rewatch – Jurassic Park Movie…

Movie Review – Godzilla: King of the Monsters
Let’s face it, no one watches porn for the plot. Two barely dressed women order pizza and minutes later a buff young man knocks on the door. You know what happens next. Likewise, no one watches mega monster movies expecting Inception level plot twists. We watch to see monsters eff each other up and lay…

Rewatch Review – Godzilla (1998) – More overthinking than this film deserves
I really don’t want to make this a long review, since the movie’s trash and it’s not worth a lot of my day. I say all this in advance and with apologies to Matthew Broderick, who’s a fine actor. Broderick is always adorable, and can normally pull a film out any mire it might be…

Virgin Movie Review – Godzilla (2014) – Not as bad as the last one
Did this movie do Godzilla right? Yes, better than the previous Godzilla. How’s that for a ringing endorsement? (It isn’t.) The 2014 Godzilla HAD to be an improvment over the 1998s Matthew Broderick mess, just to even things out. But I’ll save that for its own review. In case you find the concept of reboots…

The Animated 1978 Godzilla Cartoon – Lyrics & Video
Do you remember the old 1978 Hanna-Barbera TV Godzilla cartoon that used to play during the Saturday morning children’s lineup? What I really remember liking was that it featured Godzilla as a hero. I I like that perspective a lot more than OMG BIG MONSTER MUST DIE. That’s part of the reason I consider the…
