Classic Movie Review – Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey (1991)
—
While Excellent Adventure was indeed splendiferously excellent, Bogus Journey, as it says on the box, is a bit bogus. It’s worth seeing — and seeing again right now — to prep for the new Bill & Ted trilogy capper Bill & Ted: Face the Music. What was Most Excellent As with Bill & Ted’s Excellent…

Scoob! and the Hanna-Barbera Cinematic Universe
Warning: contains spoilers for Scoob! I grew up on the cartoons of Hanna-Barbera. Before they moved them all to Boomerang, the USA Network used to air them on a show called Cartoon Express. Every summer, I went to Kings Island theme park where they had live mascots from the cartoons just like Disney World. The…

Director Paul Verhoeven & the Woeful Reboots of Robocop, Total Recall, and Starship Troopers
What have the following all got in common: Robocop, Total Recall, and Starship Troopers? All three are cracking — if a bit O.T.T. — films by Dutch director Paul Verhoeven. Usually a term like ‘maverick’ is thrown in at some point but, as the only other Dutch director I’m aware of is Jan de Bont,…

There’s an E.T. sequel and it’s awesome
I just finished watching E.T. for basically the first time. I only saw it one time in 1982, and 38 years later didn’t remember anything beyond the “Phone Home” shtick.

Classic Movie Review – The Empire Strikes Back
Our first catch of the day The Empire Strikes Back will be impossible to review. Beloved films are always difficult to do justice to without a lot of hand wringing and mental gymnastics. And for a Star Wars movie at the top of its game (a feat never repeated since), it’s even harder. I mean,…

The Matrix Trilogy After 20 Years – A Retrospective: Different Kind of Hero, New Kind of Science Fiction
The year was 1999 and all any sci-fi fan could think about was: finally, another Star Wars movie. Had Phantom Menace come out in the age of social media it would have been, well, pretty much what we’re seeing with Avengers: Endgame right now. But, I remember reading an article online — I don’t recall…

A Novice Watches Rocky (1976)
I’d never seen the original 1976 Rocky in the past, because it seemed to be a “boxing” movie, and watching people hit each other into a bloody mess has never been my bag. Somewhere along the line I watched Rocky III, which was a decent enough film. It was sad and then triumphant. But I…
