Movie Rewatch: Austin Powers 3 – Goldmember
Just as it took less than a hundred years to go from the first powered flight to flying being an everyday method of commuting like the bus or a train, I wonder if we’ll ever see the day when time travel goes from being the latest technological miracle to something we use to fix trivial…

Exclusive Interview with Actor Heath C. Heine — Star of Monster Force Zero & Jurassic Thunder
This versatile actor is worth hunting down: we’ll see more of Heath Heine soon. In Jurassic Thunder alone he has three roles (one of which is a certain orange President), and in Monster Force Zero he’s clearly channeling Biff (Back to the Future. Duh. Hello, McFly!) We were honored to have a little chat with…

Indie Documentary Review – J.R. ‘Bob’ Dobbs and the Church of the SubGenius
First glance at J.R. ‘Bob’ Dobbs and the Church of the SubGenius and I thought I was in for a satirical comedy at the expense of the multifarious religious groups that proliferate in the USA. Then I thought it was going to be a documentary about one of those weird denominations and its congregation. Turns out that J.R.…

Indie Movie Review – Jurassic Thunder
Fancy something totally bizarre and ludicrous? Jurassic Thunder is your baby! So you have a secret base with weaponized dinosaurs… I’ll just let that sink in for a second. As if dinosaurs weren’t scary enough, imagine a T-Rex with a huge gun strapped to its head. Then, they are your last line of defense and…

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. NOTE: All Classic Movie Reviews have spoilers. I’d have been happy to keep Vanessa as a “married” Bond girl in the next movies, but…

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. She enjoyed seeing all the well-known actors in their younger days, especially Fred Savage, who is so young here it hurts. And…

Two Must See Science Fiction Spoof Film Documentaries (plus: the most ‘inconceivable’ parody of a spoof)
It’s hard to make a decent movie spoof for a beloved franchise, and being in the science fiction genre doesn’t make things any easier. The producers have to sell a fresh plot, quality special effects, and sparkling humor, while somehow keeping the fan base happy. You have to honor — while riffing– the base material.…

Chewbacca Sings Silent Night (and it actually works)
Sometimes I just can’t help myself, and watch all kinds of dorky Star Wars fun from the endless free entertainment provided by the internet. And no, I don’t mean the abysmally received Star Wars Holiday Special. (Although you can find THAT on the internet too, if you have 98 minutes to kill watching something that…

We have a twofer review for you for Game Night! RunPee Jilly has her review first, and RunPee Niece has her review below. Enjoy! Game Night took a satirish version of the caper standby and presented something really different. The comedic ensemble lent a sense of stylish fun to the proceedings, and nothing was as…
