    The appeal of family oriented sport movies were a big staple in the 90’s which stemmed back from the origins that The Bad News Bears started in the 70’s. For whatever reason there wasn’t a backlog of ripoffs or knock offs of this product during that era for whatever reason. When the 80’s ushered in it was a time of fantasy films for kids and it was still laid to rest. (more…)

    If you and your friends want to sit down on a boring afternoon and have an endurance test to see who can make it through ‘The Wiz,’ I’ll gladly sit by with a stopwatch and see whose eyes begin to dart off first. (more…)

    Hate to say it, after being such a fan of stop motion/model motion all my life, I’ve come across something that I just couldn’t finish. Maybe you’d consider that cheating and this review not worthy and should be thrown out but after viewing 1 hr. 15 minutes of this 90 minute film…I think its safe to say I’d seen enough. (more…)

     Like most movie genres, comedy for me is becoming…well…stale. What little interest I had in the Comedy Genre Died (R.I.P. 11/5/2010) after seeing ‘Due Date’.The jokes we’ve heard hundreds (literally) of times, unoriginal plot (two people who have nothing in common travel a long distance then randomly become friends at the end), rushed storyline, and hearing Robert Downey Jr drop the F-bomb every 5 minutes didn’t seem to fit.

    Intro
    Lots of good tasting cheese! Corey Feldman is back again with more vampire killing and cheesy one-liners. He teams up again with his fellow “Frog Brother”(who happens to be a bloodsucker) to attempt and take down the Alpha Vamp. The Plot was quite good, but all to familiar. It has become popular to breed an army of vampires in this day and age. But with the Lost Boys style its much more unique. (more…)

    Many film series die off without ever having closure. Series like Halloween, Friday the 13th, etc all seem to never get the proper closure they deserve. They always get the boot for the remake instead. (more…)

  • Possible live Movie Marathon?

    Hey everyone!

    We are currently tinkering with the possibility of having a live movie marathon! We’d pick a film series and we’d have  a marathon. We could all start the film at the same time and show how far along with the film as we watch it and how much time is left before our “break,” is until you pause it.

    Comment and let us know if you’d like to see such a thing!

    Thanks!
