Review: The Emoji Movie
What is there to be said about The Emoji Movie? That’s what I have been asking myself for the more than an hour since I sat down to write this review. This empty, mostly competent, 90+ minute ad for smartphone apps doesn’t inspire much to be written about it. Sure, I could rail against the empty, soulless, mercenary nature of what amounts to app product placement the movie, but I have been shouting into that void since the trailer for the film hit and no one seemed to care then. So, let’s just start writing and see what happens.

Samurai Cop Review [Minor Spoilers]
Level of insanity from 1 to 10? This one goes to 11. When you think crazy B action movies, you think of the 80's and 90's, ninjas, big muscles, big guns, ditzy female characters, bad plot, and shoddy technical work. The 1991 film Samurai Cop captures every one of these aspects in spades; whether it's intentional or not is up for debate.

Ninja Terminator the Craziest Movie You've Never Heard Of
There's almost no way to review the movie Ninja Terminator because it makes no F**king sense. There is a reason for that though, and it's because two completely unrelated movies were spliced together and voice dubbed to create the weirdest, worst, yet at times most badass martial arts movies.

Review - David Lynch: The Art Life (2017)
"It makes me uncomfortable to talk about meanings and things. It's better not to know so much about what things mean. Because the meaning, it's a very personal thing, and the meaning for me is different than the meaning for somebody else."

Bloodfist 2050 Review [Spoilers]
If you ever wondered what a Skinemax produced tournament fighter movie would be like, wonder no more. After watching Riki Oh, one of the most over-the-top gorefest martial arts movies I've ever seen( and I've seen Raid 1 and 2), it only seemed fitting to keep diving into the realm of kung fu shlock and to that end we have Bloodfist 2050 also known as Street Fighter 2050.

DC Universe's Supersons – Vol. 1
From the very moment I opened the comic to the first page, I was hooked. Initially, I came across Supersons because of the YouTube channel ComicsExplained. I highly recommend it for any and everyone who's interested in both Marvel and DC universes. That aside, the story of Supersons centers around Damian Wayne and Jonathan Kent, sons of our favorite heroes Batman and Superman.

Top 5 Movie Cowboys
TOP 5 MOVIE COWBOYS (these are all in my opinion) 5) Mr.Gruder from Bone Tomahawk Not many movies feature a Pinkerton as a character. They were known as the badasses of law enforcement back in the day, and John Gruder played by Matthew Fox is a Pinkerton through and through. No nonsense, strategic minded, and cold blooded. The most emotion shown from him is for his horse. Almost every character in Bone Tomahawk is likeable but Gruder's well-mannered ways and smugness are what set him apart from the pack and you begin wondering what western featuring only Gruder would be like. Probably bloody as hell.

Review: The Fifth Element
I love the way Luc Besson views the universe. Besson sees the universe in bright bold colors. It’s the way I would like to view the universe. While my mind is often clouded by the often sad and tragic state of humanity, and especially man’s inhumanity to man, Besson manages to look beyond and see the beauty beyond our planet and into the stars.

La Bamba Turns 30
Somehow, despite having seen the movie La Bamba more than a dozen times in my life, watching the movie on its 30th Anniversary felt brand new. La Bamba was a film of my youth; I was 11 years old when the film hit theaters in 1987. I watched it repeatedly when it was on pay cable and free TV in the later 80’s and 90’s and then the film fell from my memory. You might be wondering how I could have allowed something I must’ve treasured to leave my memories. The answer is more complicated than I had imagined.
