Well I had fun with this space jam. It must be tough for guys like James Cameron, George Lucas, or in this case – director Andrew Stanton, who work years on end to deliver a passion project of theirs, but have so much negative thought put into whether it will succeed or not based on […]

I often get heckled about my love for movies and having not seen some of the films considered essential classics. One such film has always been Platoon. Well things are about to change in my life. No, it’s not that I can’t get enough of Charlie Sheen as of late, but instead I’m actually looking […]
In our previous adventures with our famed guitarista we had several revenge and closure story arcs to abide by. With Once Upon A Time In Mexico we have come full circle. Robert Rodriguez pulled a Sergio Leone. This was to be Rodriguez’s The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Was Robert Rodriguez successful? I suggest […]
After being scolded by movie reviewer Gregg Senko for not checking this one out in the theater, I think this will be a day 1 purchase for me on the Blu-ray format. Lucky for me, May is right around the corner. Lionsgate has announced a May 11th Blu-ray release date for the blood war film, […]

It takes me back to the not so distant days of the 90’s when vampire stories and the occasional production were all the rage. History certainly does repeat itself.
