A Blog about movies, music and pop culture.
So far this year while there have been some trash and some bombs (Sometimes both). But we’ve also had some surprisingly good movies. Honestly it’s a run of quality that I wasn’t expecting to see again. Especially unexpected was many being in the genre of science fiction, which has suffered badly over the last decade. …
Before I move into reviews of 2026 movies, I have one more movie from last year to cover. Bugonia is Yorgos Lathimos sci-fi/black comedy based on the Korean movie “Save the Green Planet!” (2003). Will Tracy provides the screenplay, Robbie Ryan cinematography and Jerskin Fendrix, the music. The movie features a small cast with Emma …
2025 was not a great year for the box office. Falling about in line with the disappointing 2024 box office. Much like previous years a handful of successes propped up a large number of flops. But movie theaters have a lot to worry about, especially with the pending purchase of Warner Brothers by Netflix. This …
Tonight we’re hitting the 50’s. The era that popularized science fiction horror. It paved the way for films like Alien, Terminator, Pitch Black, Event Horizon and even Terrorvision. In most cases these early sci-fi horrors were more firmly science fiction with horror elements where as now it’s more the other way around. This is “The …
Years before Stephen King wrote his movie about an evil car in “Christine”, there was “The Car”. This is a story about an intimidating black car that goes on a psychotic killing spree around a small American town.

While I don’t normally review TV shows, I simply have too much to say about the new Disney Plus Alien franchise show from Noah Hawley, to just let it slide. So this will be a discussion and review of the firsts three episodes. I may do an update after episodes 4-6 have landed. This will …
Today I am reviewing the huge £320m budget “Electric State” movie from the Russo brothers on Netflix. It’s worth noting as these Netflix movies usually go straight to streaming or just have a limited release. That means they don’t need to spend the extra 50% of the production costs for P&A. This may explain why …
“Mickey 17” is the latest movie from writer/director Bong Joon-Ho. It is his first feature as sole writer, though the movie is an adaption of the novel “Mickey 7” by Edward Ashton. According to Ashton the director made a lot of changes to the source material and those changes are not hard to figure out. …
Welcome to part two of my annual wrap up looking at 2024. In this half I will give you the second half of my top ten movies of the year and look at how things have played out in the box office. I’ll also be encouraging you to give a second look at four movies …
So another movie I didn’t intend to write about this year is Francis Ford Coppola’s passion project “Megalopolis”. There was so little interest in this movie that even a 1 in 3 walkout rate barely got the attention of the media and many critics skipped reviewing the film because they really couldn’t figure out what …
