The Oscars are coming up this weekend and there is a large collection of movies set to be up for awards. The majority of the movies that are up for Best Picture are on the “artsy” side of things versus being box office smashes. That does make some sense since this is art we’re talking […]
Years ago Marvel made the comic book movie the premiere attraction at the theaters. Their main competition at DC comics thought they need to jump on board as well. Since Marvel was a few years into their storylines featuring characters and then putting them all in one big movie DC made a critical error. They […]
Most guys do their best to be romantic. It’s not always easy. Sometimes no matter how hard they try they just can’t get it right. Flowers, special trips, candlelight dinners can all backfire on guys trying to show their gal how special she is. If you struggle with this then maybe you just need to […]
Apparently someone think we did. “Road House” starring Patrick Swayze came out in 1989 with a good amount of hype due to Swayze being a hot commodity in Hollywood. It’s the story of a professional bouncer or “cooler” named Dalton that uses his martial arts skills to help turn around bars that have bad clientele […]

One iconic 80s character is Axel Foley played by Eddie Murphy. He’s a […]
“This is my boom stick!” “Give me some sugar, baby.” “Groovy.” If you or your weird friend that can’t stop talking about horror movies uses these on a regular basis, then you know the “Evil Dead” horror franchise started by director Sam Raimi. I was first exposed to it as a kid at a graduation […]
The horror genre is constantly trying to find new ways to bring folks to the theater. The heyday was in the 80s for sure. It has moments of being on top again with innovative takes like “The Blair Witch Project” or the “Scream” series, but it always seems to trail off again quickly. It is […]
As I’ve said, movies should be viewed in the theater as often as possible. It’s not just the big screen experience but also sharing the event with a group of people. Some movies are just more powerful on the big screen versus your TV. Some are OK to see on your TV because there’ nothing […]
