    Digital Review Aliens Digital UHD Review

    I was not a fan of the Escape From New York UHD as it just felt off. It was a gritty movie that lost something in pristine 4k. So I was very leery about Aliens after reading some of the comments here. But since I already own the Quadrilogy blu Ray and the 4k digital is on sale this week for...

    R.I.P Carl Weathers

    I'm happy he went peacefully in his sleep, but still saddened by the loss. I became a fan because of Rocky and Force 10 From Navarone, but have enjoyed just about everything he was in. And for an action star, I thought he had a great comic presence as Chubbs in Little Nicky. RIP

    2023-2024 NFL Season

    Bosa wouldn’t be a huge loss, he has talent but it only shows up every now and then. He doesn’t seem very motivated. Also hes injury prone. I’d like to see them keep Mack though.

    Wonka (2023)

    For the longest time, Tino, I thought of you as the opposite: there didn't seem to be a movie you didn't like. Until Kong Skull Island. LOL As far as Wonka, the trailer didn't do anything for me. I'll probably watch it eventually once it hits Max or one of the other streamers. Mostly...

    Amazon Prime Reacher (2022) - Season 2

    I also wound up watching all three in one sitting. I thought episode 1 was the weakest. The dialogue felt really clunky, with the first half consisting mostly of Reacher just explaining to the audience the minutiae of details in his observations. I get that's his character, but the series...

    2023-2024 NFL Season

    They have to be tanking. They haven't figured out how to win close games, but they're not nearly as bad as they've looked the last two weeks.

    Netflix Obliterated

    I thought C. Thomas Howell was hilarious in episode 1. "Whose got one thumb and just saved Las Vegas" The rest of the episode was just okay, I don't mind hard R comedy, as long as it's funny. Unfortunately for me, aside from Howell's Haggerty, the outrageousness struck me more as they did it...

    2023-2024 NFL Season

    What's frustrating about Staley is that the Chargers had the most single score losses for years and they struggled defensively. Staley was the Superbowl champion Rams defensive coordinator. And yet here we are. The Chargers lost to Miami by 2, the Titans by 3, the Cowboys by 3, the Lions by 3...

    2023-2024 NFL Season

    You must not be familiar with the Chargers' owner. They haven't had a decent coach since Schottenheimer 18 years ago and Spanos fired him against player wishes after a great couple of seasons because they butted heads. Even if they do fire Staley, I don't think Spanos would be willing to hire...

    General Discussion Digital Movie/TV Deals

    I received an email from Sony today linking to a fanflix FOMO 2 for $5.00 sale. (Not $5 each, actually 2 for $5.00). I chose Uncharted and Zombieland in 4k, but there were a lot of decent titles, especially if you need to catch up.

    I'll be moving to Colorado next May or June and Im learning that I'm going to need to invest in a proper camera and some lenses before I head this way for good. I visited a wolf sanctuary this morning and while my camera takes really nice pictures with the default lens, the digital zoom is...

    38) Werewolf by Night (in color) - :emoji_jack_o_lantern:.5 - When I watched this last year in Black & White I loved it. Compared to Marvel's other TV shows I thought this was a great example of highly stylized, efficient story telling. Maybe too efficient, as there is no subtle layering...

    35) Five Nights at Freddy's (2023) - I can't really rate this because I'm not the intended audience. My son took me and he's been playing all the games for years. He thought it was awesome, and according to him it was full of Easter eggs. It wasn't nearly as bad as I was dreading, but I did...

    ***Official 24th Annual HTF October Scary Movie Challenge 2023***

    I'm almost embarrassed at how little I've watched this year. Haven't even touched the Universal horrors, any of my 3D movies, or perennial favorites like American Werewolf, Army of Darkness, Prince of Darkness, Schlock, Halloween, Suspiria, etc., etc. I had lofty plans but work, school, family...

    27) The Monster Squad (1987) - :emoji_jack_o_lantern: :emoji_jack_o_lantern: - Ive always avoided this movie because it looked like a made for Disney channel preteen cable movie. And aside from a few minor curse words and such my hunch was about right. I decided to watch it because of some...

    ***Official 24th Annual HTF October Scary Movie Challenge 2023***

    That's disappointing. Part of why I want to see it is because it stars Lily Sullivan, who is a frequent guest on the Comedy Bang Bang podcast. I was hoping that meant they brought some wit and glee back to temper the tension and gore. I still plan to watch it, but my expectations have been...

    ***Official 24th Annual HTF October Scary Movie Challenge 2023***

    I love the movie but hadn't considered it for the challenge, but it plays off of War of the Worlds and has some creepy looking alien bad guys, so why not? Good call.

    I watched it for last year's challenge. I liked it fine enough, there was some good critter mayhem. But I agree it wasn't as good as the first two.
