Review of Predator: Badlands

It is rare that a sci-fi movie surprises me, and even rarer that a Predator flick (after the first one ) does it.  I shouldn’t have been that caught off guard. I really loved Prey, directed by Trachtenberg. His follow-up killer of killers was also pretty good. I just thought it took the lore in … Continue reading Review of Predator: Badlands

Godzilla Minus one and the kaiju as an allegory

(spoilers ahead as discuss themes and resolutions of all the movies) This is a little different than the things I normally cover on the site, but I have been a Godzilla fan from way back.  I remember watching the original 1960’ movies on the late-night show hosted by the Ghoul and the Saturday morning super-host … Continue reading Godzilla Minus one and the kaiju as an allegory

Review of HOLY NIGHT: DEMON HUNTERS

When I checked out the trailer for Holy Night: Demon Hunters, I was immediately smitten. It looked like an action horror movie in the vein of Blade or Vampires$, which is a favorite genre of mine. While it turned out to have a lot more in common with The Exorcist, I was not disappointed. Holy … Continue reading Review of HOLY NIGHT: DEMON HUNTERS

Review of Sergio Dondoli’s Happy Life” Documentary a must-watch for foodies, travelers, and anyone in need of a feel-good escape.

Review of Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Beginner Box. 

I am what some people call old and I have played a lot of TTRPG’s  all the way back to the blue book basic DND set that came with not dice but chits to pull out of a cup instead of rolling to hit.   The game mesmerized and confused the hell out of me, and … Continue reading Review of Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Beginner Box.

The One Ring – Review

I am a long time Lord of the Rings/Hobbit enthusiast, and some might say borderline fanatical. In addition, I have been a D&D player and DM since the early 80’s. So, it would follow that I would love a LOTR RPG. I found and played a LOTR RPG predecessor 20 years or more ago and … Continue reading The One Ring – Review
