Frailty
Once again, getting removed from Netflix in September prompted me to bumping this up to the top of my bloated queue. It was a rare flick directed as well as starring the late Bill Paxton with help from fellow Texans … Continue reading
Innerspace: 30 years later
An Eighties spin on the Fantastic Voyage premise with the comedy of Martin Short while he was popular. Hard to believe Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan got together through this, they only share the opening 10 minutes of scene time. I … Continue reading

Dirty Mary Crazy Larry
Caught this before it dropped out of Netflix (I need to seriously trim my queue). I vaguely recall the title when I was a kid too. It’s mostly a Heist/Car Chase movie which was based upon a novel. With how … Continue reading
Death Race 2050: Time Killer
A sequel to Roger Corman’s cult fave Death Race 2000 arrived this year and made it to Netflix right away. It’s definitely a low-budget operation because the only stars in it are Malcolm McDowell as the Chairman of the United Corporations … Continue reading
Sausage Party: Utter waste of time
From the people who gave us the unfunny, profanity-laden Superbad is their attempt at a cartoon ripping off the same plot as Free Birds. The difference would be the dirty jokes that would only amuse middle schoolers. I guess it was funny when Seth Rogen and … Continue reading
The Dwarvenaut
I wanted to watch this since it debuted at SXSW’s film portion last year and Dwarven Forge founder Stefan Pokorny came by Dragon’s Lair to show off what would be in his current Kickstarter. The movie covers Pokorny’s background, upbringing … Continue reading
Black Sunday
I have been saving this movie for when the Super Bowl comes around because the plot is hinged on the big game. Somehow, I’ve missed the deadline three years running thanks to illness or other emergencies. It isn’t on Netflix lately … Continue reading
For the Love of Spock
Adam Nimoy’s loving tribute to his father was thankfully on Netflix since I don’t think this was distributed through any theaters in my area. The documentary covers the life and career of Leonard Nimoy with a big portion dedicated to … Continue reading
Uncle Nick is an acquired taste and my new tradition
Another movie which may or may not have blown through theaters last year but I knew about it courtesy of Posehn’s now gone podcast Nerd Poker. For some, their tradition is Diehard or Gremlins, this one is more my pace. Uncle Nick is about a … Continue reading
High-Rise
I remember seeing the trailer for this and then it never showed up at any theater. When it popped up on Netflix, I pounced on the opportunity to see another JG Ballard story brought to life. His other most famous … Continue reading
Two Justice League videos that sucked stylistically
We’re about a week away from the upcoming Batman v. Superman movie which may either be really awesome or incredibly awful. There’s very little in-between for superhero flicks with the obscene budgets they have. I want it to be good … Continue reading
Sword of Destiny
The “sequel” to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon made its recent debut on Netflix. I know a lot of critics poo poo’d it but I really enjoyed it. Any movie showing Michelle Yeoh kicking ass is a positive thing for me, the … Continue reading
Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is so far my number one pick for the Summer ever since I watched the trailer last Winter. Whether or not I’m right will be disclosed later but overall the Summer 2014 movie season … Continue reading
Immortals
This horrendously awful interpretation or (in Hollywoodspeak) re-imagining of Greek mythology, makes the rebooted Clash of the Titans seem intellectual. The story focuses on the Titans being incarcerated in Mount Tartarus by the Gods and there’s only one thing that can … Continue reading
Jimmy Neutron about 10 years later
We actually saw this in movie theaters and I can’t remember why we went. I think we were bored on a Saturday morning, the Tinsel Town 20 was nearby and we were jonsin’ for the The Fellowship of the Ring … Continue reading
