I can’t even remember whether I saw Jumanji at the theaters or on home video, it’s been so long ago. I’ll keep my enthusiasm tempered for this one.

In 100% agreement. I am going to wait for the DVD to come out. Loved the original.

I watched the DVD a few weeks back. Way too much Cruz. Not enough of the Mummy. Cruz’s love interest was unnecessary as was the Jekyl/Hyde character. This was a pure vehicle to promote Cruz over the content of the movie, which was THE MUMMY!!

After Prometheus came out, I savaged the movie for having too many complex ideas, a confused story line and dismal plot and a squid at the end after I waited 30 years. After watching Covenant, which had no story, gratuitous death, disembowelment and dismemberment, I must reevaluate and upgrade Prometheus. I still need…

Very cool FX effects from Rodeo.

Agreed. I love both the 1951 version and the Carpenter version, but I like Carpenter’s version so much better, because it introduces the “fake” organism. Also, the McReady character really ties the whole story together unlike the 1951 version, which was too clean-cut with it’s ending. Carpenter’s ambiguous ending with…

My understanding is that this movie was completed sometime in 2014, but was so bad that they spent another year doing re-shoots. It was supposed to be released earlier this year, but then delayed till the end of the summer. However, the recent spate of “real” natural hurricane disasters delayed it’s release even more.…

I seem to recall seeing a Japanese movie version of “Lone Wolf and Cub” some 35 years ago.

Ummm....I’m not sure what the whole point of this article is supposed to be. I’ve been watching movies and trailer for over 50 years. It’s always a marketing campaign to build up anticipation for the actual theatrical release. Of course, a lot of that is changing with straight to VOD or DVD. I like the fact that I…

I think we’re splitting hairs and missing the bigger picture of the EVs coming of age.

Woohoo. Bring on the giant robots. I prefer these mechas over the Michael Bays’ Transformers. Gypsy Danger, how we all still miss you. I’ll drink to you tonight. Jaeger away....

So, it’s been what, about 34 years or so since this movie was in the theaters. I happened to catch it in movie theater at the University of Maryland on a quiet, boring Saturday night. I must have been in my mid-20s at the time, as big a sci-fi nerd as I am now, rapidly approaching baby-boomer retirement age. For a kid…

Amen.

So, we had Doug Jones as Abe Sapien, a type of fishy humanoid in Hellboy. Now he is reprising the role as a stand alone character, very akin to the “The Creature from the Black Lagoon”, where he falls for a human female. I love all of Guillermo Del Toro’s movies and for those of you have haven’t yet seen “Pan’s…

Back in the 1980s, this was one of my favorite movies. A good friend and I would go every Friday after work to catch the latest sci-fi release at the Bijou. I remember this movie like it was yesterday, except from over 30 years ago. I was in my 20s. Now I am close to retirement, but I still pop this movie in the DVD…

Ringworld. I read Ringworld 40 years ago. I’d like to see it make it to the big screen before I die.

I think I’m done with the Terminator franchise. Where the heck are my new Predators?

I was happy and puzzled at the same time when NBC lured here away from the Fox Network, who we know is biased and truthful (as I swallow my own vomit). I was not aware of her “low-level” racist beliefs, if they are true and can be corroborated. Santa is a quasi-mythological character. Jesus is too. I’m not sure we…

I don’t think we need a space rock to hit the evolutionary reset button on this planet, although it might be much quicker. We are probably on the that path anyway with climate change and the saber-rattling of nuclear-tipped egos, once again. Look, I’m going to turn 60 next year and I’ve always considered myself to be…

After reading, hearing and seeing this episode of the Theater of the Absurd, I’m going to sit down with my brilliant, teenage daughter and inoculate her from such bigoted and misogynistic attitudes. As an Asian American father in the tech field, I am comforted by the thought that demographics will eventually phase out…
