By Pat French I’m what you might call an avid tabletop gamer. I’ve been playing Dungeons and Dragons since 7th grade. I started creating my own homebrew systems in High School. For over a decade I’ve run (almost exclusively) custom-made campaigns in worlds I built from the ground up. I […]

Graduation Day (1981) – SLASHER HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee The 1980s was a very special time for slasher films. I especially enjoy the whodunit slasher flicks and they made them by the dozens during this time. I can’t get enough of this genre and although many of them follow the same formula, it never gets old. […]
GI JOE Retaliation – ACTION MOVIE Review
By Pat French In the sequel files I analyze the redheaded stepchildren of our beloved film franchises, endeavoring to sort out the occasional gold nugget from the massive piles of Pyrite. Today’s File, GI Joe Retaliation or “Blowing is Half the Battle” So I may be in something of a […]
Only the Strong (1993) – ACTION MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee The 1990s was not a great time for film, but there was some decent things going on in the action genre. Many of the entries from the 90’s were still under the influence of the 1980’s brand of action, using many of the elements but making it […]
Mazes and Monsters (1982) – Christian Propaganda Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Currently, I am on vacation in Austell, Georgia visiting my family. It’s always great to see my amazing brother-n-law Joey and wonderful father and mother-n-law. My husband and I always have a blast, and I’m happy to say (though I don’t want to jinx myself […]
A Man Apart (2003) – Vin Diesel ACTION MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee A good cop, doing his job, loses his wife at the hands of some bad guys and now plans to take them down, one by one. This sound familiar? It should. Ninety percent of all 1980’s action films followed this formula and rightfully so. It’s a great […]
The Sequel Files: Men in Black II (MIIB)
By Pat French Movie sequels are the biggest hit or miss prospect in Hollywood. Their entire existence is based on the conceit that occasionally, against all odds, lightning will strike twice. If the first film had any sort of audience, it’s reasonable to expect a decent turn-out on opening weekend. […]
Death Wish V: THE FACE OF DEATH (l994) – Charles Bronson Action Movie Review
By Geno McGahee One of my favorite actors of all time is Charles Bronson. He had one of the best action film runs of any actor, including MURPHY’S LAW, 10 TO MIDNIGHT and the DEATH WISH series. In 1974, the original DEATH WISH was released. It was a gritty drama […]
Scream Park (2014) – Amusement Park SLASHER HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee An amusement park is a great setting for a horror movie. SCREAM PARK got points right out of the gate for just that, but, sadly, the rest of the film didn’t offer much. Wild Eye Releasing is bringing this film to VOD and DVD on April 22nd […]

The Cinema Snob: Nudies, Rudies & Crudies
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I most certainly needed a laugh yesterday and was absolutely thrilled when my copy of Nudies, Rudies & Crudies came in. It seems whenever I attempt to work extra hours at work, something happens and I need to leave early. Yesterday was such a day. So, […]
Buttwhistle (2014) – Drama Movie Review
By Geno McGahee Breaking Glass Pictures is bringing BUTTWHISTLE to cable VOD on April 29th and on DVD on May 27th, but don’t be put off by the name of the flick. Written and Directed by Tenney Fairchild, BUTTWHISTLE is a lesson that no good deed goes unpunished and that […]
