By Geno McGahee In 1985, THE BREAKFAST CLUB was a monster hit and was the hopeful launching pad for Judd Nelson, the arguable star of the film. Starring alongside him was Ally Sheedy, so putting them together again made sense and it should have made dollars too, but it bombed […]

Dark Side of the Ring: Jimmy Snuka and the Death of Nancy Argentino – Pro Wrestling Documentary Review
By Geno McGahee In the 1980s, Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka was a very big deal and was the biggest star that the WWE/WWF had in the pre Hulk Hogan era. The character that the audience saw in the ring was far different than the Snuka that the people closest to him […]
Face/Off (1997) – Nicolas Cage – John Travolta ACTION/SUSPENSE MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee Nicolas Cage is one of the best forces film has ever seen. His overacting is something that legends are made of. In 1997, one of the best ideas was realized when Cage was teamed up with another one of the best over-actors of our time, John Travolta, […]
Commando (1985) – Arnold Schwarzenegger ACTION MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee They don’t make action movies like they used to. It’s fair to say that they could not recreate a force like Arnold Schwarzenegger and in 1985, Arnie was just finding his footing. Scoring with TERMINATOR and the CONAN films, Arnie was getting traction as a player in […]
Dark Side of the Ring – Cocaine & Cowboy Boots: The Herb Abrams Story – Pro Wrestling Documentary Review
By Geno McGahee I’m really loving the DARK SIDE OF THE RING documentary series. I just checked out the latest COCAINE & COWBOY BOOTS: THE HERB ABRAMS STORY and it was a tremendous look into the UWF and the promoter behind it. In the 1990s, pro wrestling had two big […]
Dangerous Lies (2020) – Elliot Gould Netflix Suspense Movie Review
By Geno McGahee I’ve said it for years. You cannot go wrong with Elliot Gould. He even kept his cool around Bill Cosby in THE DEVIL AND MAX DEVLIN. That was a great flick. Fucking Cosby. Whenever I think about guys like Cosby and Kevin Spacey, I think of that […]
Lock Up (1989) – Sylvester Stallone, Donald Sutherland ACTION MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee I used to be very critical of Sylvester Stallone’s body of work, noting that his films were pretty much shit with the exceptions of the ROCKY films and FIRST BLOOD, but after being unable to go anywhere and do anything, I’ve decided to put some money down […]
Eraser (1996) – Arnold Schwarzenegger, Vanessa Williams ACTION MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee Arnold Schwarzenegger was the man in the 1990s. He began the decade with TOTAL RECALL and KINDERGARTEN COP. The next year he would have, arguably, his best film with the incredibly successful TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY. Although successful, LAST ACTION HERO in 1993 wasn’t considered one of […]
Boiling Point (1993) – Wesley Snipes, Dennis Hopper & Viggo Mortensen ACTION MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee There were a lot of attempts to create action stars in the 80s and 90s. Considering the money that guys like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sly Stallone were bringing in, it made sense to give other actors with the right look a shot. Wesley Snipes is one of […]
Nothing But Trouble (1991) – Chevy Chase, John Candy, Demi Moore & Dan Aykroyd STRANGE COMEDY REVIEW
By Geno McGahee When it comes to the careers of Chevy Chase, John Candy, Demi Moore and Dan Aykroyd, one movie may stick out as the one that they shouldn’t have done and that film is NOTHING BUT TROUBLE, a widely panned film that bombed at the box office, only […]
Spy Intervention (2020): Drew Van Acker and Poppy Delevingne Comedy Adventure NOW ON DVD – Review

Suburban Commando (1991) – Hulk Hogan Sci-Fi/Comedy/Action Movie Review
By Geno McGahee In 1989, Hulk Hogan took a stab at becoming an action star with the underrated NO HOLDS BARRED. It basically bombed, but it was just released at a very bad time. The same month that film came out, BATMAN, GHOSTBUSTERS 2, KARATE KID III and DEAD POET’S […]
