  • I recently re-watched “The Gate 2”, a copy which I purchased off ebay since it’s pretty hard to find at the video store. It had been so long since I had seen this movie I really wasn’t sure what to expect. The first installment is one of the finest 80’s horror flicks having some of the coolest “how’d they do…

  • You will hear it here first…and only here at Universal Dork! Despite popular belief, Jabba the Hut did not die on his sand barge by the Sarlacc pit on Tatooine.  If you remember the accounts of the fateful day, he was believed to be choked to death by the very chains that bound his entertainment,…

  • Who says Wisconsin is just all cheese and beer? Well it is, but you know what else it has to offer? Haunted treasures! I myself grew up in Wisconsin and my family has a cottage there up in the north woods in a small quaint city called Three lakes. There are many strange stories that can be…

  • Any attempt I can get, I love to relive the cartoons and movies of my childhood.  In this particular case, it occurred to me…what about that movie Watership Down?  I am sure many of the loyal readers are familiar but are most likely in the same position I found myself…I remember that movie, I remember…

  • The new trailer for peter Jackson’s first movie since King Kong has finally been released. Based on the best selling book by Alice Sebold, “The Lovely Bones” follows the story of a young girl who has been murdered as she watches over her family and her killer from heaven. I have never read the book but the movie trailer looks…

But one of the most heralded and timeless aspects of the…

  • I just saw this cool little video this morning about crappy movie monsters! Check this out and see what we’re missing out on now that all the crappy monsters are CG! If they are gonna look bad I want em’ this way again! enjoy…

  • In response to the most recent post about the new horror flick “The Collector” being more or less a total clunker, I just had to give theater going horror fans a little hope. I realize that this movie opened up on the 24th and many of you may have already seen it, but for those of you who…

  • So, The Collector…saw it this weekend and here are my thoughts… When approaching the theater, I had to remind myself that The Collector was written and directed by Marcus Dunstan. Dunstan has written Saw IV, V, and the upcoming VI (personally, the world could have done without II-V). In the case of The Collector, I…

  • Wow, I could not contain my excitement when I saw this so I had to write up a quick one for you. SPACE ACE for the iPhone! Now, I apologize to anyone that may not have an iPhone, but just perhaps this is the tipping point for you go out and splurge! For those with…
