  • Should William Shatner Return to Star Trek?!

    Well, well, well, so William Shatner came out in the news this week stating that he’d be open to playing an aged Captain Kirk in an upcoming Star Trek film. Now we all know that Kirk supposedly bit the dust in ‘Star Trek: Generations’ back in 1994 in the most un-epic way possible. Yep he…

  • Freaky Friday Night at The Movies: 3615 code Pere Noel & Howl!!

    I’ve been doing little movie nights at my shop Hollywood Babylon here in Portland, Oregon quite regularly now and I thought it’d be cool to start doing reviews of the flicks that we watch. I’ve gotta say investing in a projector is really one of the best things you can do if you’re a movie…

  • Merry Christmas With Tales From The Dark Side, The Twilight Zone, Sherlock Holmes and More!

    It’s Christmas eve! We’re all set tonight for Christmas to get cozy and wait for Santa to come squeeze down our chimney, but what to watch tonight while we wait? Do we choose the usual classics? If you’re like me you might be looking at adding a few different selections to the agenda tonight here’s…

  • Archangel Disappoints in New X-men: Apocalypse Trailer!

    I really don’t like to be negative here at Universal Dork but having seen the new X-men: Age of Apocalypse trailer, the one character I was most stoked on seeing in this movie has suddenly become the biggest disappointment of the first trailer. Archangel is hands down one of my favorite characters in the Marvel…

  • ‘Krampus’ is Easily One of the Best Christmas Movies EVER!!

    My Christmas wishes were answered yesterday as I headed off into the chilly night with a bunch of friends to check out Michael Dougherty’s holiday horror flick ‘Krampus’! I’ve been waiting for a proper Krampus movie for ages and the wait is finally over folks, this movie was awesome. Dougherty has proven he IS the…

  • Herve Villechaize: The Pop Star?!

    I’ve loved the show Fantasy Island when I was a kid, it always managed to scare the shit out of me! You know I’ve recently watched several episodes of the show again and it still totally holds up. A super cool concept and a killer cast-which brings me to one of it’s legendary characters “Tattoo”…

  • Ash vs Evil Dead: Was it Worth the 23 Year Wait?!

    Well last night was the night, the wait was finally over, twenty three years after the release of “Army of Darkness” we were given the first episode of the sequel television series “Ash vs. Evil Dead”! It seemed like an eternity and to be quite honest I was never fully convinced we’d ever see Bruce…

  • Kick Don Bluth in the Butt and Kickstart The DRAGON’S LAIR Movie!!!

    Yes! It’s such a pleasure to do a blog post that I really am totally hyped about these days! This morning I got wind of the brand spankin’ new Kickstarter page for Dragon’s Lair: The Movie and this is something I’ve always wanted to see since the 1980’s. First let me state that Don Bluth…

  • Please Don’t Bring Darth Vader Back from the Dead!!

    We’ve all heard the rumor mill this week about all things Star Wars all the damn time 24/7. To be completely honest I’m trying to avoid as much of all that as I possibly can-I would really like to see Episode 7 without knowing the whole damn plot and every one of it’s secrets ahead…
