  • 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…

  • Two Rare Christmas Fright Flicks You’ve Never Seen Before!

    I’ve been trying to find some cool different movies this week for a Christmas horror movie night this weekend and I’ve gotta tell ya’ aside from the go to standards like (Black Christmas, Rare Exports, Silent Night Deadly Night, etc.) the pickin’s are pretty dang slim! There’s a serious shortage of cool weird ass fun…

  • 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…

  • The Krampus Movie of the 1950’s?!

    So I’ve already raved about how much I loved Krampus by Michael Dougherty and I’ve bee so surprised that no one has come out with a Christmas movie about Krampus before the craze hit recently. However yesterday I saw an odd trailer for a movie supposedly from 1958 called Krampus- check this out: So the…

    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…

  • The Best Horror Comedy Trailer of the Year ‘Hands’ Down!

    So maybe I’m a little late to the party here but over the weekend I saw this amazing trailer to a movie that doesn’t really exist, and I hope it stays that way! This was released back in October but somehow I missed it. It’s easily one of the most ridiculously funny things I’ve seen…

  • 5 Reasons Why Netflix Marvel is Better Than Movie Marvel!

    I’m really enjoying the latest Marvel Netflix original series ‘Jessica Jones’ and I totally loved Daredevil. It really got me thinking about why these shows seem so far (at least to me) so much better than the Marvel cinematic experience! After a little thought I decided to nail down my five reasons Marvel should send…

  • VHS Verdict: ‘Thunder Run’ Proves That in the 80’s Old Guys Kick Ass!

    I dusted off a VHS copy of ‘Thunder Run’ from 1986 last night and we got to see a hotshot 67 year old action star kickin’ major ass in his  souped up semi truck! Yeeehaw! Yep this one was a total blast, if you’re looking for some seriously over the top action and crazy car…

  • Cool New Monster Movie Trailers!!

    I had to take a few moments to post a few really cool monster-centric trailers I’ve seen recently, hands down my favorite type of movie-first up is “A Monster Calls” which kinda feels like the brother film to Pan’s Labyrinth. Check out this trailer if you haven’t already. It’s directed by Juan Antonio Bayona who…

  • Thor ROCKS Portland Oregon With His New Documentary and Live Show!!

    This week I had the great pleasure to see the legendary Jon Mikl Thor live right here in Portland Oregon! But that wasn’t all, before he hit the stage he gave us all a screening of the new documentary “I am Thor”!! Some of you might not even know who Thor is but if you…
