Well, what can I say…I blog for Universal Dork…does that qualify me as a true, purebred dork? Come on out to Universal Dork and decide. As mild mannered konales, I am a research scientist by day and comic, horror, anime, death metal lovin’ dork by night. Kind of a modern day professional mad scientist (Dr. Jekyll and Hyde)! I am pretty open to all topics and comments. In fact I love to hear for the readers…if you don’t agree or want to be heard, be assure for my posts I love to respond and drum up some dialog. Fear not fellow dorks, there are others out there like you…many in fact. And we are looking to cover topics that you don’t really care about…but love to read about. Thanks for reading and supporting.

  • Rambo V: On a Path To Disaster or To Destroy?

    There are a lot of details out on the web right now about the changing course of the new Rambo movie. From this dork’s perspective, as the news developed there was a lot of happiness and a lot of sadness. This has been a roller coaster ride of action and suspense. But it appears that…

  • New Clash of the Titans Trailer!

    Here it finally is the new trailer for the Clash of the Titans remake by Louis Leterrier (The Incredible Hulk). It looks pretty awesome so far to me and I must say I get pretty pumped for new fantasy movies. There just aren’t enough out there! As you can see this looks nothing like the original…

  • The Guyver…Live Action Anime for Everyone!

    While digging through some old VHS tapes the other day, I encountered one of the best 90’s sci-fi movies…that I had completely forgot about…Shame on me!  It was a decrepit old copy of Guyver 2: Dark Hero.  As with many of our movie refreshes/reviews, you are probably once again saying to yourself “I have never…

  • AVP…NO! AVN…Alien versus Ninja! Yeah!

    Normally I would just laugh off a movie concept like this…kind of like Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus. But much the same reason I endured Mega Shark, I am just curious to see what a film makers vision for aliens and ninja is going to be like. To date, the details are few, so I…

  • Out of the Microverse and to the Big Screen…Abrams Looking at The Micronauts

    From Lost, to the new Star Trek…JJ Abrams keeps bringing the goods and I for one am happy that a fresh face in Hollywood is able to remake/reimagine and create originals that continue to stir fans crazy. Although I was not a huge fan of Cloverfield, I loved the fact that it was a fresh…

  • Roger Rabbit Returns….

    Over the weekend it was revealed that Robert Zemekis is indeed bringing Roger Rabbit back to the big screen. There hasn’t been too much solid info revealed on the sequel except that movie will be penned by it’s original writers Peter Seaman and Jeffrey Price. There has been talk of making the movie partailly in 3-D…

  • House of the Devil Carries Quite The Curse

    Well, well, well…I just wrapped up a session with the much hyped House of the Devil and so I felt that a Universal Dork review would be just what the Doctor ordered.  Apparently, this lower budget suspense/thriller/horror flick has been doing the rounds in the fall film festivals and getting rave reviews.  Lately, the new…

  • The A-Team Returns….

    The A-Team is officially back with this new photo which was just released on the web. I am really not sure what to make of this yet. I have fears of remaking these TV shows into movies as thoughts of The Dukes of Hazzard and Land of the Lost enter my mind. I’m not entirely sure what approach they…

  • Jonah Hex Movie, Adding up to WHAT!?!??!

    Somebody please help me with this tricky story problem! If you have one deformed bounty hunter searching for a Voodoo doctor trying to raise an army of the undead and you add one really hot chick, a little bit of John Malkovich and have a metal band score the movie…WTF do you get??? Apparently this…

  • Shatner & The Next Star Trek Movie!

    It was a big deal to William Shatner when he heard that the latest Star Trek Film would be featuring Leonard Nimoy returning as Spock but seemingly no Captain Kirk in sight. Shatner appeared angered with JJ Abrams’ decision and claimed he himself brought Kirk back to life in a mere few pages of one of his books,…
