  • The Top 10 “Stranded on an Island” Movies!

    I find myself thinking a lot about getting stranded on a deserted island quite alot! Perhaps it’s because of my love of the show “Lost” or maybe it’s just because life here in the USA can get a little too stressful! Well either way the dream of being stuck on one sounds quite nice most…

  • R.I.P. Corey….

    Wow. This morning I was totally shocked when I got up and heard the news that Corey Haim had died just a couple hours ago. It really shouldn’t be that shocking though since all of his drug related problems right? He seemed like one of the most troubled former child actors out there yet still it shocked me…

  • MARILYN MANSON LANDS A PLANE; Or, TURBULENCE 3—HEAVY METAL

    Slade Craven’s not your average pilot. He’s taking you on a heavy metal cruise through the unfriendly skies in TURBULENCE 3–HEAVY METAL. Hang on to your spiked collars and never wish that Rutger Hauer still made movies again!

  • Rob Zombie – Redemption!

    A couple months back, this dork was a bit hard on Rob Zombie. In a blog about his plans to remake The Blob, I guess I was a bit harsh in my criticism about how he keeps remaking things and why the divergence from the original works like House of the 100 Corpses and The…

  • Halloween Horror Movie Night! 5 Flicks that will deliver!

    This is by far the best season to watch horror movies! So what are you gonna do with yourself before halloween? Spend your money sitting at a bar? Go to bed early? Watch reruns of Small Wonder ’til 2am? Smash some neighborhood pumpkins? No way! It’s Horror Movie Night time!! Pick out a few movies make…

  • You can look to the Galaxy, or Within, for some Terror!

    Fellow Universal Dork Pete Saturday posted an awesome review and reminder of the classic Creepozoids and I responded with a note about two other plot/theme related classics, The Terror Within and Galaxy of Terror. After some serious thought and internal reflection on my actions…I realize that it is pretty lame to just hang the carrot…

  • Zombies…Zombies…Everywhere!

    Zombies are popular…right? So I decided to go on a hunt for some of the recent zombie releases and make a blog collecting them to inform our readers…quickly, I realized that zombies have gotten out of hand. This is my testament to the good, the bad, and the dead of the offerings over the last…

  • Watchmen is out today, remember the cartoon?

    Hype up time.  It is on the tip of everyone’s tounge, The Watchmen is finally a full length motion picutre.  Much like other comic seires before it, The Watchmen was first explored at a television show (not many people know this).  Spiderman, X-men, even Batman were all television programs before making it to the big…

  • The Never-boring Neverending Story Video

    I have to thank our local weekly paper’s music blog  (The Portland Mercury’s End Hits) for reminding me of this gem from my childhood.  I probably watched The Neverending Story about one zillion times when I was a kid.  The adventures of Atreyu (not the lame band) and Artax (and later Falcor) really boostered my imagination…

  • Superman and Spider-Girl, crossover movie

    Well, it might not be sanctioned by either Marvel or DC, but this is a pretty great paring of 2 great superheroes.  I have never seen dance moves like this preformed whilst saving innocent victims from peril.  So Awesome. It’s awesome that they gave Superman the power to become “semi-transparent” while he flys, and… Spider-Girl…
