Who's This Dude?

I am, in no way, shape, or form, qualified to critique films.

But then. Neither is anybody else, really.

I just like movies. A lot. And I like the sound of my own voice. Or the look of my own type. Or... Look, I like writing about movies. The ones I've seen, anyway.

So, if you like what you read, keep coming back.

Venom (2018)

One of my favorite movies, a movie that always brings a smile to my face, is not what you think. It's not Deadpool , though I really liked those movies. It's not Avengers: Infinity War , although that movie is a towering feat of cinema. It isn't even Captain America: Winter Soldier , which is probably Marvel's best MOVIE, period. No, one of my absolute favorite Marvel films is Lexi Alexander's 2008 romp, Punisher: War Zone . It is balls-to-the-wall insanity. It is a cartoonish parody of American hyper violence. It is stylish, gorgeous to look at, and every actor is firmly onboard. It isn't a "good" movie, per se: but it is a helluva fun time. What does that movie have to do with this year's (surprise) hit, Venom ? Well, I really like bad movies. I like movies that are audaciously terrible. I have fun watching them. As soon as the reviews for Venom  started to roll in, I had high hopes that Venom  would rise to Punisher: War Zone...

HULKACINEMA!: Thunder in Paradise (1993)

His Look Really Doesn't Change Much I couldn't find this movie streaming on any service: not on Hulu, not on Amazon, and not on Netflix. I did, however, find it, for free, on Youtube. So I decided that I would watch and review this one, sooner than originally scheduled, in order to avoid paying for these movies as much as possible. This one, unlike Suburban Commando, was actually quite a bit of fun. And you can actually track Hogan's growth as an... actor? I mean, he's still very terrible. But he's getting more comfortable in front of the camera, and trying to establish his go-to action film persona. Summary: Randolph "Archie" "Hurricane" Spencer (aka Spence (and billed on IMDB as R.J. Spencer: where the fuck does the J come from? (Yeah, that's a multitude of possible nicknames))) and his partner, Martin "Bru" Brubaker (this movie never met a nickname it didn't like), are ex-Navy Seals who ride around the Florida coast...

American Myth: A Series on the American Western

American Myth America is a young country. Younger, in context, than most of the other storied nations of the world. And, because of that, our nation's mythology is a bit different than other parts of the world. We don't have knights and castles and magic witches. No, the American mythology was formed when our country set its eyes westward. The American mythology was born when men and women set off from their homes and forged a life in untamed wilderness. That wilderness brought out the best in people. And the worst. And it brought out our myths. We traded knights for cowpokes, magic swords for six shooters, and dragons for deadly outlaws. Our castles were ramshackle towns in the middle of the desert, standing defiantly in the face of the natural order. A Genre is Born When the American film industry started, movies based on famous Old West tales were easy: there were no rights to speak of, they were adventurous and entertaining, and they celebrated the American spir...
