Ah, Stephen King. Master horror novel writer. Just the name congers up memories of reading IT or The Green Mile long before even knowing there were movies made based on them. Actually, it seems that the majority of King’s novels have been made into movies. But Stephen King is not only a writer. Oh no. He is a director too. Well, just one time. And yes, Maximum Overdrive – the story about machines coming to life – is that one time. Ever wondered what an 80s coke binge looks like?

Paul Walker and Jessica Alba return to Or Is It? with this movie about ocean diving treasure hunters who get entangled in a twisted plot and being blackmailed by a Colombian drug lord.

Oh shit, I just got that. Just kidding. 🙂

What happens when you mix a former basketball superstar trying to stay relevant with a group of cartoon characters trying to stay relevant in the 1990s? You get Space Jam.

This might be a beloved movie, but we’re all kind of weirded out by the use of Mike’s “Secret Stuff”. So download the show because you want to win, right?

With Sabban’s Power Rangers opening this weekend, we went back to the Power Rangers well for the second time. Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie is the story of the Power Rangers facing off against Divatox and gaining their new Turbo Powers. Wow. What a crap-tastic movie! You have the Power Rangers, a list of villains right out of the comic-con, a dead-eyed reject from Dune, and spin-kicking out of a ring. How could we go wrong?

The 1995 Disney classic gets a live action makeover with Emma Watson as Belle. Beauty and the Beast is the latest of Disney’s live action adaptations that have had, arguably, a rocky start so far. But this story “as old as time” is beloved by millions and the Disney would be foolish to attempt this half-assed. Sean Taylor and Tex saw this offering, enduring the one of the worst cinema experience of all time. Does the film rise above the poor theatre experience or is this like Maleficent?

Oh . . . the 80s. Yes before Hackers, before Tank Girl, and even before Airborne, there was Rad. In the 1980s, a new fad swept the nation as BMX became hugely popular with teenagers. Bicycles had treaded tires, plastic grips, and a foam cylinder cover the cross bar right below your crotch. It was cycling . . . TO THE EXTREME!!! At the height of this fad came Rad. It’s the story of a teen competing against the best BMX-ers in the world on HELL TRACK!! So get your Rad t-shirt and forget about ass-sledding, it’s time to get Rad!
