Oldie but Goodie

Who can forget the cheesy 80's movie, Short Circuit and the loveable Johnny-Five. And then the lesser Short Circuit 2, which featured more cheese and a CAMIO by Mahoney (Steve Guttenberg). Too cheap for a whole movie, eh?

Movie (Video) Review - The Marine


Now there went a couple hours I won't get back...We screamed for a new action hero, but this soft-talking, muscled-up, jarhead wanna-be has to have real marines pissing vinegar all over the Middle East. Talk about a lack of continuity, this dude is fireproof (survived at least four close encounters with fireballs), bullet proof, sledgehammer proof, and has mutant healing abilities (goes from barely able to walk to swan-diving in .01 seconds flat...
Bring on the next loser.

Is this thing on?

check one, check two
both of them are working and neither one likes no feedback

Video Review: Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey



Long before he learned Kung-Foo, Keanu Reeves and was air-guitaring his way to stardome as a teenage doofus. I know that this isn't the first in the Bill and Ted epic series, but it was the one I found in the travel bag of a DVD player I was repairing. Nooge...

I hadn't seen this movie in at least a decade, but I found myself incredibly familar with the plot, to the point that I could recite nearly every line. The movie has great continuity (which any movie that includes a time machine should have), and a number of quotables. We all know that a movie is only as good as it's quotes:

"Dude, I can't believe we melvined death!"

"I got a full-on robot chubby. "

"That was non-non-non-non-non-NON-Heinous!"

"Don't overlook my butt, I work out all the time. And reaping burns a lot of calories."

There is also a link to Die Hard. The Man with no Tan, Mr. Grim Reaper is played by Bill Sadler, whom plays Col. Stuart (bad guy) in Die Hard 2. He also played the weasly senator in Hard to Kill.
