I guess for “Getter Robo Arc” a short primer is in order (though if you do end up picking up this Blu-ray you will get one as an extra feature.). So once upon a time, mecha anime wasn’t such a huge deal in the world of anime, and on top of that combining robots weren’t…
Severin Films – Sweatin’ to the Mid Year Sale – Blu-ray/UHD Reviews
It is June, we are halfway through the year. Admittedly we have hit the boring stretch of it all, and the holidays are month’s away. What’s a nerd to do? Well, fortunately we have awesome movies to keep us companies, and this month we have the Severin’s Sweatin’ to the Mid Year Sale loading fans…
Blu-ray Review – Premutos – The Fallen Angel (Unearthed)
Reflection of a horror junkie, I remember as a kid, or what felt like I was a kid being obsessed with getting my next horror hit. I would troll video stores throughout my just South of Tampa/St. Petersburg hometown trying to find horror films, I hadn’t seen, the most shocking, and weird I could find,…
Tabletop Review – Warhammer Fantasy Role Play Core Rulebook/Altdorf – Crown of the Empire
Warhammer Fantasy Role Play was Games Workshop’s answer to Dungeons and Dragons and other popular Tabletop RPG’s of the early 1980’s. Games Workshop started in 1975 as a distributor of tabletop games of all stripes, but soon found a market with both miniatures, and RPG’s, and eventually created their own with “Warhammer”, which was not…
UHD Review – Scream (5, 2022) – Paramount
I did not expect to like Scream 5 (Scream). I was not a fan of Scream 3 and 4 though I did enjoy Scream 4 more on 2nd viewing. I was a huge fan of Scream’s 1 and 2 as a teenager when they came out as I was in high school, and I felt…
UHD Review – Sword and the Sorcerer – Shout! Factory
Sword and the Sorcerer is maybe one of the last films I have been searching out on Blu-ray since Blu-ray began. This is film that has been trapped needlessly in DVD hell for so long, that it has basically skipped Blu-ray and gone straight to 4K UHD (there is a Blu-ray included too). I know…
Blu-ray Review – Shaolin Mantis – 88 Films
It’s been a good few years since I’ve seen Shaolin Mantis, and oddly I did have a review of this for the prior Dragon Dynasty disc, but that most have disappeared with ECAV 1.0, alas this is just an opportunity to watch and write about another slice of martial arts greatness from mastermind Lau Kar…
Blu-ray Review – Come Drink With Me – Arrow Video
King Hu’s ‘Come Drink with Me’ was not the director’s first, nor his best film, but it could be argued that it would be the film of his that had the most impact on cinema. The Shaw Brothers produced Wuxia epic from 1966, basically kickstarted Shaw Brothers studios run of martial arts films, and basically…
Tabletop Review – Traveller Core Rulebook Update 2022 – Mongoose Publishing
About 5 years ago I took the plunge back in the world of table top RPG’s. I spent years just not having the time and left them behind, so it seems like now having gotten back in since the late 90’s, I am making up for last time. I can’t always get the games I…
Blu-ray Review – Vampire Lovers – Scream Factory
Hammer Studios has already existed for decades when they experienced a sudden jolt of success with their one-two punch of the Curse of Frankenstein and the Horror of Dracula. These 2 films aside from being grounded by two men who would become a legendary pairing in the realm of fantastic film, had amazingly lurid color…
