⚠️ SPOILER WARNING: FULL SPOILERS In "Slingshot" (2024), two determined men face a cosmic divide, caught between duty and destiny in a high-stakes space thriller. My Rating: ½ (0.5/5 stars) Don't waste your time. It looked interesting and had some big-name actors and actresses, but it wasn't worth it. The movie was too long for the ending it had, and the plot was weak. This product uses the TMDb API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDb.

Sundry Sunday is our weekly feature of fun gaming culture finds and videos, from across the years and even decades. Ah yes, this is exactly the kind of nonsense that Sundry Sunday was intended to showcase. I’m telling you, quality randomness like this don’t come down the intertubes that often. From TheIridiumic138, it’s just a bunch of clips from NBC television, that’s the National Broadcasting Company, but presented in the form of a WarioWare video game collection (3 minutes). It’s exactly as…

Director: Kristoffer BorgliStarring: Nicolas Cage, Julianne Nicholson, Michael Cera, Tim Meadows, Dylan GelulaWhat it is about: A boring professor who leads a boring life starts appearing in almost everyone's dreams and becomes an instant worldwide celebrity.Spoiler-free review: Surreal movies are too rare, and that's a shame. The cinema medium is perfect for surrealism, especially nowadays with the capabilities of CGI. Visually, the movie is nothing too special (I mean, there's barely any…

Western SAN ANTONIO (1945), reunited half a decade later for MONTANA (1950).MONTANA has just been released on Blu-ray by the Warner Archive Collection. It was the last of Flynn and Smith's four films together, a collaboration which began with DIVE BOMBER and GENTLEMAN JIM in 1942.This time around Flynn plays Morgan Lane, who arrives in Montana determined to be a sheep farmer.This makes him very unpopular with the local cattlemen, as well…

In The Girl Most Likely, Jane Powell stars as Dodie, a young woman who dreams of marrying a millionaire and living "the life." Her current steady Buzz (Tommy Noonan) loves her dearly and vows to give her the high life as soon as he makes it big in real estate so Dodie accepts his proposal of marriage even though kissing him doesn't set her on a "pink cloud" like she thought it would. The next day she meets handsome Pete (Cliff Robertson) whom she thinks is yacht-owner and millionaire Neil…

2026 has been a good year for Jason Statham fans, with the enjoyable SHELTER (2026) earlier this year and the recent release of his latest film, MUTINY (2026).As background, MUTINY was written by J.P. Davis and Lindsay Michel. Davis cowrote the very well-done PLANE (2023) a few years ago, which was directed by Jean-Francois Richet and filmed by Brendan Galvin. Richet and Galbin reteamed, along with screenwriter Davis, for MUTINY. I've seen some speculation that MUTINY is a loose reworking of…

Project Runway 22's Dancing with the Stars crossover was inspired—and had great mentoring by Julianne Hough—yet gave too much attention to petty barbs from Bryan, Law, and others.

A quick look at the movies, television shows, music, and books that have captured my attention over the past two months. Widow’s Bay Horror isn’t generally something I enjoy, but this show was more than just a bunch of scares. It was quite funny—I laughed often—and featured some really fascinating characters, and Matthew Rhys and Stephen Root really shine. The jump scares are few, but used effectively when they do come. This show is more than just a good horror series; it’s a darn good…

I watched The Ipcress File from 1965. It was based on an 1962 novel — Len Deighton’s first — and was released at the height of mid-60s “Bond-mania” as kind of an anti-Bond. Michael Caine is Harry Palmer, an Army officer working for the Ministry of Defence. He’s insolent and insubordinate and has some criminal charges in his background. He’s assigned to a unit that’s trying to recover a missing scientist and discover why several other scientists have seemingly become incapable of doing critical…

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster. Henry Hill in GoodFellas (narration) Table of ContentsWhy GoodFellas?The MovieConcluding Thoughts Why GoodFellas? GoodFellas is the fourth movie in the list of movies I am using for project CineCat. I am glad for that since after Schindler’s List I really needed a bit of a palate cleanser and this movie is definitely one of those. Coincidentally, I also just read a book about Irish gangsters before I watched this movie so a…

Beauty And The Beast (1991)

After a week in which, holy Toledo, freakin’ glaciers melted in Nepal and all-world all-star champion megawatt entertainers Dolly Parton and Tim Curry passed, the question of how the heck Monsieur Blogmeister can write today’s post arises. The answer is. . . NACHO LIBRE!Nacho Libre: The Lord's Chips Jack Black is clearly a big fan of the Santo movies, which definitely number among the favorite psychotronic B-films of the gang here.The Mexican take on American monster movies and sci-fi feature…

They have let me into the studio again - this time to talk about kitbashing with Steven. As well as the video, he has put together an excellent guide on World of Railways.

The only recording today starts with the end of Newsnight. There’s a weather report. There’s a trail for An African Journey with Jonathan Dimbleby. There’s a trail for Radio 1’s Big Weekend and one for Money with Nick Frost. Then we have Fame. I’ve always been a bit more familiar with the TV spin-off, as it was huge, so it’s always interesting to see the film that started it all. It’s directed by Alan Parker, who was not averse to the musical, having made the excellent Bugsy Malone, and he’s go…

Legendry actor Tim Curry died on August 24, 2026, at the age of 80. He was best known for playing Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). He also played Wadsworth in Clue (1985), Long John Silver in Muppet Treasure Island (1996), and, on television, Pennywise in the mini-series It, among many other roles.Tim Curry was born on April 1946, in Grappenhall, Cheshire. When he was twelve years old, his father had a stroke and then died weeks later from…

Here’s something Fiona and I, with editor Chase Barthel and producer Neil Snowdon, spent most of this year working on for Arrow Films. CLASH OF THE TITANS in 4K, with a feature length documentary by us. Another instance (after THREE MUSKETEERS and FOUR MUSKETEERS) where we had to slam on the brakes to stop the […]

Kalifornia (1993)

Boorman and the Devil is ostensibly about the blighted and bloated production of Exorcist II: The Heretic, which was released in 1977 to a litany of horrible reviews. But as it weaves its utterly fantastic web we come to appreciate the plight of a filmmaker who finds himself caught in a maelstrom of bad omens and bad luck. The eyewitnesses who appear on camera look back on it as a unique experience in their long careers. There have been other chronicles of failed projects, notably Lost in La…

The endless attempts made by the perpetually hungry Wile E Coyote to catch a speedy Road Runner entertained generations in classic cartoons with each of the former’s schemes foiled one way or another proving perhaps that he wasn’t as wily as his name suggested. Or was it someone else’s fault? Often his failed attempts came as a result of misfiring equipment, always bought from a generic company named Acme and this film runs with the tremendous idea of him suing that company over these…

From an ingenious humor piece by Ian Frazier that ran in the New Yorker magazine twenty-six years ago, a dedicated team of filmmakers and animators have rendered an ingenious and impressive feature, blending live-action and animation à la Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It poses the question: what if Wile E. Coyote, having suffered the disastrous effects of inventions that invariably backfire, decided to sue the Acme corporation? Director Dave Green, working from a script by Samy Burch and a story by…

The post Kindertrauma Funhouse first appeared on kindertrauma.

Another weird late-August week. The biggest release is Coyote vs. Acme, in which Wile E. Coyote finally takes legal action against the Acme Corporation for how everything he's used to catch the Road Runner has failed, which was supposedly written off and meant to be destroyed as a tax dodge along with a couple other Warner Brothers films, but survived to be licensed out to Ketchup and is getting

An ongoing series Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie. A delightfully lo-fi sci-fi goof centered around Back to the Future? You know I’d be into it. If there were any justice in the world Matt Johnson would get an Oscar nod for his wonderful, wacky performance. The Odyssey. Truly what cinema is for. Zeus’s law requires that I commend movies like this for taking religion and myth seriously in all their weight and weirdness (complimentary). My first time in literal decades seeing a movie in IMAX…

It’s been a shit week, y’all. First Dolly Parton passed away on Tuesday, then we
