The fan favorite champions – now joined by Johnny Cage himself – are pitted against one another in the ultimate battle to defeat the dark rule of Shao Kahn that threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders. First of all, I love all the MK movies. They’re over the top, raunchy, gorey and they are pure fun. Good movies? Not really. Fun to watch? Absolutely! Karl Urban does a great job at playing Johnny Cage, and the only one that could have fit the role better was maybe Jean…
The first recording today starts with the end of Sportsround. There’s a trail for Gastronuts. Then it’s What’s New Scooby-Doo? – Riva Ras Regas. The episode opens with Rufus Raucous, a magician in Las Vegas, doing an escape from a hotel that’s being demolished. But he doesn’t make it and the hotel is demolished.

Backrooms, an addition to the growing list of self-consciously inventive horror movies, arrives with a pedigree that may impress aficionados. Produced by horror masters James Wan and Osgood Perkins, the movie also features performances by actors with hefty resumes: Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve. A bit about the movie's background: It springs from a movement called "creepypasta,'' i.e., horror stories posted and shared on the internet. Director Kane Parsons, now 20, began uploading…
On June 6, 1944, the Allied invasion of Normandy launched the brutal series of battles that brought Hitler’s ambitions in Western Europe to a halt. The movie Pressure deals with the 72 hours leading up to the momentous D-Day invasion. Director Anthony Maras, focuses on a part of the story that sounds prosaic but proves essential to Allied success, an accurate weather forecast. Pressure delivers a dramatized version of events that unfolded at Allied headquarters in Southwick House, Hampshire,…

Reeling from the betrayal, Gail impulsively joins her friend Otto on a trip to Los Angeles, where a psychic convinces Gail that the only way to save her marriage is to “even the scales” with her own celebrity pass: Jon Hamm. Thus begins an epic journey…
Do you remember the charming, touching and funny 2014 film Pride? It was based on the true story of the unlikely coming together of two groups, during the miners’ strike in the UK, over 1984-85. On one hand, you had the miners, Welsh (although the strike was across the whole of the UK), small town and a little insular. On the other hand, a group called Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) who were from London - the big smoke - formed to support the long-lasting strike and oppose the then…

Mubi / YouTube: Jane Schoenbrun’s TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA. A new kind of horror remake, starring Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson. In theaters starting August 7 in the US, Canada, UK, Latin America, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Ireland, Spain, Australia and more. Schoenbrun’s last movie, I Saw The TV Glow, was very special to many many people. This….looks a little more like a mainstream play, but I think it’s going to be one of those movies people talk about among the big…
Since I’m going for a comprehensive overview of all American Zorro productions, I guess I have to cover the 1972 softcore sex comedy The Erotic Adventures of Zorro, which has its own entry on Wikipedia and astonishingly has recently become available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime, albeit in slightly blurry standard definition. But I’ll try to make it brief, since even if you don’t mind softcore porn, a lot of it is pretty creepy and unpleasant due to the attitudes of the era. Content warning…

Audio Happy Christmas. Again. One of the results of your blogger catching up on Eighth Doctor stories in a bunch is the number based on special occasions, particularly Christmas. The effect has been much like bingeing through the revival television series with a festive special every two to thirteen episodes (depending on increased production costs at the time and if there was a gap year). This was clearly an extra-special challenge: set a Christmas story during the Time War. Taking inspiration…
Building on the three scavvies from my last post, I wanted to add in some cool characters to the gang. Obviously the Scavvy King will make an appearance down the line, but he can't be the only scavvy of note. That's where Papa Zhon comes in. I picked up the palanquin-less Nurgle champion an age ago, and he's been patiently waiting for the right project to come along. I reckon a motorised chair for an aging scavvy is exactly the right use for him!!Papa Zhon directs his scavvies to collect more…
Audio Baffled. In the olden days and actually still in recent days, this would have been released as boxed set so I would have listened to the first two instalments before discovering what the Doctor's involvement is, as was the case with something like Hooklight. But without an infinite budget, I decided to just buy the episode with Paul McGann on the cover and although this has a "previously on", it's more of a refresher for listeners who're already wearing the t-shirt. I got the gist though…
Audio The audio equivalent of one of those missing adventures or past Doctor novels that head off into directions the TV series couldn't possibly have gone, Tim Foley's Hooklight has the Fifth Doctor and his companions wrapped up in a 12-part story which gives each of them a character progression which will almost certainly be forgotten by the end of the story. So, we have Adric overcoming his nervousness around everyone, Tegan shacking up with a male love interest on some backwater planet for…

My look at Twin Peaks publicity photos from 1990 continues with a black and white portrait of Dana Ashbrook as Bobby Briggs. This 8-inch by 10-inch photo was part of a series of character photos released by Capital Cities / ABC Television to introduce viewers to the many characters from David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful...

His moustache tickles your face when he kisses you, and your thighs when he goes down on you. He loves like a Californian wildfire: suffocating a body with affection until it is exhausted and he isn't there anymore. Despite that, this cowboy is an emotional one, lacking only the hat and boots; you may find him by his campsite at night, back to a log and fingering a guitar. He'll tell you of how he once lassoed a falling star and rode it all the way to dawn, and how he would do it again for you,…
The definitive documentary on comedian Martin Short, exploring his career across film, television, theater and comedy. Great documentary about one of the most funny people in existence. Really well made, showing the nice parts of Martin’s life, along with the bad ones, it’s a moving documentary. Definitely worth the watch, six ppopcorns. To see all 6 photos, visit the article page.

Current Affairs: The Banal Horror of Jimmy Fallon. It begins: There is a distinctive, deeply uncanny horror to the way Jimmy Fallon laughs. Look it up—there are literally hundreds of videos showing him breaking out into laughter at the slightest provocation. It is not a reaction (he sometimes won’t even wait for his guest to get to their carefully scripted punchline). Rather, it is a performance, a sudden, corporeal convulsion. Fallon leans in his chair, as if pressed back by some unseen force.…
A couple of days after it reached town, I went to see the film adaptation of Andy Weir’s novel PROJECT HAIL MARY, directed by Lord & Miller and written by Drew Goddard. Goddard wrote the screenplay for the other Weir adaptation, THE MARTIAN, directed by Ridley Scott, in which Matt Damon once again has to be expensively rescued from something. (Someone once calculated that, in total, it would have cost some $900 billion to rescue Matt Damon from shit all those times.) Weir wrote another novel…

I should warn you that the above very short film could ruin your day in just over a minute. It was really a coincidence that I watched two public information films — Public Service Announcements I believe they’re called in the USA. I watched “Sewing Machine” because I saw it was directed by John Krish, […]
I saw several great reviews of the movie before going to see it, and they were right! Obsession is a movie that makes me feel uncomfortable and at the edge of my seat without falling into your typical horror cliches. Before watching this movie, I dived into the director’s previous work, and I find fascinating how comedy and horror can relate to each other.
Visually, it is a stunning movie. They successfully transported me to the era when the movie takes place. Including the beauty and the grotesque. I wish I had read the book before watching the movie to understand just how much influence the director put on this take of the story. When I started watching it it almost felt like it was going to be a horror movie. I think it fell under the same category as Poor Things, in my opinion. I think the movie is unnecessarily long. The first half of the…
