Almost Equal Sequels Part XVIII: The Lost World: Jurassic Park

As I write this in August 2025, there is still an opportunity to watch incredible creatures eating folks in your local theaters.  No, I’m not talking about the unsettling weirdness that is Pedro Pascal in Fantastic Four: First Steps, you sillies!  I mean dinosaurs!  Honest to goodness, slathered with CGI dinosaurs!  Yes, there are probably …

Flea Markets are the Real Superheroes

One of the great thrills of my childhood was going to the Flea Market in Princeton, WI during Saturdays throughout the summer.  My grandparents have a cabin in nearby Wautoma and when we’d go up there for a weekend or longer, my brother and I couldn’t wait to seek out the treasures amongst what others …

Regarding Recycled Redundant Reimagined Rebooted Remakes or A Look Back On Why In The Name Of Ra Would You Start Your Universe With The Mummy?

Boy, remember those halcyon days when Marvel Studios managed to pull off so much in a relatively short while?  They had it down to an artform which resulted in a globally successful shared movie universe with a heretofore unheard-of consistency.  Sure, there were some slight missteps along the way, but you must put your hat on …

A Halloween 2018 Talk On Halloween (2018)

With the recent trailer release for the forthcoming Halloween Kills, I thought I would bring back my review on Halloween (2018).  This is not only because I am eager to cash in by hanging onto the coattails of this franchise but also more importantly, I am lazy.  But this article is a true slice in …
