I can confirm that Tom Selleck’s mustache is great no matter the year, no matter the genre. You can practically feel the machismo oozing off of his upper lip’s grizzled fur baby. If you learn nothing else today, know that your face will never look as cool as his befollicled nasal undercarriage. And for that, […]

The Manitou (1978)
The Manitou The Manitou is the story of Karen and Harry. Karen has a bit of a problem. Seems there’s this fast growing lump on the back of her neck that twitches even when you don’t touch it. The doctors initially just assure her that it’s a tumor (not that having a tumor on the […]

Yet another made-for-TV Sci Fi Channel original movie. With terrible scripts, low rent CG, and low budgets consisting of pocket change and a used gum wrapper, these movies are perhaps more famous for being rip offs of better movie than they are for the list of B-list, C-list, and God only knows what-list levels of […] […]

In 1969, America went to the moon. To top us, the British made a movie about aliens on the moon coming to us in 1967. I’m still thinking we got the better end of the bargain here, but I don’t blame the UK for trying! Meteors fall in formation in a field in the English […]

Blue collar space movies are always a delight. Often times they’re full of working class Joes who are highly skilled at what they do but are not always the brightest when it comes to whatever terrible situation they find themselves getting into. Alien is the high mark, but the misfits of Dark Star, the non-astronauts […]

Read moreThe Endless (2017) — Movie Reviews by a Mook
Groundhog Day. We have a strange love affair with this movie. We compare other movies to it, such as Happy Death Day being Groundhog Day as a slasher, Edge of Tomorrow being Groundhog Day an alien invasion war movie, Boss Level as a pure action take on Groundhog Day, and so on. It isn’t our […]

There are more guns on that poster than there are in the movie. Also, most of the characters don’t dress like that, though the hair is actually pretty accurate. The boots are way off though. In general, that poster conveys a lot more action than actually happens in Vicious Lips. A futuristic New Wave generic […]
