We're used to how-is-this-actually-real stories by now, but Rubio and others waddling around in giant shoes because Trump gave them to them and they're afraid of offending him is an all-timer. And we don't really know if he does it intentionally to debase them or because his brain is mush (or both).

The Salute of the Jugger (a.k.a. The Blood of Heroes) | VERN'S REVIEWS on the FILMS of CINEMA Last time I saw THE SALUTE OF THE JUGGER it was called THE BLOOD OF HEROES. That only version available in the U.S. was about ten minutes shorter, but still

If you don't know THE SALUTE OF THE JUGGER (aka THE BLOOD OF HEROES), it's like if a sports movie was set in the world of MAD MAX. It's directed by BLADE RUNNER/UNFORGIVEN writer David Webb Peoples and it stars Rutger Hauer, Joan Chen, Vincent D'Onofrio and Oscar nominee Delory Lindo. I like it!

Song Sung Blue (2025) | VERN'S REVIEWS on the FILMS of CINEMA SONG SUNG BLUE (2025) is a feel good (but also sad) movie about the power of music, based on a 2008 documentary I hadn’t heard of about a Neil Diamond tribute

I'm a sucker for stories about niche, small-timer artists doing it for the love of the game (no one knows why), so I liked Craig Brewer's SONG SUNG BLUE. Also I'm happy to report that Kate Hudson deserved that best actress nomination.

Ricki and the Flash | VERN'S REVIEWS on the FILMS of CINEMA Before we get back into the Lucas-Minus-Star-Wars series I wanted to play a little catch up. Here's one of my favorite movies of last year, and I bet most of

(This thought brought to you by me writing about SONG SUNG BLUE and being reminded of RICKI AND THE FLASH.)

I'm just one lowly person but I really took them for granted as a staple store since the '90s, I was getting regular shipments from them through the pandemic, but haven't spent a cent since the DEI rollback and I know there are many like me. I doubt they can make that up in KKK cross promotions

Lover worm on a hook by @outlawvern.bsky.social so I wanted to do a fake book cover for it in the style of old pulp horror books.

Manborg | VERN'S REVIEWS on the FILMS of CINEMA As a fan of writer/director Steven Kostanski’s last three movies, PSYCHO GOREMAN, FRANKIE FREAKO and DEATHSTALKER, I decided it was time to check out one of

Having enjoyed Steven Kostanski's movies since PSYCHO GOREMAN I finally went back and watched his feature debut MANBORG (2011), a visual FX extravaganza made in his parents' garage.

Yeah, Milius wrote a King Conan long ago, Verhoeven separately had the Crusades movie.

Protector | VERN'S REVIEWS on the FILMS of CINEMA Last week when I went to see BLADES OF THE GUARDIANS: WIND RISES IN THE DESERT I saw some exciting trailers, including one for a kidnapped daughter action

PROTECTOR is ridiculous even by the standards of kidnapped daughter action movies, but Milla Jovovich is so good she still comes out looking pretty cool in the end.

And not everyone means it this way but I especially hate it when they're saying it's "more than a horror movie," as if after a certain level of quality or thoughtfulness it ceases being horror.

I'm still annoyed by "is SINNERS a horror movie?" discourse. Many horror movies are *about* something. Many horror movies take a while to reveal they're horror movies. Many horror movies also dip into other genres. It's about trying not to get bit by vampires. Of course it's a fucking horror movie.

I'm just saying I'm not ready to believe in the Academy giving it to a straight up horror movie. It felt possible after the SAG Awards, but I don't know.

Riggs is supposed to be the crazy one but at the start of Lethal Weapon 1, Murtaugh is shown having a morning bath on a workday. That is absolutely insane behaviour

I watched SINNERS again and it's still great but I can no longer picture it winning best picture now that I remember it has parts where people are fighting vampires while electric guitars go 'jhung jhung jhung.'

A handful of Republicans in Congress & Supreme Court can end this nightmare any time they choose, and history will remember them as saviors of the republic, no matter what terrible things they did to US in last 10 years: insane we cannot find a few volunteers for this plum deal!

As I traditionally did on an abandoned platform I would like to point out that International Women's Day is Cynthia Rothrock's birthday. Happy both!

Oh yeah, you're right, they're pretty similar! I personally hated that piece of garbage but this one is less racist and doesn't have the baggage of an iconic character.
