Much like the classic Lovecraftian protagonist, I too am haunted by knowledge not meant for man. This knowledge comes in the form of movies that a colleague of mine has so generously decided to bring to my attention. Our story starts out in suburbia. As young Tiffany wakes up to her birthday, the house maid…
The Impossible Kid (1982)
I have a feeling that I will be reviewing more sequels in the near future than original entries. Luckily for me, my taste in movies doesn’t really make that matter much. So anyway as a grand follow-up to the classic ‘For Your Height Only’, Weng-Weng is back as Secret Agent 00. The original couldn’t decide…
Monuments of Mars (1991)
This is another game that came out around the same time as Commander Keen. While I feel like it came out after, it took a step backwards into CGA graphics. An odd observation is that the enemies seems similar to Keen, taking place on Mars and all. The two-eyed Gargs return and the robots look…
You Have to Burn the Rope (2008)
At a Glance: On the surface, this is a seemingly easy and oversimplified romp. Unfortunately, it will no doubt be remembered as such, but one must truly do some digging to find the true meaning. What appears to be a simple, straight-forward platformer metamorphoses into a beautiful and brilliant narrative brimming with scathing and unmitigated…
Commander Keen: Episode 1 (1991)
Commander Keen is one of my most treasured childhood games. I mean after I traded my Eagle for a 286 and all. More games from THAT era later. In any case, save for some silly Saddam Hussein game, this kicked off the post-Church BBS swap. The Sunday ritual was always the same. When church ended,…
Goshzilla 2005 (2005)
Back for his third attempt, Goshzilla again terrorizes those who foolishly enter his domain. We start of with two people who are arguing about a CD holder. But it is not a CD holder, not even the great Rappin’ with the Homeboys CD. Surely this can only be resolved though a fight at the park….

The Terror of Tiny Town (1938)
I first heard about this gem on Oh the Humanity Supposedly if you watch this, you’re an official b-movie fan. I don’t know, since this was the first b-movie I watched, but it’s safe to say that you’re in good standing if you’ve either heard of this or watched it once. This movie is played…
Night of the Lepus (1981)
Well, this little gem of a movie was brought to my attention. It’s about rabbits. Big rabbits. So how can you go wrong with that. It’s very hard, but there’s one thing you can’t do. And that is take it too seriously. Given playing it straight came sometimes add to the campiness of the movie,…
Miss Cleo
Ahh, Miss Cleo. Who hasn’t seen those psychic commercials where you can get your FREE tarot readin’. It wavers between making you want to call to figure out what they’re saying, and realizing you’d be the laughing stock of your friends if they found out. So we choose the latter, and leave the truth untold….
