Puppetmaster 3: Toulonās Revenge After the second chapter of this belated saga, Producer Charles Band and Full Moon Entertainment had literally written themselves into a corner as far as continuing the franchise, so they came up with this: a REBOOT of the entire series starting with this prequel that tells the story of Puppetmaster Andre […]
Purple Rain Movies that more or less amount to being a rock starās vanity project can sometimes be a mixed bag, based in many ways upon the starās acting ability, the strength of the script and most importantly the quality of the music itself as featured in said movie. Elvis Presley was truly The King […]
Quadrophenia Based off The Whoās OTHER rock opera from the early 70s, director Franc Roddam helmed this 1979 release with an overall story made up entirely from whole cloth yet still retaining the spirit of the original album.

Anyone?), the sport of boxing was truly the sport of kings, the original one on one combat sport going back over 100 years in […]
Raiders Of The Lost Ark In the early days of cinema, the adventure serial was just one part of what added up to a full afternoon at the movies for most families, with the full program that they were treated to including the main feature, newsreels, various cartoons and short subjects along with the serial […]
