Arnold Schwarzenegger said he’d be back, and when Arnold speaks, our butts are in the seats. And for every miss like The Last Stand, there’s some good quotable Arnie in Escape Plan… and then there’s Sabotage, the DEA cop thriller by David “End of Watch” Ayers. The film opens strongly enough with some gun violence, […]

While not as good or as revolutionary as its predecessor, this prequel/sequel/side-story has enough action, boobs and violence to make any boy happy. The story is fairly straightforward, without any real twists or turns, but it’s all there to move us from one slo-mo fight sequence to the next one. Actors and characters are largely […]

I love Liam Neesons, but even he can’t get me into a theater to see Unknown or Taken 2. That said, I was curious about Non-Stop as it takes place entirely onboard a plane and I’m always interested in how movies handle one set thrillers… plus the one-two punch of LEGO Movie and Non-Stop seemed […]

Giant monsters. Giant robots. The warped mind of Guillermo Del Toro. Ron Perlman. All of these things sound wonderful on their own, but combining them into one movie seems like paradise. That movie has now arrived as PACIFIC RIM. Did the Jaeger vs. Kaiju battling blow away our expectations? Tell us more about monsters! We […]

The sci fi action thriller starring Will and Jaden Smith has been unleashed! From director M. Night Shyamalan to boot. Will there be twists? What kind of strange alien creatures will we meet? Will this all be a parable for some wacky Scientology teaching? Everything is answered in this After Earth review, and be warned, […]

FAST FIVE was probably one of our top 5 films in 2012. A total surprise, a hoot and with twists and turns and characters we absolutely loved. How did this racing franchise go from ZERO to 60?? The legendary Justin Lin! So when FURIOUS 6 (the official title) reared its head, we had to see […]

Our boy JJ is back, and taking the Trek crew on another… errr… journey. Caught the Star Trek Into Darkness IMAX 3D screening at the Citiwalk in Los Angeles (one of the best IMAX screens in the city) and had some impressions from the new sci-fi sequel. How are our old friends Kirk and Spock? […]

Thanks to the lovely folks at Los Angeles Times Hero Complex, we were able to see some flicks that we consider classics: a John Carpenter double feature THEY LIVE and HALLOWEEN, and Roland Emmerich’s alien invasion blockbuster INDEPENDENCE DAY. A wonderful experience with interesting Q&As with both Carpenter and Emmerich, but it helps set perspective […]

The man of iron has returned, and so has Robert Downey Jr. We’re talking about Shane Black, the director of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, the writer of The Long Kiss Goodnight, the actor in Predator who tells a story about a vagina that’s as big as a house. Honestly, neither of us were huge Iron […]

   Despised this movie. Not going to write too much about it, but if you want to hear about it, we rant and rave for far too long about what this was supposed to be, why it failed, why Dwayne The Rock Johnson should be embarrassed, why Michael Bay’s sense of humor sucks…. on and […]

People always lament that there isn’t any good sci fi out there, but OBLIVION tries to change that up. The director of EG favorite TRON LEGACY returns with his post-apocalyptic sci-fi adventure, OBLIVION, and brings the legendary Tom Cruise along for the ride. We’ll cut to the chase, our views were mixed on this one, […]

Who doesn’t love dinosaurs? Much more, who doesn’t love dinosaurs in 3D??? As one of our favorite films, we had to return to Isla Nublar to see JURASSIC PARK 3D in theaters one more time… or in Cybergosh’s case, two more times. The AMC Citiwalk’s IMAX 3D was the venue, and this edition was spread […]

As big fans of Sam Raimi and the original Evil Dead saga, we were pumped to see the remake which we had read was getting good press from the horror community. We even convinced the legendary BAKE SNAKER to join us as a special guest as we toured a different kind of cabin in the […]

So many forces have come together for G.I. Joe Retaliation: the director of Fast Five, one of our favorite action/driving movies of all time, the mega-star and Scorpion King himself, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, the comic and animated might of a childhood favorite, G.I. Joe. We didn’t hate the first movie, G.I. Joe: The Rise […]

We traveled far and wide to witness OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL, Sam Raimi’s family friendly entry into the world that Alice In Wonderland built. You know the classic story of the Wizard of Oz, but here you find out what happened before Dorothy left Kansas. Expectations were low, as we are not Alice fans, […]

Sorry for the delay on this one, folks, but the wait is over. We visited the lovely TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood to experience the majesty of Bryan Singer’s return to the silver screen with JACK THE GIANT SLAYER! It’s the classic tale of Jack and the Beanstalk, told in a different more epic way, […]

Wow. Usually, we do our best to mask our final opinions before you give the podcast a listen, but in the case of A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD, we’ve got to cut to the chase. Don’t see it. Don’t buy a ticket to see it. Don’t add it to your Netflix queue as an […]

We didn’t really know what to expect from WARM BODIES. A romantic comedy with zombies with John Malkovich, really? All we knew was very little of the premise, but it was enough to get us into theaters to see it. What did we think? Could WARM BODIES be the first solid offering of 2013?? All […]

Sylvester Stallone has always been one of the greats. Sure, he may have stumbled here and there when he asked people to stop or his mom would shoot, but for every Judge Dredd, we got a Demolition Man. Recently, there’s been a Stallone resurgence. Rambo ROCKED, and even if Expendables didn’t live up to its […]

As kids, Arnold Schwarzenegger was our hero, our aspirational role-model, our friend. He fought aliens, terrorists and exterminated humanity for our pleasure. So when “he’s back” in a new action movie, we of course needed to be there. That triumphant return is in the movie, THE LAST STAND, now in theaters, and stars Arnie as […]
