I like action movies. A movie that has Jean-Claude Van Damme is sure to get a look. Even if what they are doing has been done to death. Black sites and escapes from them have all been the action movie rage the last couple of years in between the flood of cartel drug gang violence […]

The title and the release date Nov/6 caught my attention. Nov/6 is the date of the Mid-term elections and Loss Prevention is certainly a key word for the GOP, who seem destined to get their asses kicked.

My wife and I have just moved, so bits of ‘lint’ get disturbed. I came across a 2016 DVD/CD set by Vanilla Fudge. I pride myself on knowing a fair amount about music, but I had to think long and hard to pin down Vanilla Fudge. Then I remembered, they share the same DNA with […]

I had not realized that this documentary had not made it to DVD till now. The Church of Scientology (for good reasons) has been a lightning rod since its creation. The religion is the brain child of Sci-Fi author L Ron Hubbard, likely best known for his book Dienetics. Hell there is nothing wrong with […]

This film was done in Jean-Claude Van Damme’s early career. I believe it was like his third film made. I have always enjoyed his films. We watched them a lot while my two sons were growing up. This one starts out with an aircraft, belonging to the US Air Force, an F-111 Aardvark that has […]

When this DVD, Rise of The Black Bat, came in for reviewing I thought to myself that it is another version of Batman. Since I was never a real Batman fan, I hesitated but then decided OK, I will have to give it a try, I mean how bad could it be, right? I popped […]

I am not sure if I actually believe in ghosts or haunted houses or not, but to be honest I don’t think I would risk going into a place that is rumored to be haunted. Arkham Sanitarium was a place that use to house patients with special needs but it had been left vacant for […]

It is hard to know where to start in discussing this British TV series that began in 1997. Maybe a quick history lesson would be a good beginning. In the 60’s and 70’s (I know because I lived there) there were only two choices that a a viewer had, the BBC and the rather brash […]

I think it would be fair to say that the filming technique was somewhat similar to The Blair Witch Project. And much like Blair Witch it is steeped in mystery. From time to time I do get strange packages in the mail, books and DVD’s. I have no clue where they come from. I guess […]

The story behind Aleister Crowley has always been of interest to me. He is best remembered as a writer and supporter of the dark arts. Certainly he deserves the title, but how did he get there? What drove Aleister Crowley to find solace in the world of Black Magic? The chances are that we may […]
