Are we back? Too early to say. We thought we had it licked a couple of times before, only for strange overnight technical shenanigans to hit the reset button in entirely the wrong way. So excuse us if we don’t declare victory or make any…
Very little has united Star Wars fans recently quite like The Acolyte. A show so awful that even Disney’s usual damage control efforts through shill access and bot-farms cannot contain the fan reactions. The show has gone viral, for all…
We all knew what Marvel had originally planned for Daredevil once they got their hands back on the character. The well-received Netflix seasons were to be a distant memory. She-Hulk gave a terrifying glimpse into their plans. Then,…
Now that location shooting is out in the open on James Gunn’s Superman, it is impossible for the production to keep a lid on everything. Given Gunn’s frequent engagement with fans via social media, you get the feeling he probably doesn’t…
When a resume spans Chinatown and a couple of entries in the Mission: Impossible franchise, with a raft of awards and script doctor assignments in between, then you know you are talking about a special career. That career belonged to…
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F has landed on the streamer today! So the reviews are out in the wild as the audience scores build. So where are we? Audiences seem to like it more than critics. It has audience scores in the mid to high 80s, while…
Cobra Kai appears to be performing a trick so many other TV shows fail to get right. It is ending at the right time. After arriving out of nowhere on YouTube Red (remember that!?), it instantly became one of the most fun shows on…
A new director, when chosen ahead of a new actor to play James Bond, is an important franchise decision. Whoever they choose not only is responsible for introducing the new Bond, but also dictates the style and tone that will stay…
Big Red is back, but it’s not Ron Pearlman or David Harbour. Hellboy: The Crooked Man has Jack Kesy stepping into the role. There is a new trailer online. It’s a far departure from the original Hellboy (2004), which was bigger in scale.…
There is not really a lot we can say about this. Probably best if you just watch the teaser for Nosferatu for yourselves. Well… that looks suitably creepy. The original, and the Werner Herzog remake, scared the bejesus out of a young me. I…
What a time for the site to break down! The new Superman suit was revealed in full from a collection of set pics. This is like the glory days of internet movie fandom! Next thing we know, Boba Phil will be getting banned from Skywalker…
It’s hard to go wrong with the one-two-punch of Alfred Hitchcock and Jimmy Stewart. Yet, it does go wrong in Rope (1948). Play Out The Rope Rope was Hitchcock’s first Technicolor film. It is based on a play written by Patrick Hamilton.…
The newest movie by Renny Harlin, The Strangers: Chapter 1, is now available on streaming. I was hoping for something fun with some of that Harlin magic. I did not get any of that. The Strangers: Chapter 1 is the dumbest of the dumb…
So after a lot of issues, I feel like a little transparency is always better. This is not a “We’re Back” as this last issue fix needs to marinate for a while. But I think I finally figured it out. Still, this is going to get techie so if…
Stanley Kubrick created some of the most iconic movies in cinema history. One of them was Full Metal Jacket. In the movie, Matthew Modine plays Private Joker and wears an iconic helmet with the words “Born to Kill” on it. Well, that’s too…
Donald Sutherland has passed away at the ripe old age of 88. From The Dirty Dozen to Kelly’s Heroes, M*A*S*H, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Animal House, Ordinary People, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Space Cowboys, Backdraft, and the Hunger…
The move is now complete. The server is faster, the site has been redesigned and while there is still some cleanup and such to do, we are in a much better place. Thanks to Boba Phil for getting the design done and all of you for your…
What the heck is going on? Here’s the history, the old hosting service can’t seem to help me figure out what’s wrong, their support is terrible and they are twice as expensive. So to get us going, I moved the site to here. You’ll notice…
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy was an idea that was kicked around decades ago, pre-The Next Generation. Proving once more that there is no such thing as an original idea in Hollywood, it is also the latest Star Trek series from Paramount and…
Since Madame Web arrived with barely a ripple, and left behind only a crater, Dakota Johnson has been famously snippy about the whole project and the whole concept of working on comic book movies. She started to show signs even as early as…
There was a little bit of hope around Doctor Who. After the Chris Chibnall and Jodie Whittaker era was criticized for storylines that seemed more interested in pushing messages than fun and adventure, there were glimpses of a return to…
I said I wasn’t going to watch a moment of The Acolyte, no matter how many times I returned to Star Wars like an abused spouse – I know Star Wars loves me really, I just make it so angry sometimes. It’s my fault probably. I should probably…
OK folks, it is time to give an update on LMO’s status. All the issues this week, and again yesterday, are related to our hosting service. While sometimes these things happen, the level of support we’ve been able to get from them has been…
It has been going on for a decade since The Night Manager first screened. It was a six-part television series, and British spy thriller, based on the 1993 novel by John le Carré. I saw it live on TV when it was released and I remembered I…
The Fall Guy is basically the perfect date movie. It really is. It has romance, comedy, and strong female characters. Yet it does this without making the male lead into a clutz, it pokes fun at the movie business, and has good action and…
Putting the embarrassment of what happened at Warner Bros. around the new DCU behind him, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and his Seven Bucks Productions company have signed a first-look deal with The Walt Disney Company. The multi-year…
When we reviewed Rebel Moon: Parts 1 and 2 we weren’t all that positive. In a nutshell, Rebel Moon is Seven Samurai, A Bug’s Life, The Three Amigos, and the list goes on and on and on. The downside with Rebel Moon is that it was made by…
Do you remember when Marvel was a well-oiled, smooth production line that simply purred? Those days seem long gone, and the news that Blade has lost yet another director will do nothing to change the view that the wheels have fallen off at…
The Omega Man (1971) is an adaption of the book I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. It appropriately stars the legendary Charlton Heston. The Omega Man is a great title. Can the movie live up to it? Let’s find out… Gratuitously Long Personal…
We were focussing inwards, on fixing Last Movie Outpost for a few days, and what happens? One of the biggest deals in Hollywood collapses. Months of negotiations, millions in lawyers fees, meeting after meeting, and the merger talks…
