Cereal At Midnight

A new era demands a new mummy.

Well let me tell you something, Mean Gene! There's a nasty rumor going around that Hulk Hogan doesn't know how to wrestle, and that Hulk Hogan NEVER knew how to wrestle! Well I'm here to tell ya, BROTHER, that's a bunch of garbage, DUDE! You don't need to say your prayers, BROTHER! Forget the vitamins, DUDE! All the little Hulkamaniacs out there need to do if they wanna drop a leg on that heinous rumor is watch his work in Japan, BROTHER! Whatcha gonna do when HULK HOGAN and Japanamania run wild on YOU?

A new Mummy movie is looming from Universal with promises (threats?) that it's the first of a new shared universe (a "Dark Universe," if you will) that will revive all their classic monsters for modern popcorn munchers. Because the marketing machine is in full swing, all the previous Mummy movies have just been re-released, with some of them restored in HD for the first time.What better excuse to binge on classic horror? In this inaugural installment, we're looking at the film that started it all: 1932's The Mummy .

He's one step closer to the edge and he's about to break.

No franchise has more spin-off material than Star Trek. Over the last fifty-plus years, there have been hundreds of novels and tie-in books, multiple comic book runs, audio dramas, games, and more. Collectively, this material provides over a thousand stories that exist outside the official Star Trek continuity, and some of them are real gems that should not be overlooked. From time to time, we'll highlight one of these stories and examine it. These are The Continuing Missions. In this installment, we'll look at "The Trial of James T. Kirk" from DC Comics.

James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2  is such a big hit with both audiences and critics alike that even the songs from the movie are a big deal. What does this mean? A lot.

Two new cinnamon cereals are competing for the right to be the champion of the cereal aisle. Let's take a look at both, compare them, and see which one comes out on top, Thunderdome style!

Answering the age-old question: if a killer tree stalks the woods and no one is around for it to murder, does it make a noise?

Indiana Jones is back in the news this week after Disney/Lucasfilm announced that they were pushing the release date of Indiana Jones 5  from Summer 2019 to July, 2020, and we can't wait to see the return of our favorite whip-wielding archaeologist. Here are five things that we do (and in some cases, DON'T) want to see in the fifth Indy film. 

Based on the title of this film, you would be forgiven for thinking this horror anthology from 1967 is the kind of movie you should avoid. After all, we've had a glut of "torture porn" crap over the last 10-15 years where legitimate creeps have been replaced by what amounts to an endurance test of the worst kind. There is actually no torture in  Torture Garden , nor is there any real gore. No,  Torture Garden  is actually an old-fashioned, comic-book style horror film in the same vein as  Creepshow, Tales from the Darkside,  or even  Trick 'r Treat.  Let's be clear up front though, this movie is nowhere near as good as those. Still, it replicates--in movie form--the thrill of entering a carnival fun house and not knowing what you're going to see.

With nostalgia gaming at a fever pitch, it's only natural that Capcom has resurrected six of their most beloved Nintendo games and repackaged them for a whole new generation.

You wanted the best, you got the best.

In this four-color festival of the fantastic, we open a shipment featuring the entire run of Aquaman's New 52 run from DC Comics. Plus, Southern Superman, a character destined to become a worldwide sensation, makes his first appearance!

 No hero has been as misunderstood and taken for granted over the last few years as Superman.

The biggest wrestling show of the year has come and gone. Was it the equivalent of Hulk Hogan body slamming Andre the Giant, or was it the second coming of the Gobbledy Gooker?

Over a thousand episodes of classic cartoons are coming soon to a streaming device near you!

It's Wrestlemania Week, and millions of rasslin' fans have the squared circle on their minds. Today, I'm taking a look back at an '80s superstar and what could have been.

With several new cinnamon-flavored cereals making their debut on crowded shelves nationwide, the question on everyone's mind is "Who will be the last cereal standing?" Begun, the Cinnamon War has. Let's stick a spoon in the new offering from Kellogg's and see how it fares.

I'm in a Dokken mood and wanted to share this. Here's an acoustic performance of one of my favorite Dokken songs, "Dream Warriors," written for the soundtrack of A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors . I believe this particular performance is taken from the band's  Japan Live '95 DVD, which features the original group, reunited after having gone their separate ways for a few years .   I love this song, but I think I love it even more in this stripped down interpretation where the melodies can really shine. Plus, check out those outstanding harmonies from bassist Jeff Pilson! This is one that Don still occasionally performs acoustically at some of his shows.

DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES.

Burt Reynolds spent a lot of the 1970s making movies that were set in the rural south and are sometimes called "hick flicks." With the two Gator McKlusky movies, we have one of his best and...another one.

In the wake of Chuck Berry's passing, the Berry Family and Dualtone Records have released "Big Boys," the first single from his final studio album. Long in development and announced last October,  Chuck  will finally be released on June 16. I can't wait. This music sounds fantastic, as if no time has passed since he first burst onto the scene in the fifties. I had wondered what rock and roll must sound like at the age of 90, and this is the answer: it sounds like Chuck Berry. Preorder Chuck  from Dualtone Records  HERE.

Somewhere in Georgia lies a small town that goes by the name of Santa Claus. Though the main square is only about the size of a city block, the entire area has been branded with Christmas theming all year long.

This is my requiem for the Brown Eyed Handsome Man.
