Cereal At Midnight

Who could possibly have more reason to hate Cobra Commander than his own son?

The Kentucky town of Hopkinsville is the home of something of mythical proportions. Hopkinsville Community College is the home of Round Table Literary Park, a full-size creation of King Arthur's Round Table. They also host a realistic sword in the stone straight out of the Arthurian legend.

The original cycle of Mummy movies ends not with a roar, but with a whimper.

Adam West is gone. It happened Friday, June 9th, and it's somehow comforting to me that there's a good chance I was watching his work when it happened. It's become a habit for me and my daughter to watch a few episodes of the 1966 Batman  series at night, with the troubles of the day behind us. In those late hours, we can give ourselves over to the Technicolor world of Gotham City and its larger-than-life inhabitants without cynicism. We love seeing how Batman and Robin get out of each perilous cliffhanger, each deus ex machina ending more ridiculous than the last. Yes, Adam West was known for other work, but it was his turn as the Caped Crusader that made him an icon to me, and to millions of others. This is my tribute.

The cracks are starting to show.

If there's one town in America that can truly be considered "The Home of Superman," It's Metropolis, Illinois. We explore, visit the Superman Museum, and see how this one character has impacted the local community.

The terror comes home.

On March 27th, stuntman-turned-director Hal Needham's first movie,  Smokey and the Bandit,  turned 40 years old. If you've never seen the movie, please rectify this oversight immediately. Without it, there never would have been a Dukes of Hazzard, Burt Reynolds may have had a whole different career, and Jerry Reed might never have become a recognized music sensation and remained an unsung Nashville session musician. I, for one, am glad this wacky little movie exists. If you agree, join me in a toast to Bandit and the cops that were always just a little bit too slow to catch him. Keep your foot hard on the pedal and watch ol' Bandit run. Fans of Burt, Jerry, and Hal can read more about their work together HERE .

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?
