Black Cat (1991) Retro Review

3/18/2024
Today on the 5: Over the weekend I watched Black Cat, a 1991 action film that started out as an attempt to follow up La Femme Nikita. While it still feels very much like a remake of the 1990 French film, it works very well as a Hong Kong flavored version of that story.

We Can Do Better Than Cheeseburgers

3/14/2024
Today on the 5: Here are a couple of things you've likely heard someone say at some point in your life: "That's the world we live in" or "That's just the way it is". Usually, these phrases are used as a lazy and apathetic way to excuse something that shouldn't be. They also never fail to drive me crazy.

The Wide World Of Batwoman Retro Review

3/13/2024
Today on the 5: Thanks to a recommendation from Roejen over at Project Archivist, I watched a Batman ripoff film from 1966 titled The Wide World Of Batwoman. It looks like it was made for $50 and a 5 page script, but if you want to see a bunch of young women go go dancing and marvel at the global threat of an atomic hearing aid you're in for a good time!

Respecting My Time

3/12/2024
Today on rhe 5: I played the demo for Pacific Drive and had a good time with it. It was also great to many positive reviews of the game when it recently launched. I bought it, started platying it, and at first it was the same good time I had with the demo. Unfortunately, I very quickly ran into the same save issue others have, and it's shifted the game into park for me.

Roku's Continual Decline

3/12/2024
Today on the 5: In the latest evidence of a long slide down in quality, Roku is soft locking their devices if users refuse to accept new terms of service with a lousy opt-out mechanism. This is a scummy way of dealing with customers, and I'm increasingly glad I jumped off the Roku train a while ago.

Taking The Least Interesting Path

3/7/2024
Today on the 5: I knew a reboot of The Crow has been in the works for a while now, and I figured I'd judge it on how it took a fantastically adaptable concept and did somehting interesting with it. Sadly, the remake looks almost impressively lazy and uninspired. Does this thing have a chance at being anything besides a letdown?

Poor Things Review

3/6/2024
Today on the 5: Over the weekend I watched Poor Things, a movie that sounded like a bizarrely good time. It was an excellent film, but far weirder and more intense than I was expecting!

Gemin I'm Not Surprised

3/5/2024
Today on the 5: You may have seen some news stories and heated discussions over the Google Gemini LLM providing some wildly inaccurate responses on prompts for things like vikings or religious figures. To some extent, this feels like an inevitable result of the unrelenting hype and misinterpretation of this technology.

Surging With Stupidity

3/4/2024
Today on the 5: Based on some comments made by Wendy's CEO Kirk Tanner, reports started circulating that the fast food chain would be implementing "surge pricing" on food items. That was later changed to consideration of lowering prices at certain times, but either idea is monumentally stupid.

Palm Prememberance

2/29/2024
Today on the 5: As part of his excellent "When Phones Were Fun" series, Michael Fisher finally covered a phone I dearly miss. It was called the Palm Pre, and there are things about it I still wish I could get a modern phone with.

Cyberpunk 2077 Review

2/28/2024
Today on the 5: 4 years after release, I've finally played through the majority of Cyberpunk 2077. The gameplay itself and the story are both good, but the standout aspect of the game is the world it creates for you to bounce around in.

Sackboy A Big Adventure Review

2/27/2024
Today on the 5: While my wife and I have been sticking to board games a lot in recent years, there are still times where we like just firing up something digital and playing cooperatively. We've been playing through 2020's Sackboy A Big Adventure, and it is absolutely delightful.

American Fiction Spoiler Free Review

2/26/2024
Today on the 5: I have been hearing good things about 2023's American Fiction for a while now. I was already a fan of Jeffrey Wright, so I figured I'd watch the film once it hit streaming services. That was the plan, but then I decided I just wanted to watch it already and it was well worth the $20 rental!

The Nostalgia Trap

2/22/2024
Today on the 5: If you've been following the updates on the remake of Silent Hill 2, you might have seen some videos on the "combat trailer" that was released and the less than enthusiastic reactions to it. While I'm not overly optimistic about it myself, I wonder if this is one of those cases where no updated version would be anything other than a disppointment.

Thunder (1983) Retro Review

2/21/2024
Today on the 5: On the most recent episode of Len Kabasinski's Forgotten Movie Den, we covered a 1983 film titled Thunder. While the premise might make you think it's just another Italian ripoff film, it's a movie that manages to stand above most entries in this genre.

Mountaintop Motel Massacre Retro Review

2/20/2024
Today on the 5: I wanted a break from the mental overload that was Mad Bull 34, so I decided to watch something from one of my comfort genres, the early 80s low budget weird slasher. I landed on one titled Mountaintop Motel Massacre. It has a lot of flaws, but it also delivered a rare selection of characters I really liked.
