Another well done documentary from Laurent Bouzereau, this time covering both Indiana Jones and Harrison Ford with new and classic interviews timed to coincide with the fifth movie in the franchise.

NW: #BigTroubleInLittleChina

John Carpenter has made better films, even better films with Kurt Russell but Big Trouble in Little China remains my absolute favorite and not just in a guilty pleasure way, it’s a perfect B-Movie by design.

Fletch Lives remains the imperfect sequel to my ultimate comfort film that continues to become more enjoyable with each successive rewatch.

NW: #Fletch

My ultimate comfort film that never fails to bring a smile to my face, Fletch is filled with funny characters, memorable quotes and a lot of charm that the book lacks.

Well, that could have gone better.

I’m fatter, with higher blood pressure and I have to crap in a box and send it off through UPS.

Good times. Don’t get old kids.

Nighty-Nightmare by James Howe

This is the last of the series that I remember having read but I didn’t remember much and like the previous installments, it was pure fun, especially getting Chester’s version of Bunnicula’s origin.

NW: #NothingButTrouble

What an absolute fever dream of a dark comedy with the craziest sets and wackiest characters but I was never bored and I never knew where it was going.

NW: #TheATeam

Often loud and utterly ridiculous as it speeds breathlessly from the opening minutes to the end but a lot of fun as it hit me right in the nostalgia to make me feel like I was in my grandparent's basement with all my cousins on a Tuesday night in the 1980s.

Conan: The Halls of Immortal Darkness by Laird Barron

Such a great entry as Conan takes on the protection of a beautiful priestess in a well-written short with very beautiful prose and great twists that really had me guessing where it was heading.

Quarry’s Choice by Max Allan Collins

Quarry really is a fish out of water in this one as he travels on a personal assignment from The Broker that leads to Mississippi and the Dixie Mafia as the series rewinds to 1972.
