I got swept up in the mania leading up to the release of The Force Awakens. I went to the midnight premier! My hope was that it would redeem the disappointment I had in the prequel trilogy, and I felt it did exactly that. So much so that I removed the prequels from my Star Wars collection and they c...

I am a big fan of the 2001 movie From Hell starring Johnny Depp and Heather Graham. It is loosely based on a graphic novel about the Jack The Ripper murders in the Whitechapel district of East London in the late 1800's. The film is masterfully directed by the Hughes Brothers who created a perfect at...

For the upcoming 40th anniversary of the release of the Thriller short film, I wanted to go back and revisit the Making Of Thriller video. Released on VHS in the 80's, the Making Of Thriller became the biggest selling VHS of the 1980's which in no small way was due to the massive success of the Thri...

Wakanda Forever was never going to live up to the first Black Panther movie because it is missing the main character and the main star. This makes it a very tough act to follow, and while Wakanda Forever is not perfect it does a reasonable job of acknowledging the loss of Chadwick Boseman and trying...

After the totally entertaining Thor: Ragnarok, anticipation was high for the follow up, Thor: Love & Thunder. Unfortunately I felt this movie had too much forced humour, which made many of the jokes fall flat. There was also too much political correctness which just became a distraction and broke th...

King Kong 1976 is a version of its time, but is an interesting watch now. I feel this King Kong movie is largely forgotten, as most people will either think of the recent versions from Peter Jackson or the "Skull Island" Godzilla monsterverse, and purists refer to the original 1931 classic. With thi...

The 2017 Wonder Woman movie was a great superhero movie. It wasn't perfect, but in my opinion it could stand on its own as a very entertaining example of a comic book brought to life. So, I was highly anticipating the sequel, Wonder Woman 84, and while it is also very entertaining there were some is...

This version is a chronological recut that includes the full 3 hours of the 1972 original, the full 3 hours of The Godfather Part II sequel, plus an additional 1 hour of footage. The re...

Okay, so this is an old movie now but it has been on my to-do list for a long time. There was always a lot to like about Spider-Man 3, but unfortunately it felt conjested with too many side stories going on. I have always wanted to remove the Uncle Ben sub plot in this movie, and after getting inspi...

So I saw the theatrical release of The Mummy and I thought it was okay! They tried to introduce something new with the backstory on the burial place of Ahmanet, and Russel Crowe did a good job being a tormented Dr. Jekyll. You also see a hand of The Creature From the Black Lagoon, and a vampire skul...

https://www.avidentertainment.tv/post/2019/09/06/tron-1982-avid-remix

The original TRON from 1982 has always been one of my favourite sci-fi films. Ground breaking at the time, TRON pushed the limit in what Special Effects were possible for the day. The computer used for animation sequences only had 2 MB of memory, and no more than 330 MB of storage! The result of so....
