The Invisible Man (1933)

In the March of Madness continues as, this week, we're taking a look at Universal Studio's malevolent, maniacal monster...The Invisible Man.

After Dr. Jack Griffin discovers a way to turn himself invisible, he runs off to a small isolated English village to find a quiet place to conduct his research into finding a way back to normal. But, he soon finds that the overly curious townsfolk, with their constant prying and interruptions, are infuriating him and push him further and further into an insane, murderous rage. On the run again, he goes on an invisible rampage, leaving the police baffled as to how to capture a murderer that they cannot see.

Directed by James (Frankenstein. Bride of Frankenstein) Whale and starring Claude Raines as Dr. Jack Griffin/The Invisible Man, the film is based on HG Wells' sci-fi story of the same name and is filled with (for the time) ground-breaking special effects!

Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto: Blade Runner

This week, we're taking a look at Ridley Scott's groundbreaking, visually striking 1982 movie, Blade Runner.

It tells the story of a retired cop, Rick Deckerd, who happens to be a former BLADE RUNNER, a specially trained breed of cop whose sole duty is to hunt down “replicants”, artificial beings created for hard labor off-world. Replicants are not allowed back on their home planet under pain of death, and that’s where Deckerd comes in, he’s pulled out of retirement for the purpose of hunting down 4 of these escaped replicants who have returned to Earth to question their creator, Elden Tyrell.

While investigating the Tyrell Corporation, Deckerd learns that there is a 5th replicant on Earth, Tyrell’s assistant, Rachel, however, she is unaware that she is a replicant because she has been implanted with the memories of Tyrell’s niece.

Now Deckerd not only has the problem of hunting down the original 4 replicants, he seems to be developing feelings for Rachel who, herself, isn’t human.

Drink 'til it's good - Highlander 2: The Quickening

The year is 2024...

That opening statement is pretty much the only thing that the film, Highland 2 got right.

For, what happens when a sequel totally ignores the rules the first film established?

What happens when the film's backers get rid of the director and edit the film without his input?

What happens when pretty much everyone involved, including the film's lead actors want out but can't escape due to contractural obligations?

What happens when the finished film is such a mess because of interference by the producers and studio that the director releases his "Renegade Cut" of the film to correct those mistakes (but only just barely)?

The year is 2024...and we're doing our first "Drink 'Til It's Good" of the year with a look at Highlander 2: The Quickening!

Rebel Moon: A Dumpster of Fire???

Zack Snyder is back with his latest movie made exclusively for NETFLIX. The story goes that, back in the day, ol' Zack wanted to play in Lucasfilm's sandbox but they said "No!" so, Zack picked up his action figures (characters with names like Bloodaxe and Nemesis), went home and said "I'm gonna make my own Star Wars but with hookers and blackjack!"

Ok, that's only sort of true but, nonetheless, we have Rebel Moon part one: A Child Of Fire, loosely based on Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai. What did we all think? Tune in and find out!
