Marcus Flor and Tremors

I've always wanted to revisit Tremors (1990), as it gave me vivid nightmares as a kid. Watching it now, I had a completely different reaction. Tremors is a good 'ole fashioned monster romp with some fun characters and fun monsters. Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward's performances are a bit goofy at times, but still relatable. That relatability really helps us adjust to the creatures, with the two of them learning about the worms as we do. Those worms are some excellent monsters, brought to life with stellar practical effects. I also love how the threat of the worms keeps getting ramped up. Just when our characters think it's safe, the warms learn and a new challenge arises. All in all, this was a blast to revisit, and it's a solid flick. Definitely check it out, because it's a Good.

Shane Black brings back Remo Williams

Surprise! Days after Warner Bros said they were moving forward with a Mack Bolan movie,  Sony Pictures announces that Remo Williams , AKA The Destroyer, is headed back to the big screen. Like Bolan, Williams is the hero from a series of adventure novels. Oldish Basementites might remember that Fred Ward played the character in the over-the-top 80s flick Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins .
