More Thor Movies

Source of inspiration: the Thor movies Marvel Comic’s The Mighty Thor (2011) and Hammer of the Gods (2009), and how Vikings never wore horns on their helmets, except during moments of prayer.

In particular, Hammer of the Gods is about a young Viking named Thor who realizes (through tummyache-inducing dream-visions) that he is in fact the genuine Mighty Thor—God of Thunder.  Only he is powerless without his hammer, as we see here in this film clip:

The legendary hammer is, in fact, locked away in a temple on a mountaintop, guarded by a couple of unlikely villains:

1) a tribe of mostly hairless werewolves (mainly covered in black paint to cut back on hair effects, which can be quite costly on movie productions)

2) a traitorous Viking in Thor’s midst (but Thor saw it coming, especially after they waved swords at each other, menacingly, from opposing cliffsides).

Old Time Radio – Harry Potter Legacy Review

Source of inspiration: Frank M. Robinson’s radio play The Girls from Earth, appearing on the show “X-Minus One” in 1957, in which Earthmen on Mars drink Muggle Juice, and how muggle is now a famous word in Harry Potter history.

(Muggle has also been used other times, as far back as Lewis Carroll, creator of Alice in Wonderland … but Robinson’s usage of muggle inspired me more for some reason.  Very marketable.)   For the text version of the play, click here.

Stan Lee’s Lightspeed – superfast review!

Source of inspiration: Stan Lee’s superhero movie Lightspeed … a review in pictures.

Anaconda –Trickiest Trilogy Ever

Source of inspiration: the Anaconda movies, and how celebrities only star in parts 1, 3, and 4.  Pictured here is John Rhys-Davies, the bearded budy Sala from Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.  He played in Anaconda 3 and 4, as a millionaire who spends his time financing the genetic alteration of anacondas … and also reading silently from big thick books (the dictionary?) while standing at a podium.

Termination Point – the Never-Ending Movie Review!

Source of inspiration: the movie Termination Point starring Lou Diamond Phillips, and how I copied the exact time teleportation machinery used in the movie.

Ghouls – a movie of ghoulish mystery

Source of inspiration:  the fantasy horror movie Ghouls., and how the some humans in Romania are spy agents working for the ghouls, and how between action scenes our hero  calms down by gazing at his ghoul-slewing keepsake.

The Hive—a Busybody Movie Review

Source of inspiration: the sci-fi movie The Hive, how it’s about super-smart killer ants in a rainforest, and how our heroes are  super-advanced bug exterminators Team Thorax, and a rainforest dictator that says, “We will not negotiate with ants!”

Copperhead – a snakebit movie review

Source of inspiration: 2008’s movie Copperhead, involving a swarms of cowboy’s worst enemy, plus a suprise big monster, and how copperheads lose and re-grow their fangs up to four times a year.

100 Million BC – Time Out Movie Review!

Army guys! Time travel! Dinosaurs!

Yes, that about sums up this movie, 100 Million BC (not to be confused with Raquel Welch’s One Million Years BC).

Yet there is so much more! Remember the Philadelphia Experiment, that true story that allegedly never took place during the 1940s? Well, apparently, scientists from that experiment were transported back—way, way back!—to the age of dinosaurs.

And then some army guys go through time to rescue them.

But it’s the scientists who are the real heroes of this movie. Living in the past has made ‘em tough. Like … killing raptors and pterodactyls and outwitting a big reddish-looking T. Rex known as Big Red … that kind of tough. They can even jump from a helicopter twenty feet high above the ground with the ease and skill of Jedi Ninjas!!

The only thing weighing these guys down is perhaps their science. It’s a bit heavy.

WARNING: *Scientifically Challenged Spoiler Alert*

Time travel involves poking your pointy finger at a little handheld device … thereby activating the much larger Rainbow Device, which we really don’t need (depending on where we are in the movie) … as long as the presiding scientist can somehow generate enough exotic matter to penetrate the space/time continuum with a sparkly blue wormhole, otherwise known as a singularity.

Now, if you will excuse me, I need to go have a time out to think about what I just said.

Want more dinosaurs?
