Spaceballs: The Review

During the ’80s, Mel Brooks directed “History of the World Part I.” Produced (his name uncredited) serious movies outside his comfort zone including “The Elephant Man” & “The Fly.” One parody film in particular pokes fun at “Star Wars.” Before “Spaceballs” was green-lit, Mel made a deal with George Lucas not a single piece of […]

Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale implemented time paradox as well as […]

In 2022, Disney announced they’re working on a live-action remake of […]

Luckily, “Thunderbolts*” managed to win back fans and movie goers like me. I didn’t expect it to be very good. As you […]
