Are You the One they Call Beowulf?

Last year, I wrote about checking out Friday the 13th III in its original 3-D form. It was awesome in its own love for the fledgling technology, placing broomsticks precariously close to the audience’s eyes or popping popcorn into the third dimension for like 20 minutes. Well, the technology has come a long, long way, [...]

Voight in Tights!

When you’ve seen as many Grieco-worthy pictures as I have, you start to become a bit desensitized to crap. That’s why I get really excited when I see a part of a movie that’s so absurd it truly blows my mind. I had one of these glorious moments this past weekend.
After celebrating the [...]

Real Dragons, Bro. Real Dragons

If you’re a regular GIK reader you know that I’m a big fan of dragon pictures. I’ve delved into the lore of the mighty beast of yore by reviewing such films as Darkest Knight and Dragonslayer, and Reign of Fire is secretly one of my favorite movies. But my friends I do believe I may [...]

Tangerine Dream

I have loved the movie Legend for most of my life. I mean it has everything you could ever want in a film; a young wide-eyed Cruise with long hair, a short tunic, and the belief that he would someday conquer the world; sweet Mia Sara who as Sloan in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and [...]

Final Four (Game 2)

The Saint vs. Mazes and Monsters

In many ways, this is even a better battle than the last game. The Saint is clearly the prohibitive favorite of this tournament (say, like UCONN) and Mazes and Monsters is a movie that some would say never should have been in the tournament in the first place (you know, [...]

Jason X vs. Mazes and Monsters

Jason X
Finally, the Friday the 13th series reaches the pinnacle of absurdity as Jason, like Leprechaun and Pinhead before him, travels to space. Sure, when Jason took Manhattan it was ridiculous, but somebody had to clean up that godforsaken town, so it kind of made sense. Anyway, Jason X (for “10” but also for “extreme”) [...]

The Truth Shall Set Grieco Free

Now that you all know I haven’t seen The Chronicles of Riddick I figured I might as well come clean about some other films I have failed to see. The fact that I have missed some of these pictures brings me great shame. However, there are others on the list that I will avoid until [...]

More Dragons, Bro. More Dragons

My brother hates the movie Dragonslayer. It came out almost 25 years ago when he was10 and he still brings it up, which I think is awesome. It’s not even a “that was a bad movie” kind of hate. Oh, no. He hates Dragonslayer like I hate Erin Brockovich. I mean come on! They gave [...]

Original. Not Cool Ranch

I had a horrible dream last night. I was trapped in the body of a jetsetting seller of high-end watches and couture. I spent my days searching for the straightest pant leg in Manhattan and learning French phrases that I could drop to impress waitresses who desperately wanted to believe that I was somebody important.
After [...]
