Watchable kids movies are pretty rare these days, and most of that fare consists of weird rubberface CGI cartoons.  Which is why, if you have a kid in that 10-15 demographic, you should give Secret Headquarters a look. To get a few of the usual objections out of the way...

Now that we have the whole streaming services thing mastered, it’s high time we got past the 1990s assumption that films need to be at least 87 minutes long to deserve a release. This was inspired by Brian and Charles, one of those quirky low-budget high-concept British films.  It’s...

This is not a perfect film, and a few blunders prevent it from even reaching the level of “great”, but it is a film worth watching. The wife saw a recommendation for this on one of the alternate social media sites and dragged me, kicking and screaming, into a...

Warhammer Fantasy Battles has a reputation, at least so far as I’m aware of it, as a game that tends toward the line-’em-up and run-’em-straight at each other.  After a whopping two whole games of 6th edition under my belt, I’m now an expert.  So it’s safe for me...
