The 1990s were a strange time to be a baseball card collector. The hobby has never been more popular, while sets were expanding into crazy territory. The problem is, the first half of the 1990s were marred by the junk wax era, which is considered to have lasted from 1987-1994. During this period, it’s estimated that companies were producing three times as many cards as they had previously, fueled by greed and ever-increasing public demand. The era was ended by the baseball player’s strike of 1

MJ is larger than life and the most popular sports player to transcend pop culture. Michael Jordan (2/17/1963) was drafted by the Chicago Bull with the 3rd overall pick in the 1984 NBA Draft out of the University of

Of all the Valentine’s Day film releases in the US this year, Downhill was an odd one. A remake of 2014’s slightly obscure Force Majeure, the story centres around a couple whose marriage begins to fall apart after the husband leaves his family to die in a split-second decision. It hardly seems like the best subject matter for spending quality time with a loved one, but it’s presented as a black comedy at first. After all, Billie (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and Pete (Will Ferrell) make up the mai

Like a Boss is embarrassing at times. Essentially, it boils down to, “wow, they’re so different” ad infinitum, with shouted insults and half-baked jokes to pass the short runtime. They’re friends, then they’re not friends, then they decide that they’re friends again. Simple enough. Of course, you can strip down most movies to a base concept to make them appear worse than they actually are, but Like a Boss was never trying to win critical acclaim in the first place. It’s just trying to be funny,

Blumhouse has been somewhat successful with their plans to dominate the horror landscape. With the majority of their films being produced on a tight budget, the hits pay for the stinkers, and they all combine to form an enticing package of movies to sell on to international broadcasters. On the other hand, this means that for every Creep, there’s an Ouija (6% on Rotten Tomatoes), so you’re forced to wait and see during the first half-hour. Forebodingly, the opening scene of Fantasy Island

A One-Punch Man arena fighting game doesn’t make much sense conceptually. After all, Saitama should be able to beat anyone with a single blow, so how do they get around that tricky hurdle? Cleverly, he’s used as a timed limit-break, popping into the fray after a minute or so to deliver a tried-and-tested Normal Punch that will instantly KO any other fighter. Drawing from the popular anime and manga series, you create your own hero as you attempt to move up the ranks to S-Class. The story s

It feels like all I ever do is review remakes or reimaginings of stories that were far better when I was younger. Am I so out of touch? No, it’s the filmmakers that are wrong. Imagine you’re Robert Downey Junior, moving on from one of the biggest cinematic experiences the world has ever seen. Like Keanu Reeves after The Matrix, or Daniel Radcliffe when he finally set down his wizard robes for good. There must be a sense of confusion, while a lack of direction is only to be expected after a proj

At its heart, 1917 is a film about the horrors of war. No more, no less, it’s a cold look at life during WWI, with a dose of action and the trappings of a thriller to keep the heart pumping throughout. Lance Cpl. Schofield (George MacKay) and Lance Cpl. Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) are tasked with travelling over no-man's land in an effort to stop 1600 of their fellow soldiers from walking into a German trap. They’re given little to no chance of success before setting off on their suicide missi
