CANNON MONTH: Masters of the Universe (1987)
As a 15-year-old, I absolutely hated this movie. He-Man was a known property with a series that was on TV every day, one of the best-selling toys and just about everyone knew everything there was about the mythos of Eternia, but the movie only spends a few minutes in Eternia and has human characters in […]
CANNON MONTH: Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
The Salkinds had made three Superman movies and planned a fourth if Superman III made at least $40 million. It made $80 million even if people absolutely hated it.

John Ireland, who is in stuff like Waxwork II: Lost in Time and Miami Golem after a career playing […]
Dingo (1991)
John Anderson (Colin Friels) has a passion for jazz, which will find him traveling from the outback Western Australia to the jazz clubs of Paris where he hopes to meet his idol trumpeter Billy Cross (Miles Davis). Probably the best part of this movie is the opening, as Davis and his band play a set […]
