Rating The Star Trek Films (Part Two)
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Apr 24, 2013
This blog deals with the big screen adventures of the Star Trek: The Next Generation crew. The TNG cast only made four movies, and while none of them are as terrible as say, STAR TREK V, none of them are as great as STAR TREK II. The term "missed opportunities" can certainly apply to the TNG movie e read more
Rating The Star Trek Films (Part One)
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Apr 23, 2013
The hype machine is already being cranked up for next month's debut of the new Star Trek feature from J. J. Abrams. I'm not all that particularly excited about this latest re-imagining/re-working/re-interpretation of the Star Trek Universe--but it gives me an excuse to discuss the entire Star Trek m read more

42
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Apr 21, 2013
42 is a movie I really wanted to see. But I also felt a bit trepidatious. If there's anything I love more than movies, it's baseball. Because of that, I was fearful that 42 might be filled with typical sports-film cliches and various historical and technical mistakes. I needn't have worried--42 is m read more

INDESTRUCTIBLE MAN
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Apr 19, 2013
How low-budget is INDESTRUCTIBLE MAN? It's so low-budget, they couldn't even put a "THE" in the title.
INDESTRUCTIBLE MAN has long been a staple of public domain home video. Retromedia Entertainment has now released the film on DVD in enhanced 1.66:1 anamorphic widescreen. The picture quality still read more

Chaplin And Keaton
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Apr 16, 2013
Today is Charlie Chaplin's birthday. A lot of bloggers are writing posts about him, and Turner Classic Movies has been showing Chaplin films all day. I suppose I should write a post....but the thing is, with all due respect to the Little Tramp, I'm more of a Buster Keaton fan.
Mind you, I'm fully a read more

Lon Chaney
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Apr 8, 2013
Lon Chaney's birthday was April 1. I was going to write a blog about him last week, but some important things (like the beginning of the 2013 MLB season) took precedence.
Lon Chaney is of course best known for being The Man of a Thousand Faces. His unique makeup skills enabled him to play a ra read more

This weekend I am participating in a Chaney (Sr. and Jr.) Blogathon, hosted by the sites Movies Silently and The Last Drive In. This is my post for Lon Chaney Sr. I wrote it earlier this year on Chaney's birthday, and it represents what the senior Chaney means to me personally.

THE BAD NEWS BEARS GO TO JAPAN
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Apr 5, 2013
If THE BAD NEWS BEARS IN BREAKING TRAINING is an example of a movie sequel that works, THE BAD NEWS BEARS GO TO JAPAN is a prime example of one that doesn't. This 1978 film was the final original Bears entry, and it's easy to see why there weren't any others made after this.

THE BAD NEWS BEARS IN BREAKING TRAINING
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Apr 1, 2013
In Issue #172 of Video Watchdog, Quentin Tarantino listed his Top 50 Best Movie Sequels. Coming in at No. 19 was THE BAD NEWS BEARS IN BREAKING TRAINING. This is a movie that is written off by most as nothing more than a quickie attempt to continue the success of THE BAD NEWS BEARS. But there's a lo read more
