  The Sword and the Sorcerer 1982

  ★½ Watched 22 Mar 2025

  Trim this thing down to like 35 minutes (it wouldn’t be hard!) and you’ve kinda got something cooking, the opening set the bar so high that maybe the rest was always going to be a letdown. Recommend only if you’re trying to keep your sanity with the help of your robot friends.

  ★★★★ Watched 22 Mar 2025

  I’m on woo hoo mode. Why was a Saturday afternoon looney tunes movie the best behaved theater experience I’ve had in forever? Because they made a good movie.

  ★★★★ Watched 08 Aug 2023
