Review: After mostly negative feelings following the first five Leprechaun movies (especially the sequels), I hadn't planned on watching  Leprechaun 6: Back 2 Tha Hood . However, the movie my wife and I wanted to watch yesterday evening turned out to be unavailable and since we had no other readily available alternatives, I decided to bite the bullet and finish up the movie ser...

Review: My wife and I were both a bit tired out yesterday evening so I decided to find a movie to watch while we crashed on the couch. Despite quite a bit of hesitation after watching the previous four movies, I ended up picking Leprechaun 5: In the Hood . As it turned out, I probably should have picked a different movie. There are a lot of things wrong with this film, b...

Review: My wife and I began watching Leprechaun 4: In Space a couple nights ago, immediately following Leprechaun 3 but not finishing the movie until last night. After binge-watching this movie series this week, I think we will be pausing for a bit because I am pretty sure this film might have melted some of my brain. I guess I'll start with the good. My wife and I absolutely loved Princess Zarina (Carlton). My wife thought he...

Review: I was planning on waiting at least a few days before watching Leprechaun 3 . However, since we had Leprechaun 2 fresh in our minds, my wife and I decided to check out the next installment in the movie series last night instead. As it turns out, it was about what I t...

The movie stars Warwick Davis , Charlie Heath , Shevonne Durkin , Sandy Baron and James Lancaster . Review: It took me nearly 20 years to watch the first Leprechaun movie and since that time, I have seen the Jennifer Aniston-led original a few more times. However, when my wife and I watched Leprechaun 2 last night, it was the first time I had ever seen any of the sequels. While not as bad as I thought it would be, the film failed to convince me I was missing much. The plot of the movie is fairly simple (in a good way). The leprechaun (Davis) has a pre...

However, he ultimately joins forces with an outcast swordsman to help defeat the queen. Who's in it? The movie stars Warwick Davis , Val Kilmer , Joanne Whalley , Jean Marsh and Billy Barty . Review: My wife and youngest daughter were at a high school basketball game yesterday evening so I convinced my oldest daughter to watch a movie with me. This was one of my favorite films growing up and I figured she would enjoy it too so I picked it out. Even though I remembered enjoying this movie when I was a teenager, it had been about 20 years since I last saw it and, because of that, I was a little worried it wouldn't be as good as I r...
