        Hey guys, Chuck here. And, I am saddened to say that yesterday, Hollywood legend Robert Duvall passed away at the age of 94. So, to commemorate his memory, I decided to take a look at one of his movies that I haven't discussed yet: 1990's Days of Thunder.  Directed by Top Gun  director Tony Scott and produced by Top Gun  producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer, Days of Thunder stars Tom Cruise, Robert Duvall, Michael Rooker, Nicole Kidman, John C. Reilly, Cary Elwes, and Randy Quaid.         The movie introduces us to Harry Hogge, a former crew chief and car.builder who left NASCAR after the driver of one of his cars died in a fatal race accident. However, Harry is approached by Chevrolet dealership tycoon Tim Daland to build another car for a new racer he's recruited named Cole Trickle. And, while Harry is a bit uncertain, Cole manages to set a fast time in a private test, securing Cole a spot driving for Harry, wh...

      Hey guys, Chuck here. This year marks the sixty year anniversary of the sci-fi franchise Star Trek . So, I decided to do something fun and discuss two of my favorite episodes of Star Trek : one from The Original Series and one from Deep Space Nine .        The episode I want to start with is the 1967 TOS episode The Trouble with Tribbles . In the episode, the Enterprise is summoned on a priority call to Deep Space Station K7, where undersecretary Nilz Baris, who needs Captain James T. Kirk to help protect a shipment of hypergrain being shipped to a Federation colony planet. Annoyed by the wasted use of the priority distress call by Baris, Kirk decides to use the opportunity to allow the crew of the Enterprise some shore leave.        It's here where both Ensign Chekov and Lt. Uhura meet a dealer named Cyrano Jones, who is showing off a small furry creature called a tribble. And, of course, Uhura is taken in by how adorable the...

       Hey guys, Chuck here. Well, it's been a bit since I talked about anything WWE related. And, well, I just got done with watching the latest WWE Royal Rumble event, which was held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. We had a few entertaining matches, including both the Men's and Women's Royal Rumble matches. So, who won, and who punched their ticket to this year's WrestleMania in Las Vegas? Let's find out.        So, before we get to the two Royal Rumble matches, here's some of the other matches. First, we had A.J. Styles vs. Gunther, in which if A.J. lost, his storied wrestling career, which includes stints in wrestling promotions like TNA, Ring of Honor, and WWE, would be over. And, unfortunately, Gunther was the big winner, meaning that A.J. Styles' career is over. Second, we had the Undisputed WWE Championship match between Drew McIntyre and Sami Zayn, which saw McIntyre retain the title.         And now, we have the two Roy...

      Hey guys, Chuck here. The Japanese light novel All You Need is Kill  is widely considered one of the more unique light novel stories, as it follows a soldier in an endless war against an alien invasion force, only to discover that he's gained the ability to reset the day when he dies, and he and others use this ability to turn the tide in the war. And, with a new anime film adaptation of All You Need is Kill  set for release soon, I thought it would be an interesting idea to take a look at the novel's 2014 live-action adaptation: Edge of Tomorrow , directed by Doug Liman and starring Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Noah Taylor, Bill Paxton, and Brendan Gleeson.         So, in the near future, an alien race known as the Mimics arrive on Earth, landing in Europe, and begin their invasion. A few years later, the world sets up the United Defense Force, a joint military coalition made up of multiple countries military forces, to combat the Mim...
