Movie Faceoff Mladen Rudman is a former journalist and technical editor. Del Stone Jr. is a former journalist and author. Together, they review the movies, current and past.

Together, they review their favorite movies, both current and past. They favor science fiction, but can sometimes be convinced to watch an action movie, children's animated show or, God forbid, a chick flick. They often disagree, which is part of the fun. Feel free to tell them how wrong they are.

Check it out - Mladen and I went to see "Evil Dead Burn" yesterday. Here's what we thought!

Mladen was too busy telling children Santa Claus doesn't exist, and telling Trumpers they won't be getting a $5,000 check from DOGE, to come with me to "Obsession." Too bad. He missed a pretty good horror flick.

“Obsession” Starring Michael Johnston as Bear, Inde Navarrette as Nikki, Cooper Tomlinson as Ian, Megan Lawless as Sarah, and others. Written and directed by Curry Barker. 1 hour, 48 minutes. Rated R. Theatrical release. Plot summary: A man who’s hopelessly in love with a pretty girl but can.....

Steven Spielberg's new movie "Disclosure Day" is being hailed as his best movie in 20 years, but what really matters is this: Does it pass the Del and Mladen acid test?

This week Mladen and I shift from science fiction to horror. When was the last time a scary movie actually scared you? For me, it was "The Grudge," although "It Follows" was a strong contender. Yesterday Mladen and I watched "Passenger," a new horror movie showing in theaters. Here is what we thought.

“Passenger” starring Lou Llobell as not-always-making-the-best-choice Maddie Brecker, Jacob Scipio as not-always-making-the-best-choice Tyler Genocchio, Melissa Leo as damn-I-didn’t know-that-a-neck-could-do-that Diana Larson, Miles Fowler as Lucas Tedesco and Alan Trong as Daniel, the onset v...

Not long ago I was fussing about horror movies that rely on jump scares and gore to generate tension. Then along comes "Hokum." Wow, thank you Damian McCarthy!

Mladen is once again MIA for this review, but that didn't stop me from seeing "Lee Cronin's The Mummy." This is not your father's mummy movie.

Mladen leads off this week's review of a movie available on Prime, since all the movies showing theaterically were either ones we'd already seen or they sucked.

"Kill Command" is a science fiction-action movie, the same genre as "Aliens," "Robocop" and "Predator." It came out in 2016 and appeared in a search of "hidden science fiction gems on Prime."

I need to speak with the Google brass about the accuracy - or inaccuracy - of their algorithm.

“Kill Command” Starring Vanessa Kirby as singularity Mills, Thure Lindhart as somewhat unlikeable Bukes, David Ajala as whoa-I-didn’t-expect-him-to-die-so-early Drifter, Mike Noble as hick Goodwin, Bentley Kalu as man-I-wish-I-had-those-biceps Robinson, and others. Directed by Steven Gomez. 1 ...
