Five Cool Things and Dune: Part Three
As I’m about to start writing this week’s Five Cool Things, I once again remember I forgot to post the last one. It featured an excellent Japanese manga about killer spirals, The Bride!, a wonderful crime drama from Denmark called Bleeder, Hamnet, my new Arrow UHD of Excalibur, and the new trailer for Dune: Part Three. You can read all about it here.
Five Cool Things and Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice
Hello, and welcome to another addition of Five Cool Things. I did good this time as I’m posting this just one day after it hit Cinema Sentires. This time I’m talking about Kagemusha, Port of Shadows, Five Star Final, Face/Off and a new movie trailer. Come on over to Cinema Sentries to read all about it.
Five Cool Things and Jo Nesbo’s Detective Hole
I always seem to forget to post these things shortly after they go up at Cinema Sentries. I don’t know why other than that they don’t go up the moment I send them to that site. They go past an editor and then they decide when they want to actually publish it. By the time that happens I think I just forget all about it.
But here we are, a week after it did get published. This week I’m talking about Bob Weir, the excellent Australian series The Newsreader, the final season of Stranger Things, The Vast of the Night, Send Help, and the trailer for a new TV series based on Jo Nesbos’ popular crime novels. You can read all about it here.
Five Cool Things and The Bride!
We are about to get hit by a massive snowstorm and ridiculous cold (for Oklahoma, which means about 10 inches of snow and temperatures around -5). Or so they say. I don’t really trust weather predictions around here. We could just as likely have record-breaking heat. It looks like large swaths of the USA are going to get hit, so if you are in its range, stay safe.
While you are staying inside and keeping warm, I’ve got a few cool things you can check out, including an intense HBO series, a zombie sequel, a new release of an old book, an old remake of an even older comedy, a couple of Agatha Christie adaptations, and the first look at a retelling of the Frankenstein story.

Five Cool Things and The Death of Robin Hood
I’m back from the holidays, refreshed and ready to talk about more cool things. This week I’m talking about Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde, Girl With Hyacinths, The Naked Gun, Over the Garden Wall and The Princess Bride. Click here to learn more.
Five Cool Things and “Fairytale of New York”
With all the holiday happenings I forgot to post this when I wrote it. I’ll actually have a new Five Cool Things here in a couple of days. I hope everyone had a good holiday and that we are all refreshed and ready to conquer a new year.
For this post I’m talking about the new Knives Out movie, the new Running Man movie, a new to me song from a band I’ve never heard of before, a newish song from Hayes Carll and a Christmas song from The Pogues. You can read all about it over at Cinema Sentries.
Five Cool Things and Ready or Not 2: Here I Come
While I did forget to write a Pick of the Week this week I absolutely remembered to write my Five Cool Things. This week the focus was on some movies that came out in 2025 including Train Dreams, A House of Dynamite, She Rides Shotgun, and The Man in My Basement, plus a David Byrne concert and a trailer for an upcoming horror movie.
You can read all about it over at Cinema Sentries.
Five Noir Things and The Maltese Falcon
I’ve been a little remiss with my Noirvember postings, but I’m making up for it with this week’s Five Cool Things. I decided to write about nothing but film noir in this week’s edition. Films include To Have and Have Not, Cairo Station, Out of the Fog, Hell Drivers, Kansas City Confidential and The Maltese Falcon. You can read all about it here.
