K986 Terminal

In space, everyone can read your opinions.

A collection of reviews from multiple parties, along with some extra audio fun.

Independence Day (1996)

July 04, 2024  /  Ken Rupracht

We've always believed we weren't alone. On July 4th, we'll wish we were.

Would you believe me if I said that there’s a perfect movie for tonight, and yet I haven’t done it? Of course you would, I’ve not done obvious movies a ton and heaven knows how many movies I thought I did and never actually did. In this case, I’ve even done the sequel and not the original, so just further shame to the pile I suppose. Anyways, let’s correct it and go back to a classic I’ve seen dozens of times already but wouldn’t mind watching again, because today is Independence Day.

Memories (1995)

June 27, 2024  /  Ken Rupracht

In the future, present or imaginary world, Memories reveal themselves, like roses' petals opening.

You know what I really, really haven’t done in a while? An anthology flick. So tonight I bag two windows with a single rock, as one of my buddies has also been wanting to watch more anime. Admittedly, I’ve seent his before - that much isn’t entirely a surprise - but I also really only recall two parts of it from memory - and one part is cheating because it was attached to a music video that i really liked that caused me to seek out the movie when that became a thing that could be done - that’s the power of those home made music videos back before the slightest amount of audio on something like youtube would get a video flagged and taken down forever. Anyways, as much fun as it is to reminisce, we should probably go and take a look at a different set of Memories.

Beetlejuice (1988)

June 20, 2024  /  Ken Rupracht

Say it one… Say it twice… But we dare you two say it THREE TIMES!

There is a never ending quantity of movies that I’ve watched where I swear I at some point already dealt with them on this website as a review - only to find out that I, across the 600 or so ones I have done, in fact have not done so. It’s been a bit of a theme for the last two years now, and honestly it’s starting to make me feel a bit senile. Well, my brain and memory might think I’m as old as dirt, but I’m not dead yet -unlike some of our characters tonight. Let’s take a trip back in time to that movie that spawned a cartoon for a character that really should not have been pitched to kids - tonight we hang with Beetlejuice.

Day Shift (2022)

June 13, 2024  /  Ken Rupracht

Some jobs really go for the throat.

The night has finally come. Tonight we get a fiesty little feast out on the coast, filled with glamor and blue collar how to. Vampires in a new light, if you would. Sure, we’ve seen countless take on vampires, even out in ole California, but this one’s up to date and promises fun, so buckle up your seat belt. Grab your pickup and get ready for some work, tonight we check out Day Shift.

The Fall Guy (2024)

June 06, 2024  /  Ken Rupracht

Fall Hard

The movie that waits for the full crew continues to wait for the full crews, so I decided to pocket a movie that looked like a lot of fun in the trailers. It’s another one of those ones where every time I see something about it’s always some kind of complaint about this or that, and I don’t know - I’m just not buying that this movie isn’t going to be fun from the trailer. Maybe it’s because I’m not familiar with the original show, so I just don’t have all the baggage of past plots and traits to go along with - but no matter how you cut it you show me a movie about a stunt actor getting into shenanigans I think i’ve probably enjoying myself. I hope you aren’t afraid of heights, tonight’s movie is The Fall Guy.

Atlas (2024)

May 30, 2024  /  Ken Rupracht

The future of humanity is in her hands.

Got a fresh new one for everyone tonight. This year’s charity stuff is themed around mechs - you know, those wonderful giant robots piloted by folks made famous by such known franchises as Gundam and Mechwarrior. Given that fact, it only makes sense to me that when a new giant robot movie comes out I have to get up on it quick. This one seems to be a bit of a wiffle-waffle at the bat when it comes to reviews, so let’s see what I think about it. Tonight we find out if the world is on it’s shoulders, tonight we watch Atlas.

Sukiyaki Western Django (2007)

May 23, 2024  /  Ken Rupracht

An epic tale of blood, lust and greed.

Tonight’s entry is an interesting one. All of my primary targets for tonight ended up having to get rescheduled, so I went instead to an older one that’s new for folks watching with me. Do you like westerns? Do you like Japanese feuding sides flicks? Did you ever think about how similar the two movies could be when that mysterious stranger comes rolling in? Get ready for something I’m sure a person out there will probably get a little bent out of shape about - tonight we watch Sukiyaki Western Django.

Freelance (2023)

May 16, 2024  /  Ken Rupracht

Retirement didn’t suit him

Another week, another slew of trailers. Another slew of trailers, another victor. On this fine night the winner looks to be one part comedy , one part action so we’ve got plenty of promise based on trailer alone. Oh yeah, and that guy nobody can see is in there to - yeah, you know, that Cena fella! Second guess your life choices, it’s time to go Freelance.

Arcadian (2024)

May 09, 2024  /  Ken Rupracht

Beware of the Dark.

One of the options from last week reappears as this weeks movie. A splash of horror thriller, a little mysterious monster, and everyone’s cherry on top Nicolas Cage. Trailers make it seem just as much a family bonding story as a monster flick - and I’ve never said it’s taken much to win me over when it comes to watching a movie. Board the windows and lock the doors before it gets dark, tonight we check out Arcadian.

City Hunter (2024)

May 02, 2024  /  Ken Rupracht

Don’t you know who he is?

As our typical fashion goes, I put together a collection of trailers and put them out to the crowd, and the crowd has chosen. Action comedy was the winner for tonight, and it’s a name that I recognize. No, not because of the source material - because there was a Jackie Chan movie of the same name that happened to include a scene where characters were getting transformed into Street FIghter characters and it was just as wacky as it sounds. How will this much newer version hold up? One can find out only one way really - time to take a stroll with City Hunter.

Hot Shots! Part Deux (1993)

April 25, 2024  /  Ken Rupracht

Just Deux it.

We did the first one last week, and I talked up the second as being one I enjoyed more, so it’s only fair we do it this week. The crew was back in town and nobody can say no to a good comedy so it was a pretty easy shoe in. Ramp up the antics, change the movie target focus, and go bust some heads - you got to set your goals high! Get back in the saddle and avoid weaponized chickens, tonight we hit Hot Shots! Part Duex.

Hot Shots! (1991)

April 18, 2024  /  Ken Rupracht

The mother of all movies!

Comedy night! Get your rose tinted glasses out of their keepsake bag, tonight we are gonna drop back a bit in time to one of those comedies whose sole existence is really to make fun of other movies. and all the tropes and stereotypes in them, while fitting in that sort of thing itself. You might argue if you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all - and honestly you probably aren’t really wrong - but we have fun being redundant anyways! It was right around when such wonderful flicks like Top Gun were all the rage, but don’t call it Shirley -tonight we sit back in our takeoff positions for Hot Shots!

Eye for an Eye: The Blind Swordsman (2002)

April 11, 2024  /  Ken Rupracht

I may have mentioned it at some point, but I’ve been watching a lot of a “tv” show that follows a character from some Detective Dee movies I watched a while back and really enjoyed. You can actually find those reviews on here somewhere, if memory serves me right. Well, anyways, what that means for tonight is I’ve been on a big Chinese action kick, so when I see something talking about a sword fighter who can’t see in the title, obviously I’m going to pick it to watch. So low and behold, here we are! We’ve heard plenty of a blind Japanese swordsman, but tonight we swim over to China to check out Eye for an Eye.

Sixty Minutes (2024)

April 04, 2024  /  Ken Rupracht

Desperate not to lose custody, a mixed martial arts fighter makes dangerous enemies when he ditches a matchup to race to his daughter's birthday party

Chase movies are always fun, but not always in cars. There’s something about a movie taking you on an entire trip across it’s span (even if it’s not trying to be a one cut thing) that has a charm. It’s enticing right? Is the person going to make it? What challenges will they face across the path? Well, tonight we’ll take a peak at how Germany does one thanks to our paid for friend Netflix - he’s in a race against time, and that time is Sixty Minutes.

There's Something in the Barn (2023)

March 28, 2024  /  Ken Rupracht

This Christmas ... you must respect your elf.

L:et us pivot from comedy to horror comedy. I’ll soften the blow by making it holiday themed for you - even if that holiday has already gone long by because it’s Christmas, but you know. Either way, what it comes down to is I saw a headline that compared it to Gremlins, and I really enjoyed that movie so why wouldn’t I give this a shot right? Tonight we tune into an American family in Norway, better sleep with your light on because There’s Something in the Barn.

The Machine (2023)

March 21, 2024  /  Ken Rupracht

To be a hero, it takes a lot of gut.

Keeping everyone on their toes this year, I’ve got a comedy movie for everyone tonight. In fairness, this is a request that’s been getting put off for a while as moods or majority votes go elsewhere, but tonight we finally got around to it! What happens when you take the story a comedian tells as part of his act and make a movie around it? Well, you get this movie and a very easy out for selecting the title. Tonight, we check out The Machine.

Outlaw Johnny Black (2023)

March 14, 2024  /  Ken Rupracht

From the Brothers Who Brought You Black Dynamite

You ever watch a movie and wonder why you haven’t really heard more about it? Perhaps you’ve found yourself looking at a movie and going “they can’t make a movie like that anymore.” I’ve been known to watch a movie simply because the box art, or in some instances even just because an actor I recognize or like is in it. I’ve also been know to look at a title and just watch whatever absolute filth they just threw at me on a shoe string budget as a passion project - so my ways aren’t always without their repercussions. Well, tonight’s movie is one of my adventures in finding movies with Micheal Jai White in them because my cousin loves his movies - and that’s good enough for me. Grab your chaps and a can of beans, tonight’s honey soaked biscuit takes out out to the wild west to see some adventures of Outlaw Johnny Black.

The Crow (1994)

March 07, 2024  /  Ken Rupracht

It Can't Rain All The Time.

Here to dig up the occasional movie from the past, I return with yet another fun one that people younger than me haven’t always seen and it never fails to somehow surprise me. Like, I don’t know why it comes as a shocker that someone hasn’t necessarily watched a movie older than they are, but here we are anyways. Diverting a bit from rounding out the unseen movies list that people have recommended and returning to terrain I’ve previously tread without a website, let’s see if this one holds up as well as we want it to. Tonight, we watch some folks make a grave mistake -this is The Crow.

The Creator (2023)

February 29, 2024  /  Ken Rupracht

Humanity evolves.

Working my way through my backlog list, one step at a time - this time with the intelligence to do it while it’s on a streaming service I already pay for so I don’t have to buy it separate to do a review! I’ve already seen a good bit of different scenes of this one, mostly on account of blowing up all that effects work - so despite some mild worries about the movie being preachy, I’m sold to have a good time at least in one department. Could be another situation of preaching to the choir this time - but the only way to find out is to watch. Plug in and make sure you aren’t set to standby, tonight we watch The Creator.

Orion and the Dark (2024)

February 22, 2024  /  Ken Rupracht

Hello Darkness, my new friend.

Tonight’s movie is a stand in because some plans changed - but it is one that’s been on my list since i saw the trailer. Charming, I would call the animation - and that’s really all it takes to sell me on a movie sometimes. A family flick that promises some classic family flick stuff with a nice art style isn’t exactly the rarest of movies - but that doesn’t mean it’s automatically bad or not worth watching, so let’s settle in and see what this bedtime story has to tell us about - tonight we watch Orion and the Dark.
