The fourth Ernest film to reach the box office, this cult classic and modest hit features Ernest (Jim Varney) and his dog, Rimshot, teaming up with some children to put the proverbial genie back in the bottle, or in this case, the troll back in the tree.

2024/09/19

Before Thomas Jane, Ray Stevenson, and Jon Bernthal, we had the original Punisher, Dolph Lundgren! Due to the financial woes of its studio, The Punisher (1989) was a direct-to-video release in the United States while the rest of the world was blessed to see it on the big screen.A solid film, this movie has garnered a cult following despite being out-of-print and hard to stream (legally). The biggest crime against this movie is the lack of the iconic skull, but Dolph is Frank Castle.

We've been lied to our entire lives. King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962) is not a bad movie. At least if you watch the Japanese version of the film.
