Masters of the Universe, a.k.a the He-Man movie is an odd duck of a film. By no means is it a great movie, probably not even a good movie, but damn do I love this film. Sure it’s cheesey and most of the stuff that takes place on Earth is pretty bad, but Frank Langella as Skeletor is up there was one of cinema’s most menacing villains. He took the role because his son loved the cartoon and he played it like Shakespeare (Richard III and Hamlet were his inspirations).
In the end the film is a mixed bag but one I still enjoy to this day, so in honor of it’s 30th Birthday, here are 7 things you didn’t know.
Where are my manners, allow myself to introduce... ah... myself. I'm Josh, I'm a proud dad and I will probably write the majority of the content you see on this site (and editing 100% of it) because that's my background, writing. I'm an author of two books (Ripper, and Suburban Sky: American Tales) with books three and four on the way... eventually.
I also have experience writing for various sites, including Bleacher Report, Redskins101, and more currently you can find me at Goingfor2.com where I write a weekly-ish satirical column.
Here are the links to my books if you wish to check them out.

So that's me in a nutshell. I hope you enjoy the site.
