Happy Birthday To My Furbaby

I want you to help me wish my furbaby, Skitty, a happy 13. I nearly lost her a few months ago as she was barely eating during much of the month of November.   As Thanksgiving approached, I was a day away from taking her to the vet to have her put down. But then, as the weekend beforeContinue reading “Happy Birthday To My Furbaby”

Old Hat For ‘Friday The 13th Part VII: The New Blood’

The following post contains spoilers!  After the fan backlash over Friday the 13th : A New Beginning which attempted to take the franchise in a different direction where Tommy Jarvis turns into a killer following too much trauma, Jason Vorhees was brought back from the dead in the sixth movie.   Incidentally, the fifth movie made more money compared to its meager budget asContinue reading “Old Hat For ‘Friday The 13th Part VII: The New Blood’”

Six Years Ago Today We Started Taking Covid-19 Seriously

I was recently watching Outbreak. I think I had seen it once or twice between now and early March 2020. But it seemed like a strange coincidence the movie premiered on March 10, 1995. And I didn’t think it would actually turn into a fucking documentary. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declaredContinue reading “Six Years Ago Today We Started Taking Covid-19 Seriously”

‘War Machine’ Stalls On Cliches

The problem with a movie like War Machine is that it’s two different cliched stories that never do make for an entertaining feature. It’s basically An Officer and a Gentleman meets Predator.   It’s the type of movie they used to release in the 1990s and 2000s in movies during the less active months before they were regulated to video rental shops and TBS’ Movies For Guys Who Like Movies. Part ofContinue reading “‘War Machine’ Stalls On Cliches”

‘Bugonia’ Is Terrible Drivel

Sometimes I feel a few filmmakers are just trolling us by making some of the worst movies imaginable only to have A-listers willing to appear in them and critics savor them.   I’ll admit Yorgous Lanthimos is an acquired taste. Yet, I think he’s trying so hard to be the next John Waters, except Waters actually knew he was making bad movies and his throw it all on the wall attitude showed in hisContinue reading “‘Bugonia’ Is Terrible Drivel”

‘One Battle After Another’ Is A Thrill Ride Despite Rocky Start

In my mid-20s, I began to start reading William Faulkner novels but really couldn’t get into them. After reading about 100 pages of Absalom! Absalom!, I gave up and returned the book to the library. A family friend said I should’ve read page 101.   Well, no. I believe an author has a 30-40 page limit to get you involved into their work before youContinue reading “‘One Battle After Another’ Is A Thrill Ride Despite Rocky Start”

Daylight Savings Time Begins

Well, Daylight Savings Time begins again from now until Nov. 1.   And of course, the $64,000 question is why do we keep doing this? Can’t we keep time permanent? We created it. It’s not like it’s moving mountains.   The first week or so during this period is the worst time for people. Our bodies are off their system. Statistically, thereContinue reading “Daylight Savings Time Begins”

I Ate The Big Arch From McDonald’s So You Don’t Have To

I normally don’t eat at McDonald’s anymore. It’s not because I don’t like a good quarter pounder, it’s just that their prices have skyrocketed and they don’t offer many deals as other fast food places do. If I do get anything, it’s usually something off the value menu. I was going to try the BigContinue reading “I Ate The Big Arch From McDonald’s So You Don’t Have To”

Antiquarian Book Fair This Weekend In St. Petersburg

If you’re going to be in the St. Petersburg, Fla. area this weekend, check out the Antiquarian Book Fair at the Historic Coliseum. I went last year and it’s a wonderful site for book lovers. I had planned to go this year too but wasn’t able to. My family friends will have a booth thereContinue reading “Antiquarian Book Fair This Weekend In St. Petersburg”
