‘The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial’ Is William Friedkin’s Fitting Swan Song

Going into The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial, it’s important to know three things. One – this is an adaptation of a play. Two – the play is an adaptation of a movie and a novel. And three – the movie The Caine Mutiny is considered a classic and one of Humphrey Bogart’s finest performances. It wouldContinue reading “‘The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial’ Is William Friedkin’s Fitting Swan Song”

‘Air’ Soars On Stranger Than Fiction Plot

A movie like Air has a few problems but it’s one of those stranger than fiction stories that draws you in on the premise and leaves you entertained throughout the entire movie. It’s hard to believe in 2023 that in the early 1980s, Nike was struggling. Located outside of Beaverton, Oregon, the company that mostlyContinue reading “‘Air’ Soars On Stranger Than Fiction Plot”

The Wonderful Hot Mess That Is ‘Twilight Zone: The Movie’

The “Twilight” in Twilight Zone: The Movie is a perfect explanation for the movie. Twilight is when the sun is below the horizon but there’s still light disappearing into the darkness. Intended as an anthology displaying the various talents of several directors including Steven Spielberg and John Landis, who were also producers, the movie hasContinue reading “The Wonderful Hot Mess That Is ‘Twilight Zone: The Movie’”

Why The Sweet Book ‘Hair Love’ Is Being Banned Is A Head Scratcher

A lovely little book like Hair Love can be read within maybe five minutes, six if you look closer at the great illustrations. But why on Earth this book has been showing up on the banned lists and being pulled from libraries and schools is a wonder. The book was written by Matthew A. CherryContinue reading “Why The Sweet Book ‘Hair Love’ Is Being Banned Is A Head Scratcher”

The Bromance Of Joey And Chandler

I never did watch The Odd Couple 2010s series that Matthew Perry, who recently passed away, starred in with Thomas Lennon. Perry had pretty much did this concept earlier with Friends, but he played the Felix Unger role in that NBC sitcom. In Couple, he played Oscar Madison. Friends ran from 1994 to 2004. WhileContinue reading “The Bromance Of Joey And Chandler”

The Short Life And Sad, Horrible Death Of River Phoenix

What is it about dying young that makes it so tragic? Maybe it’s because so many people who have died had so much to offer. And it’s not just actors, musicians, athletes, or other celebrities. It’s people who were studying to be doctors, engineers, lawyers or teachers. Sometimes, it’s someone in their 30s or 40sContinue reading “The Short Life And Sad, Horrible Death Of River Phoenix”

‘Garfield’s Halloween Adventure’ Has Charm, Chills And Cutesy Feels

In the 1980s, Garfield was everywhere. It’s been widely rumored that Jim Davis, the creator, did so in an attempt to make as much money as it could. Garfield is everything that Bill Waterston didn’t want Calvin & Hobbes becoming which is why he refused to merchandise anything and ended the comic 10 years afterContinue reading “‘Garfield’s Halloween Adventure’ Has Charm, Chills And Cutesy Feels”

How Much Worse Does It Have To Get Before It Gets Better?

I’m going to be brutally honest. I’m getting very tired of how bad things are getting. And while this might offend some, I think people need to quit letting their faith and religion dictate how things should work. Why can’t people just go to church on Sunday and be the usual hypocrites they were whenContinue reading “How Much Worse Does It Have To Get Before It Gets Better?”

Slasher Horrors Reflected America’s Dark History During 1970s-1980s

Before I begin, again, I want to express my thoughts and condolensces with the people of Maine and what has happened. Sadly, violence has always been a black eye on American history we don’t like to discuss, except in the positive way. We’ve romanticized The Revolutionary War and the Civil War, even though it should’veContinue reading “Slasher Horrors Reflected America’s Dark History During 1970s-1980s”

Better Ways To Spend Two Hours Than ‘Friday Night At Freddy’s’

I never got into the Friday Night at Freddy’s video game, so therefore, I won’t be as disappointed as the numerous fans over the last decade who have been waiting to see it come to screen. I’m sure their disappointment was already expected when they heard it was going to be rated PG-13. Then, UniversalContinue reading “Better Ways To Spend Two Hours Than ‘Friday Night At Freddy’s’”
