‘Unfrosted’ Is Painfully Unfunny

Unfrosted could’ve been a great comedy. Unfortunately, it comes about 18 months after Weird: The Al Yankovic Story did the same thing and a lot better. It also comes a year after all the biopics about consumer products in 2023 (Tetris, Air Jordans, Beanie Babies, etc.) that a rivalry between Kellogg and Post after aContinue reading “‘Unfrosted’ Is Painfully Unfunny”

Harrison Butker’s Speech Is An Example Of Problems In America

By now, there’s been so much said about Harrison Butker’s speech at Benedictine College on May 11 that what else can be said. Well, one thing people really haven’t mentioned is that it emphasizes how athletics is more loved and appreciated than academics. Imagine the gall of someone who is just a kicker for aContinue reading “Harrison Butker’s Speech Is An Example Of Problems In America”

RIP Dabney Coleman

One of the earliest movies I remember seeing is 9 to 5, so I had known who Dabney Coleman was for a long time. His performance as the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot Frank Hart in the movie was so perfect. Coleman was able to balance the awful, cold-hearted sleaze with the sardonic, goofy, gullibleContinue reading “RIP Dabney Coleman”

‘The Stand’ Doesn’t Deliver As Well 30 Years Later

The Stand may be Stephen King’s best novel according to all of his fans and critics. The novel was published so early in his career as a published novelist that such a massive book could’ve very easily ended his career if it wasn’t so well-received. Set mostly in an apocalyptic world where a superflu calledContinue reading “‘The Stand’ Doesn’t Deliver As Well 30 Years Later”

‘Madame Web’ Weaves An Unstructured Pattern Of Superhero Tropes

In many ways, it’s almost fitting a movie like Madame Web takes place in 2003. During this time, Hollywood was still trying to find its footing on how to make superhero movies. Following the problems with Batman & Robin and whatever Steel was supposed to be, the Blade movies were the only thing keeping theContinue reading “‘Madame Web’ Weaves An Unstructured Pattern Of Superhero Tropes”

‘Katt Williams: Woke Foke’ Moves At The Pace Of A Slow Poke

Earlier this year, comic-actor Katt Williams became a viral sensation when he spilled a lot of tea on a Club Shay Shay, a weekly podcast hosted by Shannon Sharpe. Williams went after other comics, Steve Harvey and Cedric the Entertainer, with the rawness that comics like Bill Hicks, Sam Kinison, George Carlin and Richard PryorContinue reading “‘Katt Williams: Woke Foke’ Moves At The Pace Of A Slow Poke”

‘Spaceman’ Spends Too Much Time On Autopilot To Reach Its Destination

The fact that Adam Sandler can jump back and forth between stupid low-brow humor movies like Jack and Jill and That’s My Boy and still make movies like Uncut Gems, Punch-Drunk Love and Hustle is not only impressive, it’s goddamn eerie. Even though it wasn’t one of his best movies, I actually felt The CobblerContinue reading “‘Spaceman’ Spends Too Much Time On Autopilot To Reach Its Destination”

Roger Corman Was The John The Baptist Of American Cinema

In the mid-1970s, Ron Howard was attempting to make a name for himself as a movie director after he had grown up over the years as a child actor. For a man who had appeared on two popular TV shows, been in the Oscar-nominated American Graffiti and even co-starred alongside The Duke himself John WayneContinue reading “Roger Corman Was The John The Baptist Of American Cinema”
