Judy Blume has shunned Hollywood for decades and for good reason. There’s a lot of things lost in adaptations. World War Z the book and movie are so different, I’m surprised Max Brooks didn’t sue to have them change the title. Stephen King sued New Line Cinema to take his name off the 1992 movieContinue reading “‘Are You There, God? It’s Me Margaret’ Is Flawed But Worth Watching”

‘Pet Sematary: Bloodlines’ Is Okay But Sometimes A Dead Franchise Is Better
The Pet Sematary franchise has been a difficult one to justify. The first one released back in 1989 had some problems but director Mary Lambert did a great job as adapting Stephen King’s own screenplay and turning it into a nice B-movie thriller. Despite what some people have said, it’s not a slasher but dealsContinue reading “‘Pet Sematary: Bloodlines’ Is Okay But Sometimes A Dead Franchise Is Better”
‘Jason Live’ Gives Franchise Its Final Decent Sequel Before It Goes To Hell
Some things just don’t work out the way filmmakers intend. You need only to look at the Halloween or Terminator franchises to wonder what went wrong and what were they thinking when they greenlit the movie. The original Friday the 13th was a surprise hit piggy-backing (and some might say ripping off) the success ofContinue reading “‘Jason Live’ Gives Franchise Its Final Decent Sequel Before It Goes To Hell”
The Force Is Strong With ‘Ahsoka’
I was one of the original Star Wars kids. I had Star Wars toys and memorabilia growing up. But for some reason, it wasn’t popular to be a Star Wars fan because the movies were considered old after a while. I remember going to school one day back in the mid-1980s when HBO had firstContinue reading “The Force Is Strong With ‘Ahsoka’”
When ‘The X-Files’ Got Banned
By the time The X-Files got to its fourth season, it had become a hit show with its own fan base called “X-Philes.” This is something considering a lot of people had predicted it would be canceled by the halfway point of the first season. One of the smartest moves the Fox Network did wasContinue reading “When ‘The X-Files’ Got Banned”
‘No One Will Save’ A Disappointing Alien Invasion Thriller
A movie like No One Will Save You has a lot of potential and attempts to take a different route but in the end, literally, it fails to deliver. Much of the movie lacks dialogue with a few lines from the protagonist, Brynn (Kaitlyn Dever) and some other dialogue spoken by people in the background.Continue reading “‘No One Will Save’ A Disappointing Alien Invasion Thriller”
This Is Isreal’s War, Not Ours
Let me start by saying, I find it horrible to hear of the attacks by the terrorist organization Hamas against the people of Isreal. I can’t begin to think what the people there are going through of their family elsewhere who have to watch in horror. A young woman I follow on social media wasContinue reading “This Is Isreal’s War, Not Ours”
Please Help If You Can, This Family Really Needs Any And All Help
I know many of you are spread out throughout the world. I appreciate you all being subscribers and I hope you share my posts when you can. Earlier this month, I heard some sad news. My step-niece’s son, Ryder Reamy, passed away following an accident. He was my step-niece’s youngest and the second son sheContinue reading “Please Help If You Can, This Family Really Needs Any And All Help”
‘Zombie Town’ Is Brainless
Zombie Town tries to have its cake and eat it too. It’s a horror comedy that isn’t too funny nor is it too scary. It tries to be for kids but thinks if it throws in just enough potty humor, adults will like it too. Neither works. Even worse, the movie boasts the talents ofContinue reading “‘Zombie Town’ Is Brainless”
What People Get Wrong About ‘Demolition Man’ As It Turns 30
By the early 1990s, Sylvester Stallone’s career had hit the skids. Following a string of less than stellar action movies like Rambo III, Lock-Up and the problematic Tango & Cash, he had moved over into comedy with the farcical Oscar and the terrible Stop or My Mom Will Shoot! So, when he returned to formContinue reading “What People Get Wrong About ‘Demolition Man’ As It Turns 30”
