Just Another Freak In The Freak Kingdom

Let’s be honest, you can’t be too critical of Donald Trump’s supposed comments about Army Capt. Luis Avila at a 2019 meeting at the Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall. Up until about 10-15 years ago, Trump’s comments were echoed by most people. People in wheelchairs and especially burn victims were mainly treated badly by our society.Continue reading “Just Another Freak In The Freak Kingdom”

‘Se7en’ Is A Commentary On Human Cruelty, Apathy And Vengeance

A movie like Se7en, or just Seven as it’s sometimes shown, is quite possibly one of the most profound, unusually disturbing but provocative movies Hollywood has churned out in his history. The fact that it contains a rising heartthrob like Brad Pitt alongside a revered actor like Morgan Freeman and is so dark and unsettlingContinue reading “‘Se7en’ Is A Commentary On Human Cruelty, Apathy And Vengeance”

Rupert Murdoch Isn’t Going Anywhere

There’s a few things that are certain. When Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) says that he’s not stepping down as he’s froze up twice in the last few months, believe him. He’s not leaving the Senate unless it’s feet first. When Sir Michael Caine says he’s thinking of finally retiring, don’t believe him. Caine has beenContinue reading “Rupert Murdoch Isn’t Going Anywhere”

‘Ghost Ship’ Gets Lost In Sea Of Cliches

‘Little Mermaid’ Too Long And Lacks The Magic Of Animated Original

By the time The Little Mermaid hit theaters in 1989, Disney was so desperately in need of a hit animation movie. Oliver & Company the year before had made some money but the reviews were mixed. The bigger hit had been Who Framed Roger Rabbit. But the House of Mouse was still struggling following theContinue reading “‘Little Mermaid’ Too Long And Lacks The Magic Of Animated Original”

Hypocrisy Is Becoming America’s New Pasttime

Ok, show of hands – who hasn’t watched the news the last few weeks with a certain malaise that you kinda expected all this. Jimmy Fallon, who spent years, making us believe he was a squeaky-clean cornfed white-boy comic may be a drunk who spent the last nine years making The Tonight Show a toxicContinue reading “Hypocrisy Is Becoming America’s New Pasttime”

‘American Dream’ A Nightmare Of Corporate Greed, Labor Union Mistakes

The tagline on one of the movie posters of American Dream is “The film that corporate America doesn’t want you to see.” I think that’s comical. Because after sitting through the roughly 100 minutes of this documentary, you will probably also conclude that labor unions don’t want you to see it either.
