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”
‘Only Murders’ Continues To Slay Them Despite Somewhat Uneven Season 3
I’ve had this theory that most series that become big surprises during their initial season, usually start to show their cracks by the third season. Mainly, it’s because everyone anticipates the second season to be gangbusters and it usually is. This leaves some fatigue afterwards.

‘The Meg 2’ Lacks Much Bite
The first Meg movie had some excitement to it. I saw it on a very rainy fall day and it’s the type of movie you throw on when it’s soaking wet rain and too cold to really get out. As Jonas Taylor, Jason Statham plays the stereotypical burnt out merchant for hire who suffers aContinue reading “‘The Meg 2’ Lacks Much Bite”

Or it could be the way they wrap their prey up in their webs to suck their blood.

‘Blood And Honey’ Is A Big Pile Of Poo
I went into Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey thinking it was going to be garbage. But this isn’t the regular weekly garbage collected every Thursday. No, this is the type of garbage you find in a hoarder’s house and it’s funk has seeped into the carpet and floorboard and you’re almost certain there wasContinue reading “‘Blood And Honey’ Is A Big Pile Of Poo”

Republican Ideology: The Needs Of The Few Outweigh The Needs Of The Many
Well, we avoided another government shutdown. I don’t know about you, but I’m getting sick and tired of this happening every time a political party doesn’t get their way. Now one might say, the Democrats shut down government themselves in the 1980s. Yes, I checked and it was less than a day twice in 1984Continue reading “Republican Ideology: The Needs Of The Few Outweigh The Needs Of The Many”
