‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem’ Proves Scorsese Is Right

There really is no way to describe Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem without mentioning Martin Scorsese is his criticism against franchise movies and superhero movies.

‘Spiderverse’ Presents A Shaggy Dog Story That Insists Upon Itself

A “shaggy dog” story is an old-fashioned term for a story that takes a long time being told but the payoff isn’t near as good as the story leading up to it.

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.

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.
