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. That might explainContinue reading “‘American Dream’ A Nightmare Of Corporate Greed, Labor Union Mistakes”

Leave Drew Alone!

I’ve never really been a big fan of Drew Barrymore, but I’ve always felt she got a raw deal from the Court of Public Opinion. As part of the Barrymore acting family, she was a “Nepo Baby” before that phrase was even thought of. She had a roller-coaster childhood that made Lindsay Lohan’s look likeContinue reading “Leave Drew Alone!”

Be Careful What Sides You Take

Four years ago this week, a person I was in Cub Scouts with and sat next to in many classes and even attended a sleepover for a birthday was covicted of a double murder of two women. He is serving a life sentence without parole in a Georgia prison. At the same time, a personContinue reading “Be Careful What Sides You Take”

‘Fire In The Sky’ Fizzles Out Long Before Frightening Finale

With news this week that NASA officials believe that UFO sightings aren’t credible but they do entertain the possibility of extraterrestrial life, it is no better time to review the 1993 sci-fi/horror/mystery Fire in the Sky. It’s a muddled movie that seems like a glorified TV movie that never does really achieve what it should’ve.Continue reading “‘Fire In The Sky’ Fizzles Out Long Before Frightening Finale”

Please Donate If You Can To A Good Charity

Today is my birthday. The month of September is also the birthday month of my mother and my late girlfriend. Before she passed away, my girlfriend was on the Board of Directors of Wheels of Happiness, a non-profit charity that helps people with physical disabilities and helps with mobile equipment such as wheelchairs and motorizedContinue reading “Please Donate If You Can To A Good Charity”

‘Moving On’ Presents A Good Showcase For Legendary Actresses

One of the first movies I remember watch was 9 to 5 released in 1980 featuring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin. I remember mostly the scene where Tomlin’s character thinks she has poisoned her boss played by Dabney Coleman and tries to sneak what she thinks is his body out of a hospital. The absurdityContinue reading “‘Moving On’ Presents A Good Showcase For Legendary Actresses”

‘The X-Files’ Celebrates 30 Years As The True Revenge Of The Nerds

When The X-Files premiered on Friday, Sept. 10, 1993, there was already talk the show would be quickly canceled. Sci-fi/horror shows didn’t last too long on the boob tube. In the 1980s, shows like Misfits of Science (featuring a young Courtney Cox), Automan (which seemed to resemble Tron) and Manimal (in which Simon McCorkindale playedContinue reading “‘The X-Files’ Celebrates 30 Years As The True Revenge Of The Nerds”

You’re Disrespecting 9/11 Victims By Continuing To Support Trump

I’ve often said that if Al Gore had been president, 9/11 or something like it would’ve still happened. It may not have happened on this day. It would’ve been March 23 or Nov. 17. And they may not have struck in New York City or The Pentagon. But a phantom menace was brewing in theContinue reading “You’re Disrespecting 9/11 Victims By Continuing To Support Trump”

‘True Romance’ Still So Cool At 30

Flashback to the fall movie season of 1993 and no one was anticipating True Romance to be a huge movie. And that’s why it was a box-office failure, because no one was expecting it to be a huge movie. Yet, its success and legacy lives on over the years. Its casting is one for theContinue reading “‘True Romance’ Still So Cool At 30”
