The Mugshot Seen Around The World

Laugh and critique it all you want, but the mugshot of former President Donald J. Trump was a moment in history we have never seen. Other countries have put their leaders on trial before. One of the most famous was the Christmas Day trial of Romanian President Nicolae Ceausecu and his wife, Elena, in 1989Continue reading “The Mugshot Seen Around The World”

‘Body Bags’ Still Knocks ‘Em Dead

HBO and Showtime have always had a Coca-Cola/Pepsi or Nintendo/Sega rivalry. Even now with the “Streaming Wars” in full swing, Showtime, which is now owned by Paramount Media Networks, was struggling about 30 years ago to rise up to HBO. I still remember when the network would air soft-core porn from Europe on late nightContinue reading “‘Body Bags’ Still Knocks ‘Em Dead”

‘All Of Me’ Is The Great Steve Martin/Carl Reiner Comedy Masterpiece

Steven Martin recently turned 78 and has been working almost non-stop for decades and with the hit TV show Only Murders in the Building has talked of slowing down. If there’s someone who’s deserving of some time for himself, it’s Martin. Since he was in his early 20s, he’s been writing on TV shows, winningContinue reading “‘All Of Me’ Is The Great Steve Martin/Carl Reiner Comedy Masterpiece”

Stop Trying To Make Cinda Calling Happen! It’s Not Going To Happen!

When Only Murders in the Building premiered on Hulu during the summer of 2021, everyone was amazed and the dark comedy series was a surprise hit. Co-created by Steven Martin, it reunited him with long-time collaborator Martin Short as they played aging has-been celebrities living in a posh Manhattan apartment complex who initially dislike eachContinue reading “Stop Trying To Make Cinda Calling Happen!

The Class Warfare Is Far From Over

I made a comment on social media here recently, something I used to not do because I didn’t want to give people the satisfaction of an argument. But in past couple of years, I just don’t care anymore. I’ve realized that ever since Covid, the 2020 Presidential Election and Jan. 6 insurrection coup attempt, peopleContinue reading “The Class Warfare Is Far From Over”

Please Think Of Those Affected By Weekend Hurricane/Tropical Storm

I have a busy day today so I don’t have time to post something big. However, I was wanting to send my thoughts and positive vibes to the people in the wake of Hurricane/Tropical Storm Hillary. I have several friends and their families who live in California and the Nevada area, so my thoughts areContinue reading “Please Think Of Those Affected By Weekend Hurricane/Tropical Storm”

‘A Fish Called Wanda’ At 35

One of the things I like so much about A Fish Called Wanda is that it’s one of the few movies, if any, that can claim the distinction of causing a death. I’m not talking about all that Moral Majority B.S. that sprung up when psychopaths saw movies like Child Play 3 and Natural BornContinue reading “‘A Fish Called Wanda’ At 35”

The Problem With White Savior Tropes

This past week, there’s been a huge back and forth between Michael Oher and the Tuohy Family over proceeds from the 2009 movie The Blind Side and the book on which the movie is based. Oher, who played college football at Ole Miss and then went on professionally to play for the Baltimore Ravens, TennesseeContinue reading “The Problem With White Savior Tropes”

Why ‘Snakes On A Plane’ Hit Turbulence

Snakes on a Plane should’ve been a hit. And everyone knows following this year’s Cocaine Bear, the concept seems to benefit from the Internet. On the surface, it looked like a perfect marriage of 1970s disaster movies, most notably the Airport movies, with the When Animals Attack flicks following Jaws. It weas the type ofContinue reading “Why ‘Snakes On A Plane’ Hit Turbulence”
