Why People Hate Taylor And Travis (And What It Says About Our Society)

This time last year, a lot of people probably didn’t know who Travis Kelce is. He’s a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. Or you may know him as Taylor Swift’s boyfriend.

‘Pain Hustlers’ In A Fix For A Good Story

Emily Blunt is one of those actresses whose name, appearance and body of work seems like she should be doing Downton Abbey, The Crown or some other period piece movie or TV show. At one time, she was the contender to play Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But she has proved that sheContinue reading “‘Pain Hustlers’ In A Fix For A Good Story”

‘They Cloned Tyrone’ Funky Freaky Fun

They Cloned Tyrone is a return to form for Netflix. It’s a sci-fi comedy with an outrageously absurd plot that works so well. This is what The Blackening should have been. It’s a movie that gives us characters so colorful that the actors have so much fun playing them. And when you’re casting John Boyega,Continue reading “‘They Cloned Tyrone’ Funky Freaky Fun”

The Republicans Need To Finally Cut Trump Loose…Yet They Won’t

This past week, Donald J. Trump may have won the battle of the New Hampshire primaries but he’s losing the war.

The Strange Case of Gypsy-Rose Blanchard

The Gypsy Rose Blanchard case is one of the most strangest ever. Was she a cold-blooded murderer or was she just a person who didn’t see any way else out. She only had a second-grade education at the time her then-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn fatally stabbed her mother, Dee Dee.

‘Straw Dogs’ Has A Better Bite Over Its Original’s Meager Bark

Filmmaker Jean-Luc Goddard once said, “The way to criticize a film is to make another film.” In 1971, when Sam Peckinpah’s Straw Dogs was released during the Christmas holiday season, it shocked audiences and divided them. Based on the novel The Siege at Trencher’s Farm, it starred Dustin Hoffman as a meager intelligent mathematician whoContinue reading “‘Straw Dogs’ Has A Better Bite Over Its Original’s Meager Bark”

‘Ted’ Works Best As Sitcom Parody But Still Feels A Bit Overstuffed

There was a joke on a Family Guy episode in which they did some Seth MacFarlane self-parody with the line is “Yeah, he watched TV in the 80s. We get it.” When Family Guy burst on the scene in 1999 after the Super Bowl, it reflected a growing change in movies and TV that decadeContinue reading “‘Ted’ Works Best As Sitcom Parody But Still Feels A Bit Overstuffed”

‘Tetris’ Still Scores Despite Over-Layered Storyline

Tetris is one of those crazy games that looks so simple but it can be so addictive. All it is stacking block shapes together to make a horizontal line that vanishes. It was a simple game and it was developed by a Russian using parenthesis on his home computer. So, how did something that lookedContinue reading “‘Tetris’ Still Scores Despite Over-Layered Storyline”

Oscars Have A History Of Not Nominating “Sure Things”

I remember less than 30 years ago, they were discussing how they would find five actresses to nominate for the Best Lead Actress category. In the last few years, they’ve had too many, it’s hard to limit. Last year, I though Mia Goth should’ve been nominated for Pearl and Aubrey Plaza should’ve been nominated forContinue reading “Oscars Have A History Of Not Nominating “Sure Things””
