I’ve not watched Squid Game but I don’t need to. I already know the plot. Set in a dystopian future yadda-yadda-yadda people play literal life-or-death games and yadda-yadda-yadda one by one they all die. It’s been done to death (pardon the pun). The same can be said for the 2022 Hunt, a South Korea espionageContinue reading “‘Hunt’ Misfires On Every Level”

‘Snowfall’ Turned The Crack Epidemic Into A Shakespearen Crime Drama
WARNING: This contains a lot of spoilers! Snowfall is a rarity in current TV. It’s a TV show that actually got a whole lot better with each season. In the olden days, some popular shows had rough starts. Look at the first season of Cheers (which went on for 11 seasons and aired its finalContinue reading “‘Snowfall’ Turned The Crack Epidemic Into A Shakespearen Crime Drama”
‘Quantumania’ Full Of Sound And Fury Signifying Nothing In Third Ant-Man
For the most part, the Ant-Man movies have been nothing more than a buffer for the bigger and better movies next in line. At least, the first movie had some fun to it, even if it was just to introduce the titular character to the the psuedo-Avengers flick, Captain America: Civil War. I still haveContinue reading “‘Quantumania’ Full Of Sound And Fury Signifying Nothing In Third Ant-Man”
Disney Scares Itself Silly With ‘Something Wicked This Way Comes’
Disney has always had a love affair with the macabre. You need to only look at several plots and subplots of the classic movies. The boys turning into donkeys in Pinocchio probably has terrified people over the decades. In Sleeping Beauty, Malificient turns into a dragon as she battles Prince Phillip. Then, you have theContinue reading “Disney Scares Itself Silly With ‘Something Wicked This Way Comes’”
The Irony Of DeSantis Defunding DEI
I knew a guy in college who one day mentioned that he didn’t get a scholarship because it was given to a black student. He didn’t say it in a racist way but more matter of fact. And we were talking with other black students. His roommate was black and he hung out with otherContinue reading “The Irony Of DeSantis Defunding DEI”
Anna Nicole Smith Doc Exploits While Accusing Others Of Exploitation
The Netflix documentary Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me is two hours of stuff we probably already knew. Smith has been deceased for over 16 years, which was longer than she was active. So, why do something like this now?

What Part Of Leave Britney Alone Don’t These Parasites Freaking Understand
I haven’t watched the TMZ documentary about Britney Spears. There’s no need to. The bar has been set so low over the years by TMZ that an ant can’t even limbo underneath it. Titled Britney Spears: The Price of Freedom apparently alleges that Spears doesn’t get much sleep and has a rocky marriage with herContinue reading “What Part Of Leave Britney Alone Don’t These Parasites Freaking Understand”
‘Seinfeld’ Finale Still Disappoints 25 Years Later: What Is The Deal?
If you were to look up “disappointment” in a dictionary, you’d find a picture of the Seinfeld series finale next to the definition. The final episode aired 25 years ago May 14, 1998. A reported 76 million houses tuned in and there’s probably more who watched it. There was no DVR. People were at homeContinue reading “‘Seinfeld’ Finale Still Disappoints 25 Years Later: What Is The Deal?”
‘Inside’ Keeps Willem Dafoe In Mostly One-Man Show That Overstays Its Time
For the most part, I think many actors are obsessed with just doing normal things in movies anybody will do with no dialogue. For True Confessions, Robert DeNiro wanted a scene of him just doing stuff without any dialogue. In All is Lost, Robert Redford’s dialogue could’ve been written on a index card. During theContinue reading “‘Inside’ Keeps Willem Dafoe In Mostly One-Man Show That Overstays Its Time”
‘Moonage Daydream’ Tells Bowie’s Life In Lyrical Stream Of Consciousness
Going into Moonage Daydream, the musical documentary directed by Brett Morgan, you should know ahead of time, it isn’t your typical documentary. You won’t see many talking heads telling you about how David Bowie did this or he did that. This is the documentary that Summer of Soul should’ve been. Morgan lets musical scenes playContinue reading “‘Moonage Daydream’ Tells Bowie’s Life In Lyrical Stream Of Consciousness”
