The Nightmare Before Christmas might just well be one of the most disappointing movies ever made. How could something with a great concept and stunning visuals be so incredibly dull and problematic? I remember watching this once when it went to video in 1994 and feeling bored. I later was talking about it with someoneContinue reading “Unwrapping ‘Nightmare Before Christmas”

Happy Hanukkah!
I want to wish all those of the Jewish faith who celebrate a Happy Hanukkah. I know this year especially, the holiday takes on more importance. For the past two months, things have been horrible for the people of Isreal and Gaza. I want to re-iterate what others have said. You can feel compassion forContinue reading “Happy Hanukkah!”
The Devil Went Down To Georgia In ‘The Exorcist: Believer’
Fifty years ago, The Exorcist was a game-changing movie in the horror genre as well as American cinema. It still remains one of the scariest movies to this day. So, when it came time to make success on the movie, The Exorcist II: The Heretic was made and its one of the worst sequels everContinue reading “The Devil Went Down To Georgia In ‘The Exorcist: Believer’”
NCAA Says FU To FSU For CFP
There’s a saying I once heard in the movie Vanilla Sky but I’m sure it was taken from somehwere else. “What is the answer to 99 of the most asked 100 questions? Money.” To add to that, I’d say the remaining one question is God. I’m sure on Dec. 3, many Florida State University students,Continue reading “NCAA Says FU To FSU For CFP”
Is There A ‘Home Alone’ Curse?
Home Alone and its sequel have become such a staple of the Christmas holiday season that you can say “Merry Christmas, you filthy animal!” and get the reference not seeing it as an insult. The movie was originally just intended to be a silly family-friendly slapstick comedy that might make a few bucks here andContinue reading “Is There A ‘Home Alone’ Curse?”
Was Sandra Day O’Connor Forced Out?
Eighteen years is a long time. While I commend former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor for stepping down in her mid-70’s and spending those years having a private life, it still raises a lot of questions. In the summer of 2005, everyone was certain that Chief Justice William Rehnquist wasn’t going to be onContinue reading “Was Sandra Day O’Connor Forced Out?”
Henry Kissinger, How We’re (Not) Missing Yer
The question people usually ask if the ends justify the means. They present a scenario over whether it’s worth killing 100 people if it saves 100,000 people. We live in a society where we have to constantly question that even if we don’t want to, nor wonder why we should. Henry Kissinger finally died onContinue reading “Henry Kissinger, How We’re (Not) Missing Yer”
‘Dashing Through The Snow’ But No Laughs At All Along The Way
Earlier this year, The Last of Us was criticized for how it incorrectly portrayed 10 miles west of Boston in an establishing shot. The show is filmed in Calgary and other Alberta locations which are more than 10 miles west of Boston. In the last 10-15 years as the Georgia Film Commission has turned theContinue reading “‘Dashing Through The Snow’ But No Laughs At All Along The Way”
Why ‘Elf’ Is A Horror Movie
When Will Ferrell first premiered on Saturday Night Live in the Fall of 1995, he appeared in a skit where he played a seemingly normal American dad who screams to his kids off-screen to “Get off the shed!” It wasn’t a funny skit. Ferrell had done this skit as his audition before the writers improvedContinue reading “Why ‘Elf’ Is A Horror Movie”
‘Casino’ Deals Gangsters, Cowboys And Good Ole Boys For A Mafia Jackpot
There’s a scene in Casino that sums up exactly what it was like 50 years ago in Las Vegas back when the Italian Mafia ruled the scene. Sam “Ace” Rothstein (Robert DeNiro) is meeting with a county commissioner, Pat Webb (L.Q Jones). Ace wears flashy, loud suits and clothing while Webb is a good oleContinue reading “‘Casino’ Deals Gangsters, Cowboys And Good Ole Boys For A Mafia Jackpot”
