Money Talks As Possible Legal Precedents Are Avoided

I’m not going to lie. I was really looking forward to seeing Rupert Murdoch, Tucker Carlson and Shawn Hannity cross-examined in the Dominion lawsuit. It’s proof that money talks and bullshit still walks. But in this case, Fox News spread the bullshit so thick they could’ve been held more liable if they weren’t a setContinue reading “Money Talks As Possible Legal Precedents Are Avoided”

‘Manhunter’ Inadvertently Started A Horror Franchise Four Decades Ago

I have a confession to make. I’ve never seen a single episode of Succession. But I do admire Brian Cox. It’s surprising he was younger than I when he first appeared as Dr. Hannibal Lecktor in the 1986 horror thriller Manhunter. (The mispelling is listed in the credits differently than what Thomas Harris had wroteContinue reading “‘Manhunter’ Inadvertently Started A Horror Franchise Four Decades Ago”

Those Who Live In Fear Will Always Harm Others Around Them

I live about halfway along a very long country road that stretches for four or five miles. I also live at the top of a huge incline past a country store. People are always pulling up into my driveway to stop and turn around. Or it’s just to recheck their directions to see if theyContinue reading “Those Who Live In Fear Will Always Harm Others Around Them”

‘Murder Mystery 2’ More Of The Same

Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston return in the Netflix sequel cleverly (not really) named Murder Mystery 2 which runs about 90 minutes long with over 10 minutes of credits. That means, the actual plot couldn’t even be stretched out to an hour and a half. I’m sure there were some scenes cut but maybe NetlfixContinue reading “‘Murder Mystery 2’ More Of The Same”

‘Waco: American Apocalypse’ Presents Most Objective View Of 1993 Standoff

Thirty years have passed since the standoff at Mount Carmel outside Waco, Texas when the Branch Davidian compound erupted in flames following a 51-day standoff with federal agents and law enforcement. Who was to blame? That’s been the biggest question that people have been asking themselves since April 19, 1993. I’ve researched a lot ofContinue reading “‘Waco: American Apocalypse’ Presents Most Objective View Of 1993 Standoff”

‘Selective Outrage’ Appropriate Title For Chris Rock Netflix Special

While Netflix has been making bank with many Netflix specials featuring comedians talking about how they’ve been canceled (i.e. Dave Chappelle), it seemed inevitable they’d lure Chris Rock away from HBO (which used to be the go-to place). Originally airing as a live special in the early part of March, Rock, now 58, seems almostContinue reading “‘Selective Outrage’ Appropriate Title For Chris Rock Netflix Special”

‘Pretty Baby’ Almost Exploits Same Creepy Celebrity Culture Meant To Expose

For a while, it seemed Brooke Shields was everywhere. Becoming popular in the later 1970s while she was still just a child, she made movies through the first part of the 1980s and appeared everywhere. Then, she was gone. Actually, she went on to Princeton University which became a huge story but it’s almost likeContinue reading “‘Pretty Baby’ Almost Exploits Same Creepy Celebrity Culture Meant To Expose”

‘Cocaine Bear’ Packs A Nice Jolt

Cocaine Bear wonderfully avoids the same problems that plagued Snakes on a Plane back in 2006 with the first one being that it was filmed and intended to be an R-rated movie, rather than reshoots added in post-production to make it that way which affected SOAP. And the plot is so absurd that even ifContinue reading “‘Cocaine Bear’ Packs A Nice Jolt”
