Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story is a nice little documentary that should’ve been an hour and a half but it drags on with unneccessary moments that should’ve been slashed by Freddy Krueger’s knives glove. There’s just so many talking heads saying what a heckuva guy Englund is that it becomes redundant. We’veContinue reading “‘Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares’ A Nice Cat Nap That Oversleeps A Little”

How ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit’ Is About Racism And Prejudice In America
Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of the most landmark movies of all time that I could write so much about it. Did you know that it’s based on a book Who Censored Roger Rabbit? that is totally different and is about the titular character’s own murder? Gary K.

It’s Time To Sing A New Song
Let’s face it, the indictments against former President Donald J. Trump and his conspirators in Georgia seem like they’re getting harder to dismiss as political payback or a manuever to keep Trump from being elected President again in 2024. I was surprised to hear that Georgia’s former lieutenant governor Geoff Duncancalled Trump the “worst candidateContinue reading “It’s Time To Sing A New Song”
‘Book Club: The Next Chapter’ Doesn’t Turn The Page As It Should
If you’ve ever found yourself reading a long novel or even an anthology book and you’ve come across a chapter or a long passage that starts to drag, you skim across the words and then go on to the next important part.

Montgomery Riverfront Incident A Warning People Are Getting Fed Up
There’s been a lot of talk in the recent week focusing on the assault/brawl that occurred on the Montgomery, Ala. Riverfront on Aug. 5. But the silence has come from the right-wing media and pundits.

‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Trilogy Ends On Darker, But More Meaningful Finale
By the time Guardians of the Galaxy premiered in August of 2014, the Marvel Cinematic Universe was still a fresh concept that could easily fail. The crossover The Avengers had opened two years earlier, the first time through Disney. And while the movie is notable, Joss Whedon’s direction and the lack of a real villainContinue reading “‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Trilogy Ends On Darker, But More Meaningful Finale”
‘Halloween H20: 20 Years Later’ Now 25 Years Later
At 86 minutes with credits, Halloween H20: 20 Years Later was a highly anticipated movie that divided horror fans as well as fans of the original for years. I’ll admit off the bat the movie seems short even for a horror movie which usually clocked in at about an hour and a half on average.Continue reading “‘Halloween H20: 20 Years Later’ Now 25 Years Later”
What People Can (But Won’t) Learn From The Box Office Success Of ‘Barbie’
I’ll be blunt. I didn’t think the Barbie movie would be a big success. I imagined it would be this decade’s Jem and the Holograms. None of the trailers seemed exciting. The movie seemed to be like Snakes on a Plane as in it was more exciting to discuss online than it was actually toContinue reading “What People Can (But Won’t) Learn From The Box Office Success Of ‘Barbie’”

‘To Live And Die In L.A.’ Was William Friedkin’s Underrated Masterpiece
William Friedkin wasn’t always the most ethical filmmaker. For his Oscar-winning The French Connection, he didn’t have official traffic control and an unscripted collision with a stunt car occured. On the set of The Exorcist, he slapped Fr. William O’Malley, who played Fr. Joseph Dyer to make him look shaken as he delivers the lastContinue reading “‘To Live And Die In L.A.’ Was William Friedkin’s Underrated Masterpiece”
