Republican Ideology: The Needs Of The Few Outweigh The Needs Of The Many

Well, we avoided another government shutdown. I don’t know about you, but I’m getting sick and tired of this happening every time a political party doesn’t get their way. Now one might say, the Democrats shut down government themselves in the 1980s. Yes, I checked and it was less than a day twice in 1984Continue reading “Republican Ideology: The Needs Of The Few Outweigh The Needs Of The Many”

Happy Birthday, Mr. President!

After college, I took a job working as a reporter for the Americus Times-Recorder in Americus, Ga. The town was located in southwest Georgia maybe about 10 miles from Plains, where former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, live to this day. It was your typical small town in the south with the fewContinue reading “Happy Birthday, Mr. President!”

‘Sleepy Hollow’ Scares Up Good Tale Of Revenge And Greed From Tim Burton

I was never a fan of the Harry Potter movies. Therefore, I can’t say much about the work of Sir Michael Gambon, who recently passed, in those movie. No, I knew him from movies like The Insider where he played Thomas Sandefur, the cutthroat head of tobacco company Brown & Williamson. Or there was hisContinue reading “‘Sleepy Hollow’ Scares Up Good Tale Of Revenge And Greed From Tim Burton”

Last month, Dark Castle Entertainment announced that a series is in the planning stages for the 2001 movie THIR13EN Ghosts, or Thirteen Ghosts and 13 Ghosts, as it’s also known.

‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem’ Proves Scorsese Is Right

There really is no way to describe Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem without mentioning Martin Scorsese is his criticism against franchise movies and superhero movies. Considering that this movie falls into both categories, you’ll walk away with some sense that the Oscar-winning movie director is correct. Now, I don’t always agree with Scorsese onContinue reading “‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem’ Proves Scorsese Is Right”

‘Spiderverse’ Presents A Shaggy Dog Story That Insists Upon Itself

A “shaggy dog” story is an old-fashioned term for a story that takes a long time being told but the payoff isn’t near as good as the story leading up to it. Usually, it’s told by someone who’s way to enthused into the story that you’re expecting it to be better when all things areContinue reading “‘Spiderverse’ Presents A Shaggy Dog Story That Insists Upon Itself”

Just Another Freak In The Freak Kingdom

Let’s be honest, you can’t be too critical of Donald Trump’s supposed comments about Army Capt. Luis Avila at a 2019 meeting at the Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall. Up until about 10-15 years ago, Trump’s comments were echoed by most people. People in wheelchairs and especially burn victims were mainly treated badly by our society.Continue reading “Just Another Freak In The Freak Kingdom”

‘Se7en’ Is A Commentary On Human Cruelty, Apathy And Vengeance

A movie like Se7en, or just Seven as it’s sometimes shown, is quite possibly one of the most profound, unusually disturbing but provocative movies Hollywood has churned out in his history. The fact that it contains a rising heartthrob like Brad Pitt alongside a revered actor like Morgan Freeman and is so dark and unsettlingContinue reading “‘Se7en’ Is A Commentary On Human Cruelty, Apathy And Vengeance”
