How ‘The Chronic’ Changed Music

When it comes to rap music, there are two periods – BC and AD. BC means “Before Chronic” and AD is “After Dre.” I remember when Chris Rock was talking about his rap comedy CB4 and the studio brass wanted to have a rapping white grandmother, like in The Wedding Singer. Rock balked at theContinue reading “How ‘The Chronic’ Changed Music”

‘Rogue One’ Is Star Wars Fan Fiction

SPOILER ALERT!! The above cool-looking image is not shown in Rogue One despite being used in marketing. As I said in previous posts, I’m no fan of Andor, the Disney-Plus series that is a prequel to the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. And as I have said in previous posts, I’m noContinue reading “‘Rogue One’ Is Star Wars Fan Fiction”

Trumpty-Dumpty Has Another Great Fall

There is no way to discribe the horrible “major announcement” that Donald J. Trump, a former President, made this past week. If it had been a Saturday Night Live skit, I thimk it would’ve been more believable. Last month, he announces his third Presidential bid. Even though was impeached twice, something no President has everContinue reading “Trumpty-Dumpty Has Another Great Fall”

‘Jack Frost’ Does Worse Than Nip At Your Nose In Absurd Horror Comedy

I’m not really sure if the filmmakers of the 1997 slasher horror comedy Jack Frost intended to make the movie the way it was. Maybe it intended to be a creepy thriller about a murdering snowman in the vein of Halloween or Friday the 13th. Word is Renny Harlin, who had made Die Hard 2Continue reading “‘Jack Frost’ Does Worse Than Nip At Your Nose In Absurd Horror Comedy”

‘Muppet Family Christmas’ The Perfect Jim Henson Crossover

The recent death of Bob McGrath must be a sad one for many people who grew up watching him on Sesame Street. He was on the show from 1969 to 2016. The adults on the show often seemed to play second banana to Big Bird, Grover and Bert & Ernie. So, appearing on the showContinue reading “‘Muppet Family Christmas’ The Perfect Jim Henson Crossover”

‘All Creatures Were Stirring’ Is Like ‘Creepshow’ Ordered From Wish

Horror anthologies are always hit or miss. Look at the V/H/S movies. In my opinion, only the first two Creepshow movies and their cousin Tales from the Darkside: The Movie managed to make every story worthwhile. All Creatures Were Stirring wants to be A Christmas Creepshow, but it ends up looking like something you’d usedContinue reading “‘All Creatures Were Stirring’ Is Like ‘Creepshow’ Ordered From Wish”

‘The Silent Twins’ Is Full Of Sound And Fury Signifying Nothing

The Silent Twins is based on the strange true-crime case of June and Jennifer Gibbons, two twins of Carribean descent who lived in the United Kingdom, mostly in Wales, and were often subject to racism because they were the only black people at their school. For reasons that never make sense and are never exploredContinue reading “‘The Silent Twins’ Is Full Of Sound And Fury Signifying Nothing”

It’s Been 10 Years Since Sandy Hook And We Haven’t Done A Goddamn Thing

Today, Dec. 14 may not be as memorable as 9/11 mostly because one political party decided a long time ago not to make much mention of it. And yet, they’ve been exploiting the deaths of 9/11 for political gane since day one. If you don’t know, it was on Dec. 14, 2012, some worthless pieceContinue reading “It’s Been 10 Years Since Sandy Hook And We Haven’t Done A Goddamn Thing”

First-Class Talent Get Bumped To Economy Class ‘Ticket To Paradise’

Ticket to Paradise is one of those movies that seems to live in the Nancy Myers world where everyone is very well off financially and seems to have the means and abilities to drop everything they’re doing and travel halfway across the country on a moment’s notice. I give director Ol Parker credit for addingContinue reading “First-Class Talent Get Bumped To Economy Class ‘Ticket To Paradise’”
