Garfield has been around for decades and made its creator, Jim Davis, a millionaire thanks to a licensing and marketing everything from books to feature movies. And who can forget the Garfield plush toys with the suction cups people used to put on car windows? A rumor has persisted since the early 1990s, Davis wasContinue reading “‘Garfield Christmas’ Provides Laughs And Surprise Tenderness”

It’s Time To Shit Or Get Off The Pot
On Jan. 6, 2001, a dozen members of the Congressional Black Caucus spent less than half an hour trying to stop the certifications of the 2000 election results. Then Vice-President Al Gore, who was the President of the Senate and had won the popular vote of the 2000 election, did what he had to do.Continue reading “It’s Time To Shit Or Get Off The Pot”
‘The Apology’ Deserves A Look
The Apology mostly consists of scenes between two characters in a house on a stormy winter night shortly before Christmas. The feeling of nowhere to go even if you could adds to the parnoia. But this movie is a little different. Darlene Hagen (Anna Gunn) is a middle-aged divorcee and recovering alcoholic who has aContinue reading “‘The Apology’ Deserves A Look”
‘First Blood’ At 40: Stallone Shines In His Other Iconic Role
Don’t laugh, but at one time Sylvester Stallone was considered the next Marlon Brando. Following his role as Rocky Balboa in the Oscar-winning Rocky in 1976, Stallone was being acclaimed for his Oscar-nominated role. He was tapped to write and direct the sequel to Rocky, which was a success at the box office and withContinue reading “‘First Blood’ At 40: Stallone Shines In His Other Iconic Role”
‘The Nutcracker’ Lacks Joy And Excitement
Christmastime and The Nutcracker go hand in hand. Even if you’ve never seen the ballet, you know the tunes such as “The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies.” So, it seems almost natural after about 100 years after Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky wrote the music, Hollywood would come calling with a big budget spectacle. There haveContinue reading “‘The Nutcracker’ Lacks Joy And Excitement”
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”
