When I first heard of Netflix doing a series focusing on Wednesday Addams and Tim Burton was involved, I was skeptical. Or more or less biased, you could say. Christina Ricci had done such a great job as the character in the 1991 movie The Addams Family at only 11 and then she did aContinue reading “Jenna Ortega Shines In Dark Comedy Series ‘Wednesday’”

‘Welcome To Chippendales’ Is Too Revealing Too Fast
The history behind Chippendales is one that is ripe to be made into a movie or limited series. To quote Eddie Valiant in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, “It’s a story of greed, sex and murder.” And it all started during the Me Generation, the era of the Sexual Revolution as it was common to seeContinue reading “‘Welcome To Chippendales’ Is Too Revealing Too Fast”
‘Scream 2’ Revisited 25 Years Later
The Scream franchise has been up and down over the years. The lastest characters who were in the fifth installment released earlier this year weren’t even born yet during the events of the first one. The first Scream was a surprise hit mostly for the way it didn’t take itself too seriously. In an attemptContinue reading “‘Scream 2’ Revisited 25 Years Later”
‘Collision Course’ Crashes And Burns Magnificiently
Jay Leno was the best person to take over The Tonight Show after Johnny Carson. And by that, I mean, he was plain and simple. Imagine that act that followed The Beatles on Ed Sullivan. No one can remember without a Google search. Leno was making commercials for Doritos when he was finally selected asContinue reading “‘Collision Course’ Crashes And Burns Magnificiently”
‘Tulsa King’ In Search Of Its Crown
When I first heard that Taylor Sheridan, who had created Yellowstone and written scripts for Hell or High Water and Sicaro, was making a TV series about a Italian mobster relocating to Tulsa and starring Sylvester Stallone, I was very intriqued. Tulsa, despite being the second largest city in Oklahoma is no fairy tale ofContinue reading “‘Tulsa King’ In Search Of Its Crown”
‘Guardians’ Bring Holiday Cheer To Galaxy In TV Special
There’s something about the Star Wars Holiday Special that appeals to nerds and a certain section of Star Wars fans. It’s so bad it’s so bad but it’s like an ugly puppy dog. You got to admit it is kinda cute at times. After the success of the 1977 original, the pop culture exploded withContinue reading “‘Guardians’ Bring Holiday Cheer To Galaxy In TV Special”
Type O Negative To ‘Blood Relatives’
Blood Relatives reminds me of those low-budget independent movies that used to come out in the 1990s. They were quirky and sometimes very good. But mostly they were about concepts the big Hollywood studios wouldn’t touch. And then after you’d rent them from the video store, you’d realize why. The concept behind this movie worksContinue reading “Type O Negative To ‘Blood Relatives’”
‘Slumberland’ Is A Snoozer
Back in 1992, Barry Levinson and Robin Williams reunited following the success of Good Morning, Vietnam for a family movie called Toys. The commercials made it look like a great movie. There were amazing set designs and costumes. Unfortunately, there was nothing beyond that. Williams had used all his A-game material in Aladdin previously releasedContinue reading “‘Slumberland’ Is A Snoozer”
Meet The New Boss, Worst Than The Odd Boss: Christian Extremists Are Getting A Whole Lot Worse
I’m not the least bit surprised that Donald Trump had a meeting with Nick Fuentes even though the twice impeached former President is denying it. Fuentes, only 24, is the new face of Conservative Christian extremism along with Jonathan Shelley, the so-called pastor of Stedfast Baptist Church of Watauga, Texas. Fuentes has been spewing thisContinue reading “Meet The New Boss, Worst Than The Odd Boss: Christian Extremists Are Getting A Whole Lot Worse”
‘Christmas Story’ Sequel Shows Ralphie All Grown Up But Things Seem The Same
A Christmas Story has become an iconic Christmas holiday movie since it hit theaters in mid-November 1983 that it’s almost a surprise to hear by Christmas Day of that year, the movie was only playing in a hundred of venues or so as the studio felt it had run its course. The movie based onContinue reading “‘Christmas Story’ Sequel Shows Ralphie All Grown Up But Things Seem The Same”
