‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Hits Its Target Deadeye

Top Gun was the epitome of the 1980s with its MTV-style action scenes, jamming soundtrack by Kenny Loggins of all people and cool machismo bravada that hid the homoeroticism of the era. People didn’t even realize until many years later it was a two-hour recruitment movie for the U.S. Naval Aviation division. The movie wasContinue reading “‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Hits Its Target Deadeye”

Why ‘Home Alone 2’ Is Actually A Biblical Horror Movie

The first Home Alone was a suprise hit that catapulted a young child actor named Macaulay Culkin to the A-list star status that would quickly end abruptly in 1994 when Culkin stopped acting for about a decade. Most of it was because of personal problems with his father/manager Kit Culkin. The first movie was aboutContinue reading “Why ‘Home Alone 2’ Is Actually A Biblical Horror Movie”

No One Needs This ‘Friend Of The Family’

A Friend of the Family is another prime example of how limited series are getting out of control. The run time for this series combined is just under eight hours. And half of that would be considered too much of a story to tell, mainly because there’s not much of a story here. The castContinue reading “No One Needs This ‘Friend Of The Family’”

Thanksgiving Is About Robbery And Revenge In’Tower Heist’

Thanksgiving seems to be a holiday Hollywood shies away from. You either have it used as a backdrop to The Ice Storm or as a plot point in Boomerang. There’s Home for the Holidays which is now more memorable for being the time Robert Downey Jr. was at the worst of his substance abuse. TowerContinue reading “Thanksgiving Is About Robbery And Revenge In’Tower Heist’”

Marketing Fiasco Fails Short Of Real Thing In ‘Pepsi, Where’s My Jet?’

I remember the commercial and the controversy. PepsiCo was running a promotion to get people to buy more products, they could collect points to send in for merchandise with Pepsi logos. The idea that people would want to wear a Pepsi jacket or sunglasses didn’t appeal to me but maybe it would to some otherContinue reading “Marketing Fiasco Fails Short Of Real Thing In ‘Pepsi, Where’s My Jet?’”

Prejudice Is Like An Tree; It Always Grows From Something Smaller

I personally don’t care about this beef between Candace Cameron Bure and JoJo Siwa. I personally think that Candace might be somewhat of a bitch and JoJo might be blowing it all out of proportion. But if it’s making more people call Candace out for her history, or more importantly her brother’s bigotry, then soContinue reading “Prejudice Is Like An Tree; It Always Grows From Something Smaller”

Bad Diagnosis For ‘The Good Nurse’

The Good Nurse is the typical movie an Oscar winner makes after they win an Oscar. And by that, I mean it’s not too good. Remember Michael Caine having to miss the Oscars ceremony to do reshoots on Jaws: The Revenge. Maybe that’s why Jessica Chastain signed on because it would’ve have almost guarenteed herContinue reading “Bad Diagnosis For ‘The Good Nurse’”

Stand Your Ground At Center Of ‘Brittany Smith’ Documentary

I’ve never liked the Stand Your Ground law. There’s so much grey area and a little bit of the green era as in those who have money usually get away with it. The same people who defend Kyle Rittenhouse for traveling across state lines would probably also criticize the real-life victim at the center ofContinue reading “Stand Your Ground At Center Of ‘Brittany Smith’ Documentary”
