‘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”

‘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’”
