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”

Cliched Horror Movie Is Nothing To ‘Smile’ About

The marketing behind Smile was great. Placing people at sporting events who have to smile for hours on end is both hilarious and creepy. It was a great marketing campaign to draw up enough interest in a movie that fails to live up to it. That’s a shame, because I was really anticiapting this movie.Continue reading “Cliched Horror Movie Is Nothing To ‘Smile’ About”

‘Legend Of Boggy Creek’ Turns 50

While everyone knows The Godfather that came out in 1972 and was one of the biggest blockbusters of all time as well as the biggest money maker of the year, one might be puzzled that The Legend of Boggy Creek was just as profitable. Produced on a measly $160,000 at the time which would’ve beenContinue reading “‘Legend Of Boggy Creek’ Turns 50”

‘Starship Troopers’ Fooled A Lot Of People. Would You Like To Know More?

On the surface, Starship Troopers, released in November of 1997, looked like the typcal bang-bang shoot ’em up sci-fi/horror action movie we’ve seen before. And that’s just what director Paul Verhoeven intended. The movie begins with with young soldiers battling huge bugs that look like a cross between a grasshopper and praying mantis and giantContinue reading “‘Starship Troopers’ Fooled A Lot Of People.

‘Cyrano’ Puts Dinklage In Spotlight

Cyrano is a difficult movie. The sets and costumes are amazing. The acting is mostly top notch. Yet, I still felt something was missing. It’s a movie based on a stage musical based on a classical play. And rather than have a big nose, the titular character, Cyrano de Bergerac, played by Peter Dinklage isContinue reading “‘Cyrano’ Puts Dinklage In Spotlight”

Trump, Walker Put Republican Party At Crucial Crossroads

About 20 years ago, I received my weekly subscription copy of Entertainment Weekly and Michael Jackson was on the cover with his rhinestone white glove and the similar dance pose he did. In 2002, Jackson was already losing a lot of his popularity. He wasn’t reading the environment that it had been a while andContinue reading “Trump, Walker Put Republican Party At Crucial Crossroads”

‘Duel’ Gave Spielberg His First Win

Duel is often called Steven Spielberg’s first feature movie. This is not exactly the case. His first feature movie is The Sugarland Express released in 1974. Duel was released in theaters, but it first was released through Universal Television as an ABC Movie of the Week on Nov. 13, 1971. It was heavily praised andContinue reading “‘Duel’ Gave Spielberg His First Win”

‘Capturing The Killer Nurse’ Shows Dangers In Healthcare Bureaucracy

I didn’t know that Capturing the Killer Nurse was connected to The Good Nurse going into watching it on Netflix. I was about 15 minutes into Falling into Christmas before giving up and turning to this. I debated about writing a post without seeing The God Nurse first but felt it was best to reviewContinue reading “‘Capturing The Killer Nurse’ Shows Dangers In Healthcare Bureaucracy”
