‘The Watcher’ Gives Us Nothing To See Here, Keep Browsing

Netflix’s The Watcher plays like a hybrid of Ryan Murphy fanfiction and it’s own nonsensical multiple-episode documentaries that don’t have a resolution. There are seven episodes in this series and you could’ve spent no more than seven minutes looking online at the true story on which it is based to get the whole story. InContinue reading “‘The Watcher’ Gives Us Nothing To See Here, Keep Browsing”

‘Significant Other’ Is B-Movie Drama/Horror

There’s something about Maika Monroe’s face that portrays an odd sentiment her words can’t say. Earlier this year, she was in Watcher, as a woman alone in Bucharest, Romania when her husband gets a new job that she seems out of place both in the city and among the people there. There’s a language barrierContinue reading “‘Significant Other’ Is B-Movie Drama/Horror”

Why It’s Time To Stop Turning The Other Cheek

Let me preface this by saying as a pacificist mostly, I’m not condoning any harassment, intimidation or violence of any kind. But we’re going to have to start pushing back and stop turning the other cheek against Conservative Christians. It’s less than three weeks until the 2022 General Election and the Republican Party is inContinue reading “Why It’s Time To Stop Turning The Other Cheek”

‘V/H/S’ Belongs In 99 Cent Bin

The V/H/S franchise was one that came and went so fast in the first half of the 2010s, you’d have to be a extreme horror fan to recognize. It could be that it was overshadowed by the Paranormal Activity movies which used th same found footage format that was growing very tired and overused byContinue reading “‘V/H/S’ Belongs In 99 Cent Bin”

Greed And Consumerism Haunt ‘Poltergeist’

When I was in college, a professor brought it up on how we have designed our bedrooms, living rooms and dens around the TV. In the olden days, someone could turn on a radio and hear it all around the house. TVs have to be seen. That’s part of their word, “vision.” One year, IContinue reading “Greed And Consumerism Haunt ‘Poltergeist’”

Hey, You Hosers, ‘Strange Brew’ Is A Beauty, Eh?

Before there was Wayne and Garth of Wayne’s World, there was Doug and Bob McKenzie. The comedic duo were the work of Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis and became popular on SCTV. They were just two brothers from The Great White North, i.e. Canada, who loved beer, back bacon and doughnuts. They were parodies ofContinue reading “Hey, You Hosers, ‘Strange Brew’ Is A Beauty, Eh?”

Is There A Billy Bob Thornton Curse?

Like most people, I don’t really believe in so called curses or conspiracy theories. Part of the reason is that if you dig a little deeper, you’d find more things that have been abandoned to fit the narrative. I once read about a columnist who said that if a reporter/journalist ever feels to make oneContinue reading “Is There A Billy Bob Thornton Curse?”

Velma Comes Out In ‘Trick Or Treat Scooby-Doo!’

Velma Dinkley was supposed to be the ying to Daphne Blake’s yang. She was the book-smart, more logical one to Daphne’s All-American cheerleader preppy girl archetype. In many ways, people have said the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? modeled its characters after the characters from The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. You can see theContinue reading “Velma Comes Out In ‘Trick Or Treat Scooby-Doo!’”

How ‘Thriller’ Set The Standard For Music Videos

Before I begin this, let me do a preface similar to the Thriller video that I’m not a fan of Michael Jackson following the sexual abuse allegations. I also think John Landis should have taken more responsibility for his actions. Vic Morrow and two Vietnamese child actors lost their lives 40 years ago because LandisContinue reading “How ‘Thriller’ Set The Standard For Music Videos”
