Without a doubt, the MCU had benefitted a lot in the last two years from the Disney-Plus streaming service. The Covid-19 pandemic threw the MCU into a mess with Phase 4 was supposed to be a new beginning following the Infinity Saga. While the question remains exactly where it’s all headed, it’s likely the MCUContinue reading “‘Werewolf By Night’ Brings Horror To The MCU”

To Err Is Human; To Forgive Is Gaslighting
Herschel Walker released a campaign ad this past week that really doesn’t say much. As you might have heard, the Georgie Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate has a very checkered history. His own son, Christian, who up until a week ago was showing the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree, put hisContinue reading “To Err Is Human; To Forgive Is Gaslighting”
‘Beast’ Isn’t Exactly The Cat’s Meow
You can’t blame an actor like Idris Elba for taking on a role like his in Beast. He gets to film a movie in the African Savannah. His character is a medical doctor. He gets to punch a ferocious lion, even though it’s just CGI. And he probably got a nice paycheck out of theContinue reading “‘Beast’ Isn’t Exactly The Cat’s Meow”
‘Dark Night Of The Scarecrow’ Excels As Made-For-TV Horror/Thriller
Dark Night of the Scarecrow is a reminder of a bye-gone era in which made-for-TV movies were just as good as what was shown in the theaters. You have Brian’s Song and Duel which both proved to be such hits that they were shown in theaters with Duel getting additional footage shot by a youngContinue reading “‘Dark Night Of The Scarecrow’ Excels As Made-For-TV Horror/Thriller”
‘Red Rock West’ A Neo-Noir, Neo-Western Hitchcockian Thriller
Red Rock West is one of those movies that was shown on HBO in the fall of 1993 and hinting to anyone and everyone it was a dud. HBO would feature movies in the early 1990s on “Thursday Night Prime.” Many of these movies were bona fide straight to video schlock like Stepfather III andContinue reading “‘Red Rock West’ A Neo-Noir, Neo-Western Hitchcockian Thriller”
What’s The Deal With ‘Andor?’
When they were pitching the idea for what would become Seinfeld, Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld called it a show about nothing. I think they used the same pitche when they told Disney-Plus about Andor. Five episodes in to what is a reported 12-episode season and this show has abosutely nothing going on with it.Continue reading “What’s The Deal With ‘Andor?’”
The Absurdity Of ‘Children Of The Corn’
Children of the Corn is one of those movies when you dig further into the story you realize just how absurd it is. The movie opens on a regular Sunday afternoon in the small agricultural town of Gatlin, Neb., which has experienced a bad harvest. We met one of the movie’s young protagonist and narrator,Continue reading “The Absurdity Of ‘Children Of The Corn’”
‘Gold’ Never Measures Up To Standards Of Greater Post-Apocalyptic Movies
Gold is one of those movies that an actor like Zac Efron would make. It’s a movie in which he wants to prove to the world that despite all the High School Musical movies and his role as a hunky lifeguard in Baywatch, he can act, damn it. Charlize Theron pretty much has been doingContinue reading “‘Gold’ Never Measures Up To Standards Of Greater Post-Apocalyptic Movies”
Nostaglia Aside, Hocus Pocus 2 Is Uneven Mixture Of Witches Brew
I wasn’t a big fan of the first Hocus Pocus. I’ve only seen it twice. Once, when it was on TV back in the 1990s and the other time was last year on Disney-Plus. I never got into the whole movie. Maybe it was because I was 15 when it came out and it onlyContinue reading “Nostaglia Aside, Hocus Pocus 2 Is Uneven Mixture Of Witches Brew”
‘Raven’s Hollow’ Takes Poe On Gothic Horror Trip
Supposedly, Sylvester Stallone has been trying for decades to make a movie about the life and times of Edgar Allen Poe. For many, the short life of the writer who is believed to have contributed as much to American literature as any other, has been one of mystery. Poe is believed to have created theContinue reading “‘Raven’s Hollow’ Takes Poe On Gothic Horror Trip”
