‘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’”

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”
