Thirty years have passed since the standoff at Mount Carmel outside Waco, Texas when the Branch Davidian compound erupted in flames following a 51-day standoff with federal agents and law enforcement. Who was to blame? That’s been the biggest question that people have been asking themselves since April 19, 1993. I’ve researched a lot ofContinue reading “‘Waco: American Apocalypse’ Presents Most Objective View Of 1993 Standoff”

‘Selective Outrage’ Appropriate Title For Chris Rock Netflix Special
While Netflix has been making bank with many Netflix specials featuring comedians talking about how they’ve been canceled (i.e. Dave Chappelle), it seemed inevitable they’d lure Chris Rock away from HBO (which used to be the go-to place). Originally airing as a live special in the early part of March, Rock, now 58, seems almostContinue reading “‘Selective Outrage’ Appropriate Title For Chris Rock Netflix Special”
‘Pretty Baby’ Almost Exploits Same Creepy Celebrity Culture Meant To Expose
For a while, it seemed Brooke Shields was everywhere. Becoming popular in the later 1970s while she was still just a child, she made movies through the first part of the 1980s and appeared everywhere. Then, she was gone. Actually, she went on to Princeton University which became a huge story but it’s almost likeContinue reading “‘Pretty Baby’ Almost Exploits Same Creepy Celebrity Culture Meant To Expose”
‘Cocaine Bear’ Packs A Nice Jolt
Cocaine Bear wonderfully avoids the same problems that plagued Snakes on a Plane back in 2006 with the first one being that it was filmed and intended to be an R-rated movie, rather than reshoots added in post-production to make it that way which affected SOAP. And the plot is so absurd that even ifContinue reading “‘Cocaine Bear’ Packs A Nice Jolt”

‘Once Bitten’ An Allgory Of The HIV/AIDS Crisis In The 1980s
By the time, Once Bitten opened in theaters in mid-November 1985 (two weeks after Halloween for some reason!), Rock Hudson had been dead for about six weeks. The HIV/AIDS crisis had entered into the homes of Middle Americans (aka conservative Christian WASPs). Charlatans like Jerry Falwell was still calling it a plague for gay peopleContinue reading “‘Once Bitten’ An Allgory Of The HIV/AIDS Crisis In The 1980s”
‘The Lord Of The Rings’ Animated Feature Remains Divided Among Tolkein Fans After 35 Years
It’s been less than 20 years since Peter Jackson’s epic adaptation of The Lord of the Rings into a trilogy of movies hit theaters. The spectacle of doing three movies at such great lengths through New Line Cinema, which was still considered an independent studio, was a risk that would’ve bankrupted the studio and torpedoedContinue reading “‘The Lord Of The Rings’ Animated Feature Remains Divided Among Tolkein Fans After 35 Years”
“Woke” And “Wokeness” Are The New Buggerbears Of Prejudice And Bigotry
I’ve often thought that very vocal racists and bigots are really the most genuine people. Why? Because they tell you everything you need to know about them. Someone like white supremacist David Duke or far-right politian Pat Buchanan are the type of people who are probably the same in public as they are around friendsContinue reading ““Woke” And “Wokeness” Are The New Buggerbears Of Prejudice And Bigotry”
‘Spider-Man: Bloodline’ Is As Bad As You’ve Probably Heard
What happened to J.J. Abrams? For a while, he seemed on fire. He had hit TV shows with Alias and Lost. But then, Paramount Pictures decided that he should direct the third Mission: Impossible movie. And it’s the worst of the franchise. There’s a complicated plot. Philip Seymour Hoffman is not a good villain andContinue reading “‘Spider-Man: Bloodline’ Is As Bad As You’ve Probably Heard”
‘Marlon Bundo’ Parody Book Actually Teaches Love And Acceptance
Easter has come and gone, but that doesn’t mean you can’t stop loving everyone just for who they are, not what you want them to be. Originally intended as a parody book and commissioned by Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo presents a story for people ofContinue reading “‘Marlon Bundo’ Parody Book Actually Teaches Love And Acceptance”
