‘The Patient’ Wears On Your Patience

The Patient, a 10-episode limited series, that is on Hulu is the prime example of why limited series are getting out of hand. Episodes ranged from as short as 21 minutes with credits to as long as 46 minutes with credits. This is about five hours of a series that could’ve very easily been squeezedContinue reading “‘The Patient’ Wears On Your Patience”

The Best Batman Movie You May Not Have Heard About

As a Batman fan, I was sadden to hear of the passing of Kevin Conroy due to intestinal cancer on Nov. 10. As an openly gay man, he appeared in many movies and TV shows throughout his life. But in 1992, he was tapped to voice Bruce Wayne/Batman in the landmark Batman: The Animated SeriesContinue reading “The Best Batman Movie You May Not Have Heard About”

‘Bram’s Stoker’s Dracula’ A Wonderful Gothic Horror Movie

Ask someone what they think of when you mention Dracula, and it’s either Bela Lugosi or Christopher Lee. Lugosi so embraced the character that rumor has it his dying wishes were to be buried in the vampire cape.

‘Crimes Of The Future’ Is An Assault On Cinema Even By Cronenberg’s Standards

‘Don’t Worry Darling’ This Movie Isn’t Worth Your Time

Every now and again, the drama about a movie behind the scenes makes it at least worth watching. Sometimes, you’d almost wish someone would do what Christopher Walken’s character did in America’s Sweethearts and just secretly film all the behind the scenes stuff rather than show us what was supposed to be filmed from theContinue reading “‘Don’t Worry Darling’ This Movie Isn’t Worth Your Time”

The Last Act Of A Desperate Political Party

The Republican Party is dying. It’s on its last leg and slouches like that rough beast William Butler Yeats talked about. It didn’t have to be this way. The Republican Party was the Party of Lincoln. It no longer can say that. It’s so far removed from Lincoln or Dwight Eisenhower or even Teddy RoosleveltContinue reading “The Last Act Of A Desperate Political Party”

‘God Forbid’ Focuses On Unbelievable Sex Scandal

One of the most landmark First Amendment cases took place in the 1980s when Jerry Falwell sued Hustler and publisher Larry Flynt over a fake Campari ad in which he talked about his first time having sex with his mother in an outhouse. It was so absurd that no one could believe it as aContinue reading “‘God Forbid’ Focuses On Unbelievable Sex Scandal”
