Fall is a movie about two young woman who enjoy mountain climbing going to climb a decommissioned B67 TV tower in the Mojave Desert and everything goes just smoothly. End credits. I’m just joking. Of course, something goes wrong. Something always goes wrong. And since they’re mountain climbers for fun, there’s a prologue where aContinue reading “‘Fall’ Has Great Visuals, But A Plot With Its Head Is In The Clouds”

We Need To Talk About Leo (And More Important What It Says About Our Society)
It was 25 years ago, I sat in a movie theater in Statesboro, Ga., during the winter of 1998 watching Titanic. Young girls swooned and gasped as Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jack Dawson was on screen, especially when he puts on the tuxedo. And during the death scene as he is freezing to death in the icyContinue reading “We Need To Talk About Leo (And More Important What It Says About Our Society)”
‘Manifesto Of A Serial Killer’ Scratches Surface Of Notorious Killers
The three-part true-crime docuseries Manifesto of a Serial Killer walks a thin line between being exploitative of the victims and focusing on their lives and memories. A mere three hours might not have been enough time considering it examines one of the most horrifying serial killer cases in history. The focus is on serial killersContinue reading “‘Manifesto Of A Serial Killer’ Scratches Surface Of Notorious Killers”
‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ Has Its Moments But Stuck In Phase Four Malaise
I commend Marvel Studios and their parent company, Disney, for not recasting the role of T’Challa following the death of Chadwick Boseman in 2020. He had played the role in four movies and made it his own. It would’ve been wrong in every way to recast it. That being said, I feel Black Panther: WakandaContinue reading “‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ Has Its Moments But Stuck In Phase Four Malaise”
Why We Never Talk About Grief And Mourning In Our Society
I have a cousin that died as an infant. She is rarely ever discussed. She had health problems and some mental problems. If she had lived, she would have turned 40 this year. I had an aunt who committed suicide before I was born. She was hardly ever discussed and if so, it was somethingContinue reading “Why We Never Talk About Grief And Mourning In Our Society”

She’s getting better but she’s still struggling as open heart surgery is inevitable. If you could please help by donating at https://fundly.com/keep-kat-alive, we would all appreciate your support.

Toxic Masculinity On Full Display In ‘The Most Hated Man On The Internet’
I may have heard the name Hunter Moore over a decade ago, but I had forgotten the whole scandal at the center of Netflix’s three-part docuseries The Most Hated Man on the Internet. I had seen people like Hunter Moore before. I had gone to school with them. I had worked with them. Moore wasContinue reading “Toxic Masculinity On Full Display In ‘The Most Hated Man On The Internet’”
The Worst Day Of My Life
It’s strange how certain days that are memorable have certain familiarities to them. When I was with my ex, she got admitted to the hospital on Jan. 2, 2018 with pnuemonia and RSV. We drove to a Tulsa hospital in the middle of the night. A year later, on Jan. 2, 2019, we were backContinue reading “The Worst Day Of My Life”
‘Bloody’ Good Remake Of Valentine Horror/Slasher Classic
They say the best way to criticize a movie is to make a better movie. No one was calling for a remake of the 1981 horror/slasher classic My Bloody Valentine. But as the old saying goes, “What’s old is new again.” The 3-D format had become popular again around the end of the 2000s andContinue reading “‘Bloody’ Good Remake Of Valentine Horror/Slasher Classic”
‘Pamela: A Love Story’ Is A Candid, Intimate Eye-Opener
Pamela: A Love Story reminds me of The Girl Next Door, a 1999 documentary focusing on the life of porn actress Stacy Valentine. Pamela Anderson was just like Stacy Valentine and probably many, many other women who grew up in towns and communities where people go to church on Sunday and turn July 4 inContinue reading “‘Pamela: A Love Story’ Is A Candid, Intimate Eye-Opener”
