Mila Kunis started out as a child actress who rose to fame appearing as the ditzy Jackie Burkhart in That 70’s Show and voicing Meg Griffin on Family Guy. After that, she struggled to get her film career off the ground with some forgettable movies, such as American Psycho 2. But then, she was castContinue reading “Mila Kunis Keeps ‘Luckiest Girl Alive’ A Winner”

Movie Villains Who Have Been Heroes In Real Life
The entertainment business is full of people who give off a different perception of who they are. It’s well known many actors who often play the good guys may not be so likeable in real life. And those who often play gangsters, killers and scummy characters are very nice to be around. Everyone loves toContinue reading “Movie Villains Who Have Been Heroes In Real Life”
‘Deadstream’ Works As B-Movie Horror/Comedy
I’ll be blunt in that the found footage horror genre is an overused genre. It was over and done with after the success of The Blair Witch Project. That’s why it mostly remained dormant for almost a decade until Paranormal Activity. Many filmmakers in the late 1980s and 1990s had already used the home videoContinue reading “‘Deadstream’ Works As B-Movie Horror/Comedy”
‘Hellraiser’ A Potpourri Of Pleasure And Pain
I was never really a fan of the Hellraiser franchise. I think I’ve only seen the first one twice. Clive Barker’s seminal directorial debut introduced the character later known as Pinhead to the horror universe. The movie was released in 1987 when the slasher subgenre had made horror less liked among critics and fans. AndContinue reading “‘Hellraiser’ A Potpourri Of Pleasure And Pain”
‘Werewolf By Night’ Brings Horror To The MCU
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?’”
