‘What Josiah Saw’ Loads Too Much Southern Gothic Horror In The Mix

A movie like What Josiah Saw is an example of a movie that could’ve been way better. I liked parts of it, but I found the overall movie to drag at times in which it didn’t need to. At about two hours including credits, it needs to be a little shorter but at the sameContinue reading “‘What Josiah Saw’ Loads Too Much Southern Gothic Horror In The Mix”

Mar-a-Lago Raid Is The Beginning Of The End Of Trump’s Political Career

As of this posting, it’s been less than 36 hours since FBI agents served a search warrant at ther Mar-a-Lago Club. We know they were searching for official records from the National Archives and Records Administration that former President Donald Trump might have allegedly taken unofficially from the White House. First thing foremost, to executeContinue reading “Mar-a-Lago Raid Is The Beginning Of The End Of Trump’s Political Career”

Alex Jones Crossed A Line And Now Is Being Held Accountable

Let me start off by saying, I’m a firm believer of the First Amendment. However, what Alex Jones and countless other people have done isn’t news reporting. It’s fear mongering. It’s bullying and harassment. It’s screaming “Fire!” in a crowded room. Jones, and others beginning with Rush Limbaugh and to a degree Don Imus, spokeContinue reading “Alex Jones Crossed A Line And Now Is Being Held Accountable”

‘Honor Society’ Makes The Grade Despite Misleading Marketing

A movie like Honor Society reminds me of countless college courses people take thinking it is going to be one thing, but discover it isn’t. I thought of taking Intro to Astronomy but never did because I had reservations it was going to be a lot harder than I thought. I found out from otherContinue reading “‘Honor Society’ Makes The Grade Despite Misleading Marketing”

‘Prey’ Worthy Entry In Predator Franchise

I’m no big fan of prequels. You really already know what’s going to happen, so there’s no thrill or surprise if you know what happens and doesn’t happen to characters. There were a few good prequels. You have Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and then there’s The Godfather Part II. Even as aContinue reading “‘Prey’ Worthy Entry In Predator Franchise”

‘Collateral’ Gritty Thriller Showcases Tom Cruise’s Dark Side

Love him or hate him, Tom Cruise is one of the biggest Hollywood stars currently living and of all time. At 60, his long-awaited sequel Top Gun: Maverick is killing it at the box office with great reviews. The Mission: Impossible movies are still popular. And even the rumors that he would appear as IronContinue reading “‘Collateral’ Gritty Thriller Showcases Tom Cruise’s Dark Side”

Kansas Abortion Vote Shows A Long Battle Ahead For Both Sides

Nothing in life is certain. Even the old “Death and Taxes” quote Benjamin Franklin coined now doesn’t apply to the wealthy who use tax laws and lobbying to cheat paying taxes. I’m sure conservative lobbyists and politicians in Kansas thought the abortion amendment to the state’s constitution was a sure deal. And to secure theContinue reading “Kansas Abortion Vote Shows A Long Battle Ahead For Both Sides”

‘They/Them’ Sure To Upset Anyone And Everyone

They/Them is a horror movie about a conversion therapy camp, which alone should be terrifying enough, but the movie also throws a slasher subplot into the mix. It’s struggling with its own identity. To put it bluntly, it plays like Ryan Murphy fanfiction, a combination of American Horror Story with Glee because at one pointContinue reading “‘They/Them’ Sure To Upset Anyone And Everyone”

‘Unforgiven’ Destroyed The Western Archetype

I never did like John Wayne. Even before I learned of just how awful a person he was, I didn’t understand this fascination with a man who was played the same character over and over with no range. He wasn’t a real cowboy and he really never served in war time combat. So, I don’tContinue reading “‘Unforgiven’ Destroyed The Western Archetype”

‘Fright Night’ Brought Queer Horror To The Reaganeighties

By the time Fright Night hit theaters in early August 1985, HIV/AIDS was becoming more known in the heartland. It may have been still referred to as the “gay cancer” in some circles but more people were taking it seriously. A week before Fright Night hit theaters, Rock Hudson had announced to the world thatContinue reading “‘Fright Night’ Brought Queer Horror To The Reaganeighties”
