Why ‘Beyond Belief’ Was The Best TV Show You Probably Never Saw

For anyone that grew up during the 1980s and 1990s, there was a push by so many filmmakers and media moguls to make the next best anthology series. In the mid-1980s, CBS tried to revive The Twilight Zone and got The Grateful Dead to do the theme music with everyone from Wes Craven to JohnContinue reading “Why ‘Beyond Belief’ Was The Best TV Show You Probably Never Saw”

Dale Murphy: Always A Bridesmaid, Never A Bride

Major League Baseball had its Hall of Fame ceremony recently and as usual, Dale Murphy’s name wasn’t on the list of the latest inductees. Murphy, who played 18 seasons, 15 of those for the Atlanta Braves, joins the likes of Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens in the long list of “What in the Sam HillContinue reading “Dale Murphy: Always A Bridesmaid, Never A Bride”

‘The Gray Man’ Lacks Any Colorful Characters Or Plot

The Russo Brothers (Joe and Anthony) had some big expectations after they’re back-to-back success of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers:Endgame. I’d argue they basically boosted abilities of the MCU with their hit films Captain America: The Winter Soldier (the best so far) and Captain America: Civil War (which seemed like a pseudo-Avengers movie). They weren’tContinue reading “‘The Gray Man’ Lacks Any Colorful Characters Or Plot”

‘Sleepaway Camp’ Has Little Thrills But One Helluva Twist

By the fall of 1983 when Sleepaway Camp was released, slasher movies were beginning their downturn. It’s easier to see this is a lower knock-off of Friday the 13th, itself an attempt to cash in on the success of Halloween. At this point, filmmakers had to have an ace up their sleeve to keep itContinue reading “‘Sleepaway Camp’ Has Little Thrills But One Helluva Twist”

We Need To Talk About Eddie Munson

While another Stranger Things season has come and gone, the break-out character has been Eddie Munson. Eddie played remarkably well by British actor Joseph Quinn at first seems like the stereotypical bad boy. He’s in his second year as a senior at Hawkins High School. He deals pot, which isn’t too bad, but very badContinue reading “We Need To Talk About Eddie Munson”

‘Deliverance’ Still Plays The Game 50 Years Later

What’s so scary about a movie like Deliverance isn’t that one scene we’re all familiar with but another in which the main character, Ed Gentry (Jon Voight), kills a person who may or may not be dangerous. Ed is one of four people from the metro Atlanta area up in north Georgia on a canoeContinue reading “‘Deliverance’ Still Plays The Game 50 Years Later”

‘Ms. Marvel’ Is Proof The MCU Is Jumping The Shark

It’s only been three years since Avengers: Endgame but it seems like much longer as every time we turn around there is a MCU movie or TV series with no end in sight to what it all means. I think the biggest mistake was using the word “Endgame” as it signifies an ending. But sinceContinue reading “‘Ms. Marvel’ Is Proof The MCU Is Jumping The Shark”

‘I Want You Back’ Is A RomCom For Grown-Ups

I Want You Back is an appropriate title. It’s a flashback to an era in which adult couples in comedies acted like adults, well mostly, in movies. It was before the 2000s where they began to despise each other for no other reason then plot find themselves in love in the final act because ofContinue reading “‘I Want You Back’ Is A RomCom For Grown-Ups”
