‘Lightyear’ Goes Beyond Toy Story Character

Lightyear was probably never going to be as successful as the the Toy Story franchise that spawned Buzz Lightyear. What made all four previous movies was how they worked as an ensemble. I remember watching Toy Story 2 and realizing how they had gotten how to evenly showcase each character and the actors voicing them.Continue reading “‘Lightyear’ Goes Beyond Toy Story Character”

The Sad Tragedy Of ‘Cujo’

For almost 40 years, the word “Cujo” has become synonymous with vicious dogs. This is a misnomer because the Cujo the St. Bernanard is nothing more than a victim. Released on this date, Aug. 12, 1983, Cujo was a modest success despite getting not too favorable reviews. In his book, On Writing, Stephen King talkedContinue reading “The Sad Tragedy Of ‘Cujo’”

Winning Isn’t Everything…

By now, you’ve probably already seen the video of Tulsa little leaguer Isaiah Jarvis comforting Pearland, Texas little league pitcher Kaiden Shleton who was visibly upset over beaning Jarvis in a recent championship game. If this was the majors, they’d been fighting on the mount with the other players coming in for a brawl. InContinue reading “Winning Isn’t Everything…”

‘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”

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”
