Public Prayer Ruling Is A Solution In Search Of A Lot Of Problems
While overly zealous Christians in America are happy that the case of forner coach Joe Kennedy who was let go from the Bremerton, Wash. school district for a prayer on the 50-yard-line that turned very public, they may have made it harder for their cause.

‘Orville: New Horizons’ Boldly Goes Where Topical TV Has Gone Before
When The Orville premiered on Fox in the Fall of 2017, the show created by Seth MacFarlane, as well as being produced and starring him, probably had many people groaning. What was the creator behind shows like Family Guy and American Dad doing with a sci-fi show in the vein of Star Trek?

‘Jaws’ Still Has Its Bite
When Jaws hit the theaters in the summe of 1975, it came after a very long and difficult production that would determine whether the young director Steven Spielberg would have a career in movies or would drift through the TV wasteland of forgotten cop dramas and canceled too earlied sitcoms.

Women Came Into Their Own In Many Ways In 1990s Movies
Without a doubt as the 1990s came upon people, times were changing. Women were allowed to be sexy instead of sex objects.

‘Belfast’ Tells A Story We’ve Seen Too Many Times Before
A movie like Belfast has been made before, and probably will be made again many times I suspect. Directors love to make semi-autobiographical movies. John Boorman did it with Hope and Glory. Barry Levinson did it with Avalon. Greta Gerwig did it with Ladybird. You’d almost wish they’d just do a movie about themselves butContinue reading “‘Belfast’ Tells A Story We’ve Seen Too Many Times Before”
‘Beavis And Butt-head Do The Universe’ Is A Long-Awaited Sequel/Update

They instead think it’s something that makes them better than people who are good at school or have a musical talent. They are two horny teenage boys who have no goals inContinue reading “‘Beavis And Butt-head Do The Universe’ Is A Long-Awaited Sequel/Update”
‘Doctor Strange In The Multiverse’ Of MCU Filler
The problem with the Marvel Cinematic Universe since around 2015 is half of the movies seem to be more about filler material and setting up the next bigger movie. Can anyone really tell me why Ant-Man was so important except introducing Hank Pym and the titular character? And the sequel I can’t remember much ofContinue reading “‘Doctor Strange In The Multiverse’ Of MCU Filler”
‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ Remains The Master
Since his breakout role as heroin addict Mark Renton in Trainspotting, Ewan McGregor has remained one of the few actors who seems to balance high-profile roles in the Star Wars universe and DCEU as well as maintain his indie film roots and still surprise us.
