The recent death of Bob McGrath must be a sad one for many people who grew up watching him on Sesame Street. He was on the show from 1969 to 2016. The adults on the show often seemed to play second banana to Big Bird, Grover and Bert & Ernie. So, appearing on the showContinue reading “‘Muppet Family Christmas’ The Perfect Jim Henson Crossover”

‘All Creatures Were Stirring’ Is Like ‘Creepshow’ Ordered From Wish
Horror anthologies are always hit or miss. Look at the V/H/S movies. In my opinion, only the first two Creepshow movies and their cousin Tales from the Darkside: The Movie managed to make every story worthwhile. All Creatures Were Stirring wants to be A Christmas Creepshow, but it ends up looking like something you’d usedContinue reading “‘All Creatures Were Stirring’ Is Like ‘Creepshow’ Ordered From Wish”
‘The Silent Twins’ Is Full Of Sound And Fury Signifying Nothing
The Silent Twins is based on the strange true-crime case of June and Jennifer Gibbons, two twins of Carribean descent who lived in the United Kingdom, mostly in Wales, and were often subject to racism because they were the only black people at their school. For reasons that never make sense and are never exploredContinue reading “‘The Silent Twins’ Is Full Of Sound And Fury Signifying Nothing”
It’s Been 10 Years Since Sandy Hook And We Haven’t Done A Goddamn Thing
Today, Dec. 14 may not be as memorable as 9/11 mostly because one political party decided a long time ago not to make much mention of it. And yet, they’ve been exploiting the deaths of 9/11 for political gane since day one. If you don’t know, it was on Dec. 14, 2012, some worthless pieceContinue reading “It’s Been 10 Years Since Sandy Hook And We Haven’t Done A Goddamn Thing”
We Need To Talk About ‘Andor’
There are two types of Star Wars fans – those that like just about everything and those that detest everything except the original trilogy, The Mandalorian and Rogue One. I’ll admit I was excited to see Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, until I saw it. I sat through an hour not caring what wasContinue reading “We Need To Talk About ‘Andor’”
First-Class Talent Get Bumped To Economy Class ‘Ticket To Paradise’
Ticket to Paradise is one of those movies that seems to live in the Nancy Myers world where everyone is very well off financially and seems to have the means and abilities to drop everything they’re doing and travel halfway across the country on a moment’s notice. I give director Ol Parker credit for addingContinue reading “First-Class Talent Get Bumped To Economy Class ‘Ticket To Paradise’”
‘Dual’ Lacks Satisfying Execution
Dual is one of those movies that presents a lot of great ideas but does little with them. Set in the future during an undetermined time, it begins with Theo James as someone who seems to be hunted in front of an audience. He is shot with a crossbow arrow but is able to defeatContinue reading “‘Dual’ Lacks Satisfying Execution”
Tis The Season Of The Double Standard
Let me start off by saying I offer my most sincere condolensces to the family and close friends of Kirstie Alley. I may not have agreed with her on some things she said these last fews year (and she said a lot). I’m no monster. Cancer is a hard way to go for anyone andContinue reading “Tis The Season Of The Double Standard”
‘Christmas Bloody Christmas’ Is A Bloody F@$&in’ Mess
Christmas Bloody Christmas is the lastest entry in the Killer Santa subgenre of horror that has exploded in the last couple of decades. Even though it’s not good, I still think Goldberg killed it as a murdering Santa in Santa’s Slay. But this one is a mixture of Bad Santa meets The Terminator with aContinue reading “‘Christmas Bloody Christmas’ Is A Bloody F@$&in’ Mess”
‘Scarface’ Pushes It To The Limit Because “Nothing Exceeds Like Excess”
Brian DePalma was always one of those directors during the 1960s and 1970s who seemed to be on the finge of Hollywood. So, it’s no surprise that he wasn’t the first choice to direct a remake of the 1932 Howard Hawks original Scarface. It was actually Sidney Lumet who Al Pacino and his manager/film producerContinue reading “‘Scarface’ Pushes It To The Limit Because “Nothing Exceeds Like Excess””
