I’m not the best person to review the Moon Knight series on Disney-Plus. I guess I’m coming in as the layperson reviewer.

‘Lost City’ Reboots ‘Romancing The Stone’ For New Generation
You can’t go into The Lost City without thinking almost immediately that it seems like a reboot/remake of Romancing the Stone, the surprise 1984 hit that rebuilt Michael Douglas’ career as a leading man and made Kathleen Turner the star she became. Originally thought to be a disaster, Robert Zemeckis, the director of that movie,Continue reading “‘Lost City’ Reboots ‘Romancing The Stone’ For New Generation”

‘No Way Home’ Finds Right Path For Spider-Man Franchise
I’ve always loved Spider-Man. That being said, his transition to the big screen has been a rocky road over the last several decades. During the 1980s. the defunct Cannon Group had held the rights to the comic but the Israeli-producers of Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus initially thought it was a horror movie about aContinue reading “‘No Way Home’ Finds Right Path For Spider-Man Franchise”
A Bittersweet Mother’s Day
When you lose a person you love, some days hit harder than others. Every day is painful though. You always have that feeling. Today was Mother’s Day and it was hard for me.

There Are No Small Roles And No Small Actors
Mike Hagerty often portrayed blue-collar people mainly because he looked like a blue-collar type of guy. With that burly build, somewhat unkept curly brown hair and brostache, he looked like he was about to say “Da Bears.” On April 29, he passed away at the age of 67. Hagerty was from Chicago and attended theContinue reading “There Are No Small Roles And No Small Actors”
‘Find Me Guilty’ Showcases Vin Diesel’s Acting, Sidney Lumet’s Directing (And Samuel Alito’s Incompetence)

Why People Unjustly (And Legitimately) Hate ‘The Last Jedi’
With it being May 4, aka May the Fourth be with you, I’d thought I’d examine one of the most notoriously reviled entries in the Star Wars franchise. No, not The Star Wars Holiday Special. I’m talking about The Last Jedi, the eighth episode in the Skywalker saga. The Last Jedi has become the epitomeContinue reading “Why People Unjustly (And Legitimately) Hate ‘The Last Jedi’”
Julia Roberts’ Performance Keeps ‘Gaslit’ Aglow
The Watergate scandal happened almost 50 years ago. What was initially a low-level breaking and entering case turned into a national scandal that divided people even more and caused a U.S. President to resign. This story has been told before several times, most famously in All the President’s Men. But what has hardly been mentionedContinue reading “Julia Roberts’ Performance Keeps ‘Gaslit’ Aglow”
