With news this week the U.S. Supreme Court is drafting an opinion that essentially overturns Roe v. Wade, conservatives and especially the Republican Party may be taken a premature victory lap. While the Court hasn’t officially announced it, the brief behind prepared by Justice Samuel Alito seems to show that he and Justices Neil Gorsuch,Continue reading “Overturning Roe v. Wade May Be The GOP’s Waterloo”

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”
‘V’ Showed Us Aliens Have A Facist Agenda
Following the success of Star Wars in 1977, movie/television producers and studios went through an explosion of sci-fi related movies and shows. There was Battlestar Galactica, Battle Beyong the Stars and even Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Most of these were poorly received. So, when Kenneth Johnson, who had worked on The Bionic Woman andContinue reading “‘V’ Showed Us Aliens Have A Facist Agenda”
‘Friday The 13th Part 2’ Turns 41 Giving Us Iconic Jason Vorhees
The original Friday the 13th, released in 1980, was really nothing more than a cash grab to piggyback off the success of Halloween. And even though critics savaged it, times have changed and it’s more praised now. And Friday the 13th Part 2 wasn’t much different and citics were just as bad. But times haveContinue reading “‘Friday The 13th Part 2’ Turns 41 Giving Us Iconic Jason Vorhees”
Movies In Which The Protagonists Are Really The Villains
Everyone loves to play the bad guy, but a lot of movies have turned the protagonists, the ones we’re supposed to sympathize with into the villains without us knowing it. I’m not talking about clever movies like Looper or movies that tricked us into believing Dwayne Johnson/The Rock was the good guy in Doom whenContinue reading “Movies In Which The Protagonists Are Really The Villains”
Why The MCU Tiptoes Around The True Horrors Of The Snap/Blip
It’s no surprise Avengers: Endgame was released in 2019, approximately 50 years after the moon landing. Because just like space exploration, the MCU has been trying to keep itself fresh thanks to a worldwide pandemic and whatever Eternals was supposed to be. Flashing back to 2018 when Avengers: Infinity War opened, it all ended withContinue reading “Why The MCU Tiptoes Around The True Horrors Of The Snap/Blip”
‘Deep Rising’ Gives Us B-Movie Sea Monster Fun
Flashback for one moment to the Winter of 1998 and there is a movie in theaters about a huge cruise ship on its maiden voyage suffering a disaster that kills the majority of its crew and passengers. If you’re thinking of Titanic, James Cameron’s Oscar-winning epic, well, you’re wrong. But good guess. No, I’m talkingContinue reading “‘Deep Rising’ Gives Us B-Movie Sea Monster Fun”
‘No Time To Die’ Turns Craig’s Swan Song As Bond Into Bittersweet Ballad
I’ve noticed a trend in the titles of the James Bond movies that relate to the actors’ final entry as 007 of Her Majesty’s Secret Service. They all have something to do with living and dying. For Pierce Brosnan, it was Die Another Day. Timothy Dalton’s second and final Bond role was in License toContinue reading “‘No Time To Die’ Turns Craig’s Swan Song As Bond Into Bittersweet Ballad”
A Reminder That Free Speech Is Fragile
In the past week, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his Florida Republicans decided that the Walt Disney Corporation deserved to be punished for speaking out against the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. Also, the Supreme Court is hearing a case on whether a football coach has the right to pray on school grounds (and more important,Continue reading “A Reminder That Free Speech Is Fragile”
