‘Turning Red’ Should Usher In A New Wave Of Animated Features
Turning Red is a cute, charming, and entertaining animated feature. I’m just puzzled why Disney would regulate the movie, made by frequent collaborator Pixar Animation Studios, just to its online streaming service Disney-Plus.

‘Caddyshack’ Is Still Alright
While the Masters have come and gone in Augusta, Ga. as of this posting with the winner being Scott Scheffler, it’s hard to watch Caddyshack and even think about the Masters the same way again. The winner in my mind will also be Carl Spackler (Bill Murray), the grizzled but not too bright assistant greenskeeperContinue reading “‘Caddyshack’ Is Still Alright”
‘Deadlock’ Showcases Downfall Of Bruce Willis’ Health And Career

‘Last Night In Soho’ Is A Lynchian Thriller
Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho is the director’s attempt to pull off a David Lynchian style thriller that focuses more on dreams and perceptions of reality. And like most David Lynch movies, the second half is way different than the first half. But Wright doesn’t take Lynch’s gutsy attempt to make a thriller thatContinue reading “‘Last Night In Soho’ Is A Lynchian Thriller”

That’s Me In The Spotlight Losing My Religion
Before I begin, let preface this with saying, some might find it offensive. I am not a religious person. At 43, it’s time to devote whatever life I have left to better things than organized religion. I’ve been wanting to write this for some time. But I’ve been putting it off and I can’t holdContinue reading “That’s Me In The Spotlight Losing My Religion”
