About 20 years ago, I received my weekly subscription copy of Entertainment Weekly and Michael Jackson was on the cover with his rhinestone white glove and the similar dance pose he did.

‘The Patient’ Wears On Your Patience
The Patient, a 10-episode limited series, that is on Hulu is the prime example of why limited series are getting out of hand. Episodes ranged from as short as 21 minutes with credits to as long as 46 minutes with credits.

The Best Batman Movie You May Not Have Heard About
As a Batman fan, I was sadden to hear of the passing of Kevin Conroy due to intestinal cancer on Nov. 10. As an openly gay man, he appeared in many movies and TV shows throughout his life.

‘Don’t Worry Darling’ This Movie Isn’t Worth Your Time
Every now and again, the drama about a movie behind the scenes makes it at least worth watching. Sometimes, you’d almost wish someone would do what Christopher Walken’s character did in America’s Sweethearts and just secretly film all the behind the scenes stuff rather than show us what was supposed to be filmed from theContinue reading “‘Don’t Worry Darling’ This Movie Isn’t Worth Your Time”
