‘Mother/Android’ Dark, Dull, Depressing

For the past five years of so, Hollywood has been trying so much to sexualize Chloe Grace Moretz that I think she’s choosing to do movies like Mother/Android to show that she’s not a piece of meat. That Neighbors sequel seem to care more about her in a bikini than anything else and even beforeContinue reading “‘Mother/Android’ Dark, Dull, Depressing”

A Win For UGA Shouldn’t Be A Lost

While I’m glad the UGA Bulldogs won the National Championship in football to add to the World Series win for the Atlanta Braves, Georgia residents need to remain vigilant. A year ago, right before the Jan. 6 insurrection, both Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, won the run-off elections to be the two Senators for theContinue reading “A Win For UGA Shouldn’t Be A Lost”

Bob Saget: TV Dad And Vulgar Comic, The Best Of Both Worlds

Just like anyone who had grown up in the 1980s and 1990s, hearing TV dad Bob Saget had passed away at the age of 65 was a gut-punch. As a widowed father having to raise three daughters with the help of his brother-in-law and friend, Full House was a high-concept gimmicky move that worked. TheContinue reading “Bob Saget: TV Dad And Vulgar Comic, The Best Of Both Worlds”

I’m Rooting For UGA To Win (But I’m Not A Fan)

Alabama is heading for another championship game in football. Does anyone even really care anymore? It’s like when Frasier was on the air. Odds were in its favor it would win the Emmy for Best Comedy Series. But this is the first time in about 41 years that UGA could win the championship. And everyoneContinue reading “I’m Rooting For UGA To Win (But I’m Not A Fan)”

Pope’s Comments Show The Generational Gap Remains Wide

Recently in the last week, Pope Francis went on the defensive after saying people need to start having kids rather than relying on pets as their children. This is another one of the many Christian rights, “Do as we say; not as we do” mantra that is turning more people away from all forms ofContinue reading “Pope’s Comments Show The Generational Gap Remains Wide”

‘Ron’s Gone Wrong’ Is Cute And Charming But Gets Bogged Down In Anti-Technology Theme

Ron’s Gone Wrong starts out with a lot of promise. Imagine a future world where all children had their own B-bots, these little egg-shaped robots with a built in algorithm that could know everything about us just by one simple touch. Their design according to designer Marc Weidell is to help people make friends. OfContinue reading “‘Ron’s Gone Wrong’ Is Cute And Charming But Gets Bogged Down In Anti-Technology Theme”

‘Cobra Kai’ Still Kicks, But…

The fourth season of Cobra Kai dropped on New Year’s Eve on Netflix. The season was far better than the third season (which dropped on New Year Day 2021), which seemed a continuation of season two. But the series is starting to show its cracks. Ralph Macchio, who plays one of the lead protagonists, DanielContinue reading “‘Cobra Kai’ Still Kicks, But…”

Jan. 6, 2021: A Day That Will Live In Infamy

Benjamin Franklin was once asked, ” What do we have a republic or a monarchy?” He replied, “A republic, if you can keep it.” A year ago today, millions if not billions all over the world watched as people stormed the U.S. Capitol Building in an attempt to stop the tabulations of the ballots forContinue reading “Jan. 6, 2021: A Day That Will Live In Infamy”

‘Finch’ Explores The Emotions Of Artificial Intelligence

Leave it to Tom Hanks to turn a post-apocalyptic dystopia movie where the Earth (or America) is a barren wasteland into a cutesy movie about an aging man, a dog and his android. It’s actually a philosophical movie on the idea that artificial intelligence can express emotions (such as love, joy and amusement) if exposedContinue reading “‘Finch’ Explores The Emotions Of Artificial Intelligence”

No New Insights From ‘The Eyes Of Tammy Faye’

More than likely, Jessica Chastain will get an Oscar nomination for her role as the late Tammy Faye Messner (formerly Tammy Faye Bakker). She’s got a Golden Globe nomination and several other wins and nominations in other contests. Her role as the disgraced wife guilty by association to Jim Bakker, a convict and charlatan, isContinue reading “No New Insights From ‘The Eyes Of Tammy Faye’”
