Moonfall is a movie that cost about $140 million, give or take, to make and it still looks cheap and lacks any excitement or thrills. Maybe we’re just realizing with the big studios to promote his movies as big huge blockbusters you just have to see, Roland Emmerich has never really had no idea onContinue reading “‘Moonfall’ Makes ‘Armageddon’ Look Like ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’”

‘Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul’ Satirizes Megachurch Megastardom
I’ve never attended the black southern megachurches at the center of Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul yet I did grow up around this environment. Since today is Sept. 11, I was assigned to contact a popular black church in Americus, Ga. to see if they were doing anything for the day. The local CatholicContinue reading “‘Honk For Jesus.

‘Thor: Love And Thunder’ Full Of Sound And Fury Signifying…Meh
I like Chris Hemsworth. I didn’t like the first two Thor movies. They just didn’t seem that good. I’ve seen them but can’t remember much. To be honest, Thor was a crapshoot on how it would determine the MCU. While the character works in the Avengers movies, it doesn’t really work as a standalone. However,Continue reading “‘Thor: Love And Thunder’ Full Of Sound And Fury Signifying…Meh”

‘Mazes And Monsters’ Throws Young Tom Hanks Into RPG/Satanic Panic Era
There was once a time in which Tom Hanks was a young starving actor like many others.

Queen Elizabeth’s Death Poses Serious Questions Of Legacy
For a while it seemed Queen Elizabeth II was going to live forever. She had been on the throne for 70 years. It must’ve been a hard role for a young woman in her mid-20s to move into even if she was raised in the Royal Family. While I offer my sympathies and condolensces toContinue reading “Queen Elizabeth’s Death Poses Serious Questions Of Legacy”
‘Me’ Needs A Time-Out
Me Time is the type of movie that is becoming too common of Netflix here lately. I heard a comment online that Netflix is becoming basically a Redbox that doesn’t smell like urine. Granted, they’ve always had a lot of misses, but here lately, it seems they aren’t even aiming for the target. They’re justContinue reading “‘Me’ Needs A Time-Out”
‘Elvis’ Biopic Is All Shook Up
There’s a scene toward the end of Elvis in which the titular character, played by Austin Butler, has had enough of the Las Vegas performing as well as Col. Tom Parker’s constant meddling and obstruction that he fires Parker and walks off stage. Later, Parker (Tom Hanks) pulls out some papers and tells an assistantContinue reading “‘Elvis’ Biopic Is All Shook Up”
‘Uncharted’ Follows Similar Paths In Action-Adventure-Comedies
Uncharted is based on the popular Playstation video game series and it will probably still appeal to people who aren’t fans. Yet for a movie using that title, the plot seems to follow many paths previous (and better) movies like this went down. You can’t help but see elements of Raiders of the Lost Ark,Continue reading “‘Uncharted’ Follows Similar Paths In Action-Adventure-Comedies”
