Reach Out And Text Someone In 2022

Every now and again, when I’m out in public, I’ll see someone talking on the phone. And they don’t look happy. I don’t blame them. I don’t like getting phone calls myself. I liked the olden days when you could run to Wal-Mart or Walgreens without being bothered by someone. I still like talking onContinue reading “Reach Out And Text Someone In 2022”

‘The Exorcist’ Scares Up The Christmas Holiday Season

Imagine if a young Jamie Lee Curtis had played Regan MacNeil in The Exorcist? That was William Friedkin’s intention one day almost 50 years ago when he made a phone call to Curtis’ mother Janet Leigh. As the Halloween actress would later recall, the call was very short as after hearing for a bit, LeighContinue reading “‘The Exorcist’ Scares Up The Christmas Holiday Season”

JonBenet Ramsey’s Murder Is A Riddle Wrapped In A Mystery Inside An Enigma

It’s been 25 years this past Christmas that JonBenet Ramsey, only 6, was brutally murdered by someone. We may never know who. Unless someone confesses with concrete evidence only law enforcement knows, we won’t believe them. It wasn’t the parents, that I know of, even though I first thought they did it. I had beenContinue reading “JonBenet Ramsey’s Murder Is A Riddle Wrapped In A Mystery Inside An Enigma”

‘Hawkeye’ Is Irrelevant MCU Filler

Being that it’s still the Christmas season, there is a part of the Bible that is hardly adapted to the screen. After Jesus’ body is resurrected on the Sunday we know celebrate as Easter, traditionally, most movies and TV shows have finished with the resurrection. Why? Because it’s a good way to end a story.Continue reading “‘Hawkeye’ Is Irrelevant MCU Filler”

Don’t Take Down The Holiday Decorations Just Yet

I love the Christmas season. I love seeing the lights decorated all over neighborhoods and towns, especially when the smaller towns seem to go more out than the bigger communities. It may not have been a typical Christmas for many people as not only has Covid still hindered some plans but the weather was moreContinue reading “Don’t Take Down The Holiday Decorations Just Yet”

The Flawlessness Of ‘A Christmas Story’ The Reason For Its Legacy

I love Christmas movies but many of them have the unrealistic qualities in them. Granted, you’re supposed to watch a movie with a suspension of disbelief but it’s hard sometimes to see movies like Jingle All the Way, Elf of even National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation without their exaggerations. Maybe that’s why A Christmas Story remainsContinue reading “The Flawlessness Of ‘A Christmas Story’ The Reason For Its Legacy”

‘Die Hard’ Mixes Christian Symbolism With High-Octane Action

One of the biggest debates over the last 30 years is whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie. It wasn’t released during the Christmas holiday season but the summer months. It’s set on Christmas Eve in the Los Angeles area as a NYPD officer is visiting his estranged wife and family for theContinue reading “‘Die Hard’ Mixes Christian Symbolism With High-Octane Action”

Chevy Chase’s Christmas Movies Expose The Imperfection Of Perfection

One of my favorite Chevy Chase Christmas movies isn’t National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation even though I like it and watch it several times around Christmas and even in the middle of summer. No, I’m talking about Funny Farm, which was released in 1988, more than a year before NLCV. While most of the movie isContinue reading “Chevy Chase’s Christmas Movies Expose The Imperfection Of Perfection”

Tipping Has Long Passed Its Tipping Point

During the summer of 1996 between my junior and senior year in high school, I worked at the K-Mart in my home town, mostly in the garden center. I spent so many days putting potting soil, compose manure, bricks, garden rocks, flowers, plants, lumber, etc. into people’s cars, I’ve theorized it was the beginning ofContinue reading “Tipping Has Long Passed Its Tipping Point”
