2022 Forecast: Roe v. Wade Will Remain The Carrot Dangled In Front Of Conservative Christians

I’m not a gambling man, but if I had some money to put on whether the current conservative-leaning Supreme Court of the United States is going to overturn Roe v. Wade, I would put on not likely. It’ll be a close vote, 5-4, but it will remain in law. Mainly the landmark case won’t beContinue reading “2022 Forecast: Roe v.

‘King Richard’ Is Will Smith’s Oscar Bait

Can we just give Will Smith a fucking Oscar? They give out honorary Oscars all the time. I think the entire movie industry needs to give him an Oscar, so he’ll stop making fucking movies like King Richard. At one time, Smith was an impressive actor considering he had taken the role on The FreshContinue reading “‘King Richard’ Is Will Smith’s Oscar Bait”

‘Gremlins’ Is A Warning Fable About Giving Animals As Gifts

A movie like Gremlins falls into the same clique of movies like Lethal Weapon and Die Hard. It’s set at Christmastime. It has a Christmas theme, but people will argue with you that it’s not a Christmas movie.

‘Dopesick’ Functions More As A Placebo Than A Cure-All

Dopesick may have gotten a lot of rave reviews and even named by Entertainment Weekly as the part of the best of television in 2021, but unfortunately, I feel people are misinterpreting subject matter with excellence.

‘8-Bit Christmas’ Is The Worst Thing Since The Atari E.T. Game

A movie like 8-Bit Christmas wants to be the Gen X version of A Christmas Story. But even the Millennial Christmas movie Jingle All the Way was more enjoyable.

David Lynch’s ‘Dune’ Remains Something To Be Seen

I’m not going to mince words. David Lynch’s 1984 production of Dune, which was released on this date in 1984, is totally fucked up. I mean, that’s exactly what producer Dino De Laurentiis must have expected when he had was able to hire Lynch away from Lucasfilm, who was trying to get him to directContinue reading “David Lynch’s ‘Dune’ Remains Something To Be Seen”

‘1941’ Was Spielberg’s First Casualty
