‘Jungle Cruise’ Flows To Familiar Spots

I forgot where I saw it but someone online referred to Jungle Cruise as Jumanji Cruise and I can’t unsee it. As a matter of fact, I was thinking the same thing earlier this year when I saw the commercials for the Disney adventure movie. And why not? It’s apparent that Dwayne “The Rock” JohnsonContinue reading “‘Jungle Cruise’ Flows To Familiar Spots”

‘Minari’ Roots Itself In Familiar Ground

I first heard about the Oscar-winning Minari when I saw the listing for extras when it was filmed in the Tulsa area during the summer of 2019. I even applied to a few listings but wasn’t called back. The movie stars Steven Yeun of The Walking Dead fame in a far different role as JacobContinue reading “‘Minari’ Roots Itself In Familiar Ground”

Honoring Veterans Should Take More Effort Than Social Media Posts

Today is Veterans Day, honoring all past and present military veterans. For the first time this Veterans Day in about 20 years, we are not involved in a war. It might not seem important despite what happened in Afghanistan but it should be a painful reminder to what people did and continue to do. I’mContinue reading “Honoring Veterans Should Take More Effort Than Social Media Posts”

‘Blow-up’ A Movie About What You Think You See

Blow-up, directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, was one of the movies that was released in the mid to late 1960s that proved that filmmakers couldn’t be limited to the restrictions of the very conservative and very critical MPAA Production Code, aka the Hays Code. A movie like this would’ve never been able to have been madeContinue reading “‘Blow-up’ A Movie About What You Think You See”

The Kyle Rittenhouse Murder Case Won’t End Well Regardless Of The Verdict

The Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial is a case that has been a long time coming in the American judicial system. What constitutes self-defense, vigilantism or flat out murder? We’ve often had a grey area in discussing the matter and it’s only gotten worse in the last 20 years. When I was working in Americus, Ga.,Continue reading “The Kyle Rittenhouse Murder Case Won’t End Well Regardless Of The Verdict”

We Need To Talk About Men’s Mental Health

I can’t keep up with all the different days, weeks and months devoted to special causes, but I do say that November which is Men’s Mental Health Month should be heavily observed, because we need to discuss the issues with men who suffer from mental health issues. Because of the history of establishing a patriarchy,Continue reading “We Need To Talk About Men’s Mental Health”

‘Dune’ Has Great Visuals And Casting But The Grains From The Earlier Version Still Linger

I’m the best and worst person to be interviewing the latest version of Dune, directed by Denis Villeneuve. I was never a big fan of Dune, either the book or the 1984 version that was directed by David Lynch. It took me years to sit through it. You see, back in 1984, when it hitContinue reading “‘Dune’ Has Great Visuals And Casting But The Grains From The Earlier Version Still Linger”

Why It’s Time To Stop Daylights Saving

If you’re one of many people other there who lives in a state or area that still observes Daylight Savings Time, it comes to an end at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 7. And I would hopefully wish our government, now that the infrastructure bill is taken care of, do something about it. November isContinue reading “Why It’s Time To Stop Daylights Saving”

Why ‘Back To The Future’ Is A Great Trilogy

Today is Nov. 5. If you’re a fan of Back to the Future, you know today is the day that Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) accidentally went back in time to this date in 1955 in the fictional town of Hill Valley, Calif. Marty’s friend, Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd) punched the date in hisContinue reading “Why ‘Back To The Future’ Is A Great Trilogy”
