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”

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. Wade Will Remain The Carrot Dangled In Front Of Conservative Christians”

‘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. Granted, all three movies didn’t hit the theaters at Christmastime, but neither did While You Were Sleeping.Continue reading “‘Gremlins’ Is A Warning Fable About Giving Animals As Gifts”

‘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. The Hulu series is eight episodes long with each about one hour give or take. But even at eightContinue reading “‘Dopesick’ Functions More As A Placebo Than A Cure-All”

‘The Ice Harvest’ Produces A Dark Christmas In The Homeland

Harold Ramis has been gone for almost eight years but his legacy lives on. For someone who looked like he should be an accountant or a hospital administrator, Ramis wrote, produced, directed and/or acted in some of the best comedies ever. In May of 2010, he contacted autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis and spent the last fourContinue reading “‘The Ice Harvest’ Produces A Dark Christmas In The Homeland”

‘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. This is the worst thing video game related to hit the world since the Atari E.T. game. If Custer’s Revenge in which the goal is toContinue reading “‘8-Bit Christmas’ Is The Worst Thing Since The Atari E.T. Game”
