Rittenhouse Verdict Only Proves It’s Going To Get Much Worse Before It Gets Better

From the moment, that awful Bruce Schroeder, the judge who was presiding over the Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial, made the ruling that those shot couldn’t be referred to as “victims,” the tracks had been laid for the acquittal. Everyone was expecting it. That’s the ultimate shame of our judicial system. We already knew where itContinue reading “Rittenhouse Verdict Only Proves It’s Going To Get Much Worse Before It Gets Better”

Harry In ‘Home Alone’ Was Really A Cop

Home Alone has been one of the most treasured Christmas holiday movies over the past 30 years, but one thing I’ve noticed about the movie in recent years changes things when you think about the movie. When we first meet Joe Pesci’s character Harry, he’s standing in the main foyer of that huge house theContinue reading “Harry In ‘Home Alone’ Was Really A Cop”

‘The Star Wars Holiday Special’ Is Something Else

There’s no way to describe The Star Wars Holiday Special which was broadcast one time only on this date, Nov. 17, 1978 on CBS. It’s not great. But it’s not entirely deserving of its awful criticism. In fact, bootlegs of the special are considered prized collections among nerds everywhere. You can’t really call yourself aContinue reading “‘The Star Wars Holiday Special’ Is Something Else”

What The Hell Happened To Wes Anderson?!

Following the death of film critic Gene Siskel, Roger Ebert would have other film critics, actors and even directors on his show as he tried to find a suitable co-host. Siskel died on Feb. 20, 1999 of a brain tumor. If you ever want to see an eerie look of how bad he was, GoogleContinue reading “What The Hell Happened To Wes Anderson?!”

‘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”
