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”

Republicans Shouldn’t Count Their Chickens Before They Hatch

It was the 2015 college football season when my alma matter, Georgia Southern University, had tied against the University of Georgia at the end of regulation when they went into overtime at 17-17. If you know another about Georgia football back then, Mark Richt, head football coach at UGA was seriously despised by almost allContinue reading “Republicans Shouldn’t Count Their Chickens Before They Hatch”

Saying No To The ‘Diamond Orgy’

One of my pet peeves as a journalist, especially with flu season coming up, are photojournalists showing pics of screaming toddlers and crying primary school age kids getting flu shots. One of my other pet peeves with stereotypical photos are whenever a softball or baseball game wins big, there’s always the dogpile of team playersContinue reading “Saying No To The ‘Diamond Orgy’”

‘To Die For’ Toxic Femininity Or Female Empowerment?

One of the biggest Oscar snubs ever was Nicole Kidman for To Die For in 1995. Her performance as Suzanne Stone-Maretto may just the first time she was recognized as an actress and not the wife of a movie star. And now, she’s more recognized as a movie star than who she is married to.Continue reading “‘To Die For’ Toxic Femininity Or Female Empowerment?”

No Electric Boogaloo For ‘Grizzly II’

The history behind the production of Grizzly II: Revenge is far greater than anything in the movie which stars three Oscar Winners and several other big name actors. Originally considered a sequel to Grizzly, one of the many man vs. nature thrillers that came out after the success of Jaws, the movie began production underContinue reading “No Electric Boogaloo For ‘Grizzly II’”

‘Halloween’ Still Frightening Decades Later

There’s a lot of scary moments in the 1978 horror classic Halloween, but to me the most scary doesn’t involve Michael Myers. In the third act, Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) has discovered the murdered bodies of her friends in the house across the street from the one where she’s babysitting. She’s also been attackedContinue reading “‘Halloween’ Still Frightening Decades Later”

‘The Crow’ Showed Brandon Lee Would’ve Been A Big Star

“If” is the middle word in “life” and you can always left to wonder what would’ve happened only if. I’ve gotten to the point of realizing there’s no reason to wonder what would’ve happened if something had gone one way other than it did. Sometimes if the door swings the other way, it can beContinue reading “‘The Crow’ Showed Brandon Lee Would’ve Been A Big Star”
