Gabby Petito Case Should Be A Game Changer Across The Board

Let me start out by saying, I express my sympathies and condolences with the family and friends of Gabby Petito whose remains were found earlier this week in Wyoming as authorities are labeling her death a homicide. I covered about three dozen homicide cases in my years as a journalist. I just learned that becauseContinue reading “Gabby Petito Case Should Be A Game Changer Across The Board”

‘What Lies Beneath’ Is A Great Ode To Hitchcock

In college, I worked as a night supervisor for the Student Housing Department. My job was mostly to walk around a dorm or residence hall between 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. to make sure no doors were propped open and people were keeping themselves at a relatively low volume. You wouldn’t believe what can happenContinue reading “‘What Lies Beneath’ Is A Great Ode To Hitchcock”

Religious Themed Movies Play Up Negative Stereotypes

At 43 years old, I’ve never lived anywhere but the “Bible Belt” even though I’m left wondering why that belt is getting so much bigger. And over the last 25-30 years, more religious based movies have become more popular for all the wrong reasons. About 20 years ago, you could got to any house inContinue reading “Religious Themed Movies Play Up Negative Stereotypes”

Reflections On Recall As Republicans Are Reeling

Well, California voters proved Yogi Beara wrong. It wasn’t deja vu all over again. For the second time in 20 years, a Democrat governor has faced a recall election. Except this time, Gavin Newsom was more victorious that Gray Davis, who for some reason was recalled within the first year of his second term, afterContinue reading “Reflections On Recall As Republicans Are Reeling”

‘Kate’ Kicks Ass In Typical Fashion

Kate is an unique title for a movie like this, especially when you consider it doesn’t have the kick-ass high-powered action implication as Jolt or Gunpowder Milkshake. It seems 2021 may actually be the Year of the Woman, that moniker everyone pulls out every few years when pop culture seems to be more geared towardContinue reading “‘Kate’ Kicks Ass In Typical Fashion”

‘Malignant’ Diagnosis: You’ll Love It Or Hate It

Malignant is one of those horror movies that if you go into it expecting one thing, you’re going to be disappointed. At 44, James Wan has done so much for the horror franchise that every now and again, he should be forgiven for cutting loose a little. I wasn’t a big fan of the SawContinue reading “‘Malignant’ Diagnosis: You’ll Love It Or Hate It”

Never Forget Has Become Just A Soundbite

Twenty years ago, the World Trade Center towers in New York City collapsed after two hijacked commercial jets crashed into it. Another hijacked jet crashed into The Pentagon and then a plane crashed in Shanksville, Penn., after the passengers on board reportedly attempted to take over the hijackers. About 3,000 people lost their lives thatContinue reading “Never Forget Has Become Just A Soundbite”

9/11 Docudrama Not Really ‘Worth’ The Time

I’ll say this loud and clear for those in the back – subject matter does not always mean it’s a good movie. Movies by Tyler Perry and the Kendrick Brothers carry strong Christian-based themes but they come off as poorly made movies only intended to suck in gullible viewers. I got nothing against movies withContinue reading “9/11 Docudrama Not Really ‘Worth’ The Time”
