‘The War Of The Roses’ Breaks The American Beauty Of Thorny Marriages

I had intended to do a different movie for this post but decided with recent events to focus on something else. Just a reminder, this post may contain spoilers. The War of the Roses is one of the best satirical black comedies ever. What makes it work is the era in which it was released.Continue reading “‘The War Of The Roses’ Breaks The American Beauty Of Thorny Marriages”

Peace And Love To The People Of Minneapolis And Minnesota

It’s almost becoming a daily if not weekly routine in America where someone goes into a school or school event and opens fire killing and injuring people. This time it happened at a parochial school, Annunciation Catholic School, in the Minneapolis area where two children, ages 8 and 10, were killed. There are 17 peopleContinue reading “Peace And Love To The People Of Minneapolis And Minnesota”

Ah, Shucks For ‘Clown In A Cornfield’

I have to hand it to Eli Roth. I’ve not liked a lot of his movies and think he’s way too full of himself a lot of times just like his one of his collaborators, Quentin Tarantino. But his 2023 movie Thanksgiving was a great ode to the 1980s slasher craze with some social commentaryContinue reading “Ah, Shucks For ‘Clown In A Cornfield’”

We Can Do Better Than This

I was briefly watching a Q&A between Charlie Kirk and a young woman who says she is a Democrat and a Christian. She quoted the Bible about Jesus feeding the needy in the Book of Matthew. Of course, Kirk had a way to spin it to make it sound like starving children and lower-income peopleContinue reading “We Can Do Better Than This”

‘Kraven The Hunter’ Gets Poached

I’ve often wondered if people who work in some professions really like or hate their jobs to the point they’re embarrassed to tell anyone what they do. One of my friends was going to interview for a position at Adult Video News but decided at the last minute not to go because he wouldn’t knowContinue reading “‘Kraven The Hunter’ Gets Poached”

We Got Spirit, Yes We Do! We Got Spirit But It’s Just Not For You?

The whole thing with the Minnesota Vikings including two men as cheerleaders makes how some people get through their daily lives without having strokes and heart attacks all the time. Presidents George W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Franklin D. Roosevelt were all cheerleaders in their youth. And I’ve seen some of theContinue reading “We Got Spirit, Yes We Do! We Got Spirit But It’s Just Not For You?”

‘Stay Tuned’ Gets Mixed Reception

Stay Tuned is one of those movies that tries too hard to a movie for everyone that it never really pushes the boundaries of what it could’ve been capable of. This, I’m sure, is because the production company, Morgan Creek, was in need of a huge hit. That would come later in 1992 with theirContinue reading “‘Stay Tuned’ Gets Mixed Reception”

Rejoice! James Dobson Had Died!

They say you should never speak ill of the dead, but then again a sorry sack of shit like James C. Dobson has died. I’m sure the C stood for Cunt, Cocksucker, Crabby-Ass and Crusty-Ass. Ok, it was Clayton, but who cares because he’s dead now. Yes, he’s dead! The man who said parents shouldContinue reading “Rejoice! James Dobson Had Died!”
