‘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”

‘The Cabin In The Woods’ Great Concept, So-So Execution

Let be preface this by saying that this all contains spoilers, so if you haven’t seen it, I’m going to break it all down. A movie like The Cabin in the Woods tries to do what Scream does by exposing the tropes in horror movies. It’s hard for some people who grew up with horrorContinue reading “‘The Cabin In The Woods’ Great Concept, So-So Execution”

‘Jack’s Back’ A Surprise Hitchcockian Mystery

A movie like Jack’s Back seems like your typical 1988 slasher. The plot revolves around a serial killer in the Los Angeles area who is copycatting the infamous Jack the Ripper killings that happened in 1888. The crimes are very similar to the ones in London, even happening on the exact dates 100 years apart.Continue reading “‘Jack’s Back’ A Surprise Hitchcockian Mystery”

“Being The Better Person” Is Gaslighting

Earlier today, I had to go to the local AT&T store top get a new phone. This was an unscheduled and unexpected visit but I was almost anticipating it. I had been out running some errands earlier this morning when I guess the pill bottle in my shorts pocket pressed too hard on the screenContinue reading ““Being The Better Person” Is Gaslighting”

We Should Make Birth Control Easier And Less Of A Humiliation

In a previous post, I talked about buying condoms. A box of Trojans I think cost about $10 for a box of 10. That’s about $1 for every time I want to have sex, I can prevent a woman from getting pregnant. I’m not saying I’m going to have sex with 10 women or haveContinue reading “We Should Make Birth Control Easier And Less Of A Humiliation”

‘Dug Days’ Funny, Cute Spinoff And Nice Swan Song For Ed Asner

Dug Days on Disney-Plus is a five-episode spinoff series of the movie Up that is a nice follow-up and a fitting unintentional tribune to the life of Ed Asner. There’s something about that scruffy little golden retriever Dug who was equipped with a voice collar and had an “Aw Shucks!” mentality that made him standContinue reading “‘Dug Days’ Funny, Cute Spinoff And Nice Swan Song For Ed Asner”

Abortion Bills Are About Overthrowing Roe V. Wade

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott seems to be in a pissing contest with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on who can be the biggest asshole during a time when people want real leaders. Recently, the six-weeks abortion ban bill went into law in Texas. To say that people like Abbott and the Texas legislators who proposed andContinue reading “Abortion Bills Are About Overthrowing Roe V. Wade”
