The Depp v. Heard case will probably divide people for decades to come and I anticipate law professors will be spending the summer reading up on it as they will be discussing it in the Fall. It raises a lot of question on where we draw the line on journalistic integrity and what we canContinue reading “No Real Winner In Depp/Heard Case”

In the past eight days as the events of the massacre at Uvalde Robb Elementary School become more clearer, a lot of people are still wrecking their brains over why the Uvalde Police Department and the Uvalde School DistrictContinue reading “Romanticizing The Police Has Led To Expectations They Can’t (And Don’t Want To) Uphold”
If You’re Taking A Road Trip This Summer, Don’t Get ‘Lost In America’
Lost in America is a wonderful time capsule of a period in American history where people who had it the best but thought they needed more. Directed and co-written by Albert Brooks who also plays the protagonist David Howard, it’s a look at Baby Boomer yuppies who aren’t happy but for separate reasons. David andContinue reading “If You’re Taking A Road Trip This Summer, Don’t Get ‘Lost In America’”
‘Obi-Wan’ Has The High Ground
With all due respect to Sir Alec Guinness, but I prefer Ewan McGregor’s performance more as Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi. Guinness in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope played Kenobi as an old, wise man who was smart enough to know when to fight and when to do “other alternatives. “But in The EmpireContinue reading “‘Obi-Wan’ Has The High Ground”
It’s Insane Why We Don’t Take Mental Health More Seriously
I know that it’s gotten to a point where every month, every week, every day it seems is Something Something Day, Week or Month. But since it is Memorial Day today and May is Mental Health Awareness Month, both of them seem to go hand and hand. Ask yourself. How many people buried at ArlingtonContinue reading “It’s Insane Why We Don’t Take Mental Health More Seriously”
‘Angelyne’ Is A Muddled Mess About Celebrity Sensationalism
Peacock’s Angelyne limited series spends about four hours telling you what you can easily find out in four minutes of a Wikipedia search. Hollywood is a very incestuous industry and I’m sure after hearing Netflix was doing a limited series about Anna Delvey; Hulu was doing a limited series about Elizabeth Holmes and Candy Montgomery,Continue reading “‘Angelyne’ Is A Muddled Mess About Celebrity Sensationalism”
‘Keepers Of The Ashes’ Spotlights A Dark Time In The Heartland
Keepers of the Ashes: The Oklahoma Girl Scout Murders, couldn’t have been released at a worse time. The four-part docuseries dropped on Hulu on Tuesday, May 24, the same day 19 kids were killed at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Not a lot of people probably wanted to sit through four hours of aContinue reading “‘Keepers Of The Ashes’ Spotlights A Dark Time In The Heartland”
The Tragic Life Of Phil Hartman
If there ever was a celebrity that you would think would be the victim of a murder-suicide, Phil Hartman would be on the very bottom of the list next to Fred Rogers and Bob Ross. But on May 28, 1998, news reports came in that Hartman, 49, had been fatally shot by his wife, Brynn,Continue reading “The Tragic Life Of Phil Hartman”
‘Sonic The Hedgehog 2’ More Than Just Electric Boogaloo
Three years ago, when the trailer dropped for the first Sonic the Hedgehog, the Internet and fans weren’t too happy. Originally scheduled to be released in November of 2019, the original design for movie Sonic was so bad, people almost universally revolted. The image of Sonic with human eyes and those creepy teeth were mostlyContinue reading “‘Sonic The Hedgehog 2’ More Than Just Electric Boogaloo”
‘Prom Night’ Turns Into Disco Bloodbath
The premise behind the original Prom Night released in the summer of 1980 is a simple one: What if someone took the original Halloween and gave it a Saturday Night Fever vibe?And just for good measure, they got Jamie Lee Curtis and a nice disco soundtrack. It also helped that Curtis knew how to danceContinue reading “‘Prom Night’ Turns Into Disco Bloodbath”
