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”

‘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”
