I recently heard someone on TikTok say that one of the problems with organized Christianity is that unconditional love with conditions is not love. Now, I know a lot of people will criticize that but I think social media has exposed more fake Christians than we’d like to see. I don’t doubt that people haveContinue reading “Unconditional Love With Conditions Is Really Control And Abuse”

‘Real Genius’ A Real Different College Comedy
Real Genius opened on this date, Aug. 7, in 1985. The year is important as it was Ronald Reagan’s second term as President and the HIV/AIDS crisis was now a nationwide pandemic affecting everyone. I mention that because previous college comedies were National Lampoon’s Animal House and endless copies of young men on their ownContinue reading “‘Real Genius’ A Real Different College Comedy”
‘Music’ Hits Every Wrong Note
A movie like Music irritates me. It irritates me in so many ways that during the first few seconds, I was already aggravated by it. Much has been said about this movie, the directorial debut of Sia, who has taken the Pepsi Challenge with Uwe Boll and Kevin Smith on who can whine and berateContinue reading “‘Music’ Hits Every Wrong Note”
‘Big Trouble In Little China’ Has An Even Bigger Legacy
John Carpenter is one of the rarest filmmakers still living. He continues to operate on the fringes of Hollywood for almost 50 years.

‘Suicide Squad’ Destroys The Criticism of the DCEU
Five years ago, the DCEU was in serious trouble.

But it’s apparent all along that theContinue reading “‘Suicide Squad’ Destroys The Criticism of the DCEU”

Cocaine is still a serious drug problem in America, but it seems that crystal meth has taken over in the 21st Century along with the opioid overdoses as well as use of ecstasy or molly.

Domestic Abuse Isn’t For Entertainment
This is something that has gnawed at me for years. As someone who loves movies but has also been a crime reporter, it seems that Hollywood feels there is a double standard when it comes to domestic abuse. Back in June, reports came out that Chris Brown was again accused of domestic abuse and violenceContinue reading “Domestic Abuse Isn’t For Entertainment”

It’s been a year and a half before I get rid of satellite TV, realizing I was paying more for channels I wasn’t watching when they’re are streaming services available that are cheaper.

‘Body Double’ Deserves A Second Look As A Genius Movie
In the movie, The Karate Kid, Daniel Larusso (Ralph Macchio) says the line, “Hey, it’s the 80s!” That is what you can say about movies like Body Double, which came out in 1984. Brian DePalma was riding high after the success of Scarface and was offered a three-picture deal by Columbia Pictures. The studio wasContinue reading “‘Body Double’ Deserves A Second Look As A Genius Movie”
True Christians Would Care About The Health Of Others
There’s a body cam footage of a Karen making a big deal about her refusal to wear a mask at a store that mandates it to the point that the police are called. She goes off saying, “I did not sign up for this” and this says, “I am a Christian woman…” I used toContinue reading “True Christians Would Care About The Health Of Others”
