Earlier this month, Netflix released Gunpowder Milkshake. Disney even decided to change Cruella De Vil in a different light. The age of Chuck Norris and ArnoldContinue reading “‘Jolt’ A Shock To The System Of Action Movies”
‘Summer of Soul’ Never Really Comes Alive
I wanted to like this documentary a lot more than I did. I really wanted to tell you why you should watch this immediately right now or as soon as possible, but I found myself becoming irritated the more this documentary goes on.

For What Is A Man Profited
This summer, we have seen avarice at its worst as billionaires have spent millions to basically have small rides into space.

The money Bezos spent to ride what looked like the Statue of Liberty’s vibratorContinue reading “For What Is A Man Profited”
‘Maximum Overdrive’ Still One Wild Ride
Riddle me this, Batman. What do you get when you take one of the most popular writers of the time who is the peak of his drug and alcohol abuse and give him total authority to direct a movie?

‘Revelation’ Doesn’t Have The Power To Bring ‘Masters Of The Universe’ To A New Generation Just Yet
Let me address this first. I am in no way upset over the fact that He-Man/Prince Adam dosen’t appear as the main character in the lastest Netflix series Masters of the Universe: Revelation. I’m not like many of the other dudebros in their 30s-40s upset that a TV cartoon based on a toy chain exploresContinue reading “‘Revelation’ Doesn’t Have The Power To Bring ‘Masters Of The Universe’ To A New Generation Just Yet”

‘Uncle Frank’ A Painful Trip Down Memory Lane
A movie like Uncle Frank will one day hopefully seem like a look at America that is no more. Even though it’s set in 1973, the movie still seems to touch on some harsh issues that haven’t changed over 50 years. A TV movie for Amazon Prime, it’s recently been nominated for an Emmy forContinue reading “‘Uncle Frank’ A Painful Trip Down Memory Lane”
