Shut Up And Don’t Sing

If there’s one thing more annoying than some douchebag who whips out an accoustic guitar and starts playing it in public, it’s a Christian douchebag who does it while singing Christian worship songs. A video posted by Jack Jensz Jr., a Philadelphia area pastor, shows people singing Christian worships songs on a plane. Now, it’sContinue reading “Shut Up And Don’t Sing”

Reviving ‘King Of The Hill’ Ain’t Right

While that Hank Hill jpeg remix is becoming popular on social media, news has come out earlier this year that Mike Judge and Greg Daniels, who created the series King of the Hill, are considering reviving it. This could be very good or it could be very awful. Some TV shows only live within theContinue reading “Reviving ‘King Of The Hill’ Ain’t Right”

‘Last Temptation’ Is More Spiritual Realistic Portrayal Of Life Of Christ

There’s a Hollywood legend that for his portrayal of Jesus Christ in the Biblical classic King of Kings, actor Jeffrey Hunter had to have all his body hair shaved off after people became upset upon seeing him crucified with armpit hair. The 1961 movie was the first movie to portray Jesus’ face. If you lookContinue reading “‘Last Temptation’ Is More Spiritual Realistic Portrayal Of Life Of Christ”

‘The Thing About Pam’ Is Shameless Sensationalism And Exploitation

If there is one good thing to say about The Thing About Pam is thank Allah they didn’t stretch this out to about 10 hours the way Netflix did with Inventing Anna. Thankfully, this true-crime limited series keeps everything short, mainly because there’s not much there. NBC is known for stretching it Dateline episodes outContinue reading “‘The Thing About Pam’ Is Shameless Sensationalism And Exploitation”

‘The Passion’ Is A Prime Example Of Modern Day Christianity

About 20 years ago, I was reading how Mel Gibson was working on a movie called at the time The Passion. This was after I had seen him in Signs, a part in which he played a grieving farmer and former pastor going through spiritual doubt after his wife was killed in a traffic accident.Continue reading “‘The Passion’ Is A Prime Example Of Modern Day Christianity”

They’ll Never Be Another Actor/Comic Like ‘Gilbert’

The first time I think I saw Gilbert Gottfried was in a movie released in 1985 called Bad Medicine. He was in a small supporting role as a Tony Sandoval, the weasally assitant to Dr. Ramon Madera (Alan Arkin) in the medical comedy, which also starred Steve Gutenberg, Julie Hagerty and Curtis Armstrong. The movieContinue reading “They’ll Never Be Another Actor/Comic Like ‘Gilbert’”

Hate Crime Against Teen Could’ve Been Worse…A Lot Worse

What was supposed to be a nice brunch between a father and his son the day after Christmas in New York City turned into a nightmare for Keyon Harrold, a famous jazz trumpeter and his then 14-year-old son. On Dec. 26, 2020, Harrold and his son, Keyon Harrold Jr., were staying at the Arlo SoHoContinue reading “Hate Crime Against Teen Could’ve Been Worse…A Lot Worse”

‘Turning Red’ Should Usher In A New Wave Of Animated Features

Turning Red is a cute, charming, and entertaining animated feature. I’m just puzzled why Disney would regulate the movie, made by frequent collaborator Pixar Animation Studios, just to its online streaming service Disney-Plus. Maybe they were afraid how the movie would play both in American and overseas theaters. Set in Toronto in 2002, the plotContinue reading “‘Turning Red’ Should Usher In A New Wave Of Animated Features”

‘Caddyshack’ Is Still Alright

While the Masters have come and gone in Augusta, Ga. as of this posting with the winner being Scott Scheffler, it’s hard to watch Caddyshack and even think about the Masters the same way again. The winner in my mind will also be Carl Spackler (Bill Murray), the grizzled but not too bright assistant greenskeeperContinue reading “‘Caddyshack’ Is Still Alright”
