They Only “Back The Blue” When The Blue Targets You-Know-Who

No Atonement Imaginable For ‘Cosmic Sin’
Bruce Willis used to be in big demand, but then his ego took over and he began to make so many bad movies that seeing his name was a sure sign of a flop. It might be hard for some people to remember this because it was about 30 years ago. After Die Hard wasContinue reading “No Atonement Imaginable For ‘Cosmic Sin’”
Nothing Still Compares To ‘RoboCop’
Recently, a college friend of mine and his young son, who is primary school age, had a discussion about whether to watch RoboCop, the one and original.

‘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. Summer of Soul (…Or, When The Revolution Could Not Be Televised) isContinue reading “‘Summer of Soul’ Never Really Comes Alive”
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. To say Jeff Bezos is one of the most hated men in America, if not the world, is an understatement. The money Bezos spent to ride what looked like the Statue of Liberty’s vibratorContinue reading “For What Is A Man Profited”
