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”

‘Animalympics’ Gets The Gold For Nostalgia
With the Tokyo Summer Olympics finally happening with tonight’s ceremony, after being postponed a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it’s time to reflect on a special that was made at another time when things didn’t go right for the Olympics. NBC had commissioned two hour-long animated specials to be shown during 1980 back whenContinue reading “‘Animalympics’ Gets The Gold For Nostalgia”
‘Cool Runnings’ Still Hot After Three Decades
During the opening ceremony of the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, the Jamaican team was referenced in regards to Cool Runnings, which was released in the fall season of 1993 showcasing the 1988 team that competed in Calgary. Walt Disney Pictures produced it and there is a lot of Disney elements in theContinue reading “‘Cool Runnings’ Still Hot After Three Decades”
‘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”
‘Fear Street’ Comes To A Dead End
There’s a line in a Simpson’s episode where Homer asks Marge, confused, “Is this a good ending or a bad ending.” And Marge just replies, “It’s an ending.” That’s the same feeling I got after watching Fear Street Part Three: 1666. It’s an ending. I decided to do a little research and found that inContinue reading “‘Fear Street’ Comes To A Dead End”
Changes Coming To America’s Labor Force And It’s Long Overdue
Frito-Lay workers are on strike. Fast food workers are quitting in mass numbers. Restaurants are having to adjust hours because they can’t find help. And many people are flat out refusing to go back to the rat race of an office setting. It was bound to happen sooner or later. America has been a countryContinue reading “Changes Coming To America’s Labor Force And It’s Long Overdue”
‘Gunpowder Milkshake’ A Tasty Treat For A Movielover’s Cheat Day
Gunpowder Milkshake is a wonderful mixture of many action movies we’ve seen before. Take a scoop of John Wick and a scoop Kill Bill, put it in fresh John Woo Hong Kong action flick milk and then after it’s done, you dab a little bit of Tarantino flavoring with John Cassavettes’ Gloria whip cream onContinue reading “‘Gunpowder Milkshake’ A Tasty Treat For A Movielover’s Cheat Day”
‘Aliens’ A Bigger, Better Sequel
In all honesty, you could probably blame all sequels of the modern era on James Cameron who made them so damn good, Hollywood execs saw money signs and decided to greenlight any sequel that had any chance of making more money. Aliens, released this month in 1986, was only his third movie credited as aContinue reading “‘Aliens’ A Bigger, Better Sequel”
‘Space Jam’ Sequel Gets A Technical Foul
I remember on a late-night talk show years ago, Matt Damon was recounting rumors he had heard on the set of Fat Man and Little Boy that the cast and crew thought they were making the big Oscar winner of the year and were debating how many nominations versus wins they would receive. That movieContinue reading “‘Space Jam’ Sequel Gets A Technical Foul”
‘Heist’ True-Crime Docuseries Anthology Has Bangs For Its Bucks
As I’ve committed in other posts, Netflix seemed to be in a funk with the true-crime docuseries before Sophie A Murder in West Cork helped breathe new life to the shows. The latest offering is Heist focusing on three high-profile robberies that you may not have heard of. The six-part series surprisingly has first-person commentaryContinue reading “‘Heist’ True-Crime Docuseries Anthology Has Bangs For Its Bucks”
