Last week on July 13, a mural to George Floyd in Toledo, Ohio, was destroyed by a lightning strike. It didn’t take long for Christian leaders, you know the type, to come out and criticize Floyd’s memory and say it was an act of God. Donald Trump Jr. said it. Tulsa area pastor Jackson Lahmeyer,Continue reading ““Christian” Leaders Continue To Prove Their Religion Is Hatred And Hypocrisy”

‘Godfather Coda’ A Change That Can’t Be Refused
I had never seen either of the first two Godfather movies when I heard rumors in 1989 that Sylvester Stallone was going to star in the third Godfather movie. Don’t laugh but the late film critic Roger Ebert once said that Stallone reminded him of a younger Marlon Brando. After Rocky came out, it seemedContinue reading “‘Godfather Coda’ A Change That Can’t Be Refused”
‘Loki’ First Season A Letdown
If you’ve ever been to Disneyland of DisneyWorld, the first season of Loki shouldn’t have come as a surprise. It looks colorful and catches your eyes. There’s a lot of excitement. You’re ready to get started and see where everything goes. And then, you have to wait. You have to wait a lot. But theContinue reading “‘Loki’ First Season A Letdown”
Netflix Has New Life In ‘Murder In West Cork’ Docuseries
Netflix had a surprise hit many years ago with the true-crime docuseries Making a Murderer, which was about the strange case of Steven Avery, who was released in 2005 after being wrongfully convicted of a sexual assault and attempted murder only to find himself suspected, charged and convicted of an murder of a photographer butContinue reading “Netflix Has New Life In ‘Murder In West Cork’ Docuseries”
‘Con Air’ Is A Horrible Yet Delightful Movie
Today is July 14. For many, it’s Bastille Day, when the poor and downtrodden of France rallied against the monarchy and stormed the bastille. It’s also the same day many of the events on which Con Air is set. I don’t know if Scott Rosenberg did this intentionally when he wrote the script. But I’dContinue reading “‘Con Air’ Is A Horrible Yet Delightful Movie”
‘A Quiet Place II’ Makes Some Noise
A Quiet Place II is being praised as the first movie of 2021 to make over $100 million at the U.S. box office. And I can see why, it’s not that bad. I would have thought someone could’ve shown video of their 2015 vacation to the Poconos and probably had theaters filling up as peopleContinue reading “‘A Quiet Place II’ Makes Some Noise”
Despite A Few Misfires ‘Guns Akimbo’ Hits Enough Targets
I have no idea how much Daniel Radcliffe made off the Harry Potter movies, but he’s ascended from an obscure boy getting one of the most coveted roles ever to an adult willing to take on the roles so far from the mainstream, he’s developing his own fan base in that league. A few yearsContinue reading “Despite A Few Misfires ‘Guns Akimbo’ Hits Enough Targets”
Nothing To ‘Fear’ In This Installment
Back in 1978 and 1994 and early as a decade ago, before TV networks realized they could have big hits with summer shows, many networks would take their less-desirable shows and stick them in slots normally reserved for more popular shows. It’s called “burning off” and it still is popular even though not as usedContinue reading “Nothing To ‘Fear’ In This Installment”
‘In The Heights’ Falls Flat In Many Ways
I wanted to like In The Heights. I like musicals. I come from a family with a very musical background. So, I’m not some knuckle-dragging troglodyte or cretin by saying this, but this movie is absolutely horrible and boring. Lin-Manuel Miranda, I think, has been believing his own hype following Hamilton, which I still haven’tContinue reading “‘In The Heights’ Falls Flat In Many Ways”
That’s A Wrap! Fade Out For Two Very Influential Filmmakers
In the past week, two influential filmmakers have died. While many people may not think of Richard Donner or Robert Downey Sr. in the same vein as Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg, Cecil B. DeMille, Martin Scorsese, Akira Kurosawa, Stanley Kubrick, or Francios Touffait, they both helped change American cinema for the past 50 years. RichardContinue reading “That’s A Wrap!
