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”

“Christian” Leaders Continue To Prove Their Religion Is Hatred And Hypocrisy
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.

‘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”

‘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”

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.
