Mention Bill Paxton and most people will think of his role in Aliens in which he was the outrageous Marine Private Hudson. His roles throughout the 1980s had him playing goofy or obnoxious characters in Weird Science and Predator 2. And that’s the way he was heading going into the 1990s until he was castContinue reading “‘One False Move’ Was Bill Paxton’s Best Moment”

‘The Green Knight’ Is A Royal Mess
The Green Knight is an awful movie. I’m not going to be easy. It’s distributed by A24, which should tell you before the credits roll what you’re in for. And I must admit, for a while, it did seem like it was going to be a nice Game of Thrones meets Excalibur type of movieContinue reading “‘The Green Knight’ Is A Royal Mess”
‘Marry Me’ Is A Nice RomCom Gem
Going into Marry Me, a nice throwback to the romcoms that Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson would’ve appeared in 15-20 years ago, you know what to expect. But sometimes, the element of surprise or freshness is not as good as the way it’s delivered. You don’t go to see a Shakespeare play to see HamletContinue reading “‘Marry Me’ Is A Nice RomCom Gem”
I Watched 10 Hours of ‘Inventing Anna’ So You Don’t Have To
Inventing Anna might have been a good little limited series if it wasn’t so outrageously bloated for about 10 hours of repetition and redundancy. As a matter of fact, I’m not really sure who is the central character of this based on a true story Netflix series. We’re led to believe it’s Anna Sorokin (JuliaContinue reading “I Watched 10 Hours of ‘Inventing Anna’ So You Don’t Have To”
‘Peacemaker’ One Big Middle Finger To MCU
Without a doubt, Peacemaker, which just concluded its first season on HBO, was a shot in the dark concept. James Gunn, who had been tapped by Warner Brothers to direct The Suicide Squad said that he wrote the Peacemaker series while stuck in lockdown from Covid-19 pandemic just to get his mind off things. WarnerContinue reading “‘Peacemaker’ One Big Middle Finger To MCU”
‘Tinder Swindler’ Exposes Predators On The Prowl
People tuning in to the Netflix true-crime documentary The Tinder Swindler will probably think how someone will be so easily duped. Easy. In the animal kingdom, predators don’t go after the toughest one of the pack. You don’t pick fights you know you’re going to lose. Simon Leviev, the center of the documentary and theContinue reading “‘Tinder Swindler’ Exposes Predators On The Prowl”
‘Texas Chainsaw’ Massacres Franchise’s Exploited Legacy
I’m going to cut to the chase, forgive the pun, but the latest Texas Chainsaw Massacre entry, intended as a direct sequel to the 1974 original is a total piece of dog shit. As a matter of fact, comparing this movie to dog shit is an insult. I will say this, for a movie that’sContinue reading “‘Texas Chainsaw’ Massacres Franchise’s Exploited Legacy”
‘Kimi’ A Hitchcockian Thriller For The Digital Media Age
Steven Soderbergh’s Kimi is a movie that spends half of its run time in the apartment of its protagonist Angela Childs (Zoe Kravitz). One might easily draw parallels with Alfred Hitchcock’s famous Rear Window, in which Jimmy Stewart was an injured photographer stuck in his own apartment. I’m sure that’s what Soderbergh and writer DavidContinue reading “‘Kimi’ A Hitchcockian Thriller For The Digital Media Age”
Olympics Figure Skating Scandal Reinforces Pressures We Place On Youth

The scandal and controversy all week is that Kamila Valieva, who is only 15, had tested positive in December for the banned drug trimetazidine. But here is the issue? Did she knowingly take it or was it given toContinue reading “Olympics Figure Skating Scandal Reinforces Pressures We Place On Youth”
‘Boba Fett’ Series Takes Star Wars Franchise In A Better Direction
Why in the blue fuck do people who call themselves Star Wars fans hate everything else about the franchise other than the original trilogy? It seems for the past 20 years of so, fans have gone to extreme lengths to voice their distaste for the franchise. Not even Star Trek fans have this intolerable hatredContinue reading “‘Boba Fett’ Series Takes Star Wars Franchise In A Better Direction”
