‘The Monster Squad’ Scares Up Nostalgia

The premise behind The Monster Squad is one we often have as children, thinking what it would be like if we actually battled the monsters of yesterday movies. I remember a story filmmaker Rob Reiner said about how the old Bela Lugosi Dracula left such an impression on him, he was afraid to go outContinue reading “‘The Monster Squad’ Scares Up Nostalgia”

Zack Snyder Cut Brings Some ‘Justice’ To DCEU Crossover Movie

It still boggles my mind to how some Hollywood producers and even moviegoers can’t grasp how the MCU and the DCEU movies should work. When Batman’s A Death in the Family story came out in the late 1980s, I scooped the book up at a Piggly Wiggly newsstand and was quick to discover that SupermanContinue reading “Zack Snyder Cut Brings Some ‘Justice’ To DCEU Crossover Movie”

Support And Loyalty Are Two Different Things In Politics

Now, that Andrew Cuomo is leaving the governor seat of New York amid sexual harassment claims, it should show the level of support versus loyalty in politics. I think the problem a lot of people, mostly in the south, feel that the 2020 election was rigged or stolen is because they’ve misunderstood advertisements for reality.Continue reading “Support And Loyalty Are Two Different Things In Politics”

Greed And Decadence At The Heart Of ‘Weekend At Bernie’s’

A movie like Weekend at Bernie’s isn’t supposed to be taken seriously. It’s a movie about two guys who parade their dead boss around for two-thirds of the run time to give the impression he’s alive. It was directed by Ted Kotcheff, who made the first First Blood movie and written by Robert Klane, whoContinue reading “Greed And Decadence At The Heart Of ‘Weekend At Bernie’s’”

‘Dr. Death’ A Full Examination Of Narcissism

Dr. Christopher Duntsch is the type of doctor who probably would give the infamous Dr. Josef Mengele chills. If there was ever a true-life mad doctor, it would be Duntsch. But most movies or TV shows about mad doctors often portray them as vain physicians trying to make new headways in healthcare and medicine. They’reContinue reading “‘Dr. Death’ A Full Examination Of Narcissism”

JCVD Gets A Kick Out Of Playing ‘The Last Mercenary’

Despite the TV-MA rating on Netflix, The Last Mercenary, recently released, is actually an action comedy for audiences mostly of all ages.

‘Forrest Gump’ Insists Upon Itself (And Jenny Deserved Better)

I am by far no fan of Forrest Gump. If there was ever a movie that should’ve never won the Best Picture Oscar, it should be Forrest Gump. Schindler’s List was such a serious important movie that I think Hollywood just decided to throw its hands up give it to a movie that is basicallyContinue reading “‘Forrest Gump’ Insists Upon Itself (And Jenny Deserved Better)”
