‘Summer of Soul’ Never Really Comes Alive

I wanted to like this documentary a lot more than I did. I really wanted to tell you why you should watch this immediately right now or as soon as possible, but I found myself becoming irritated the more this documentary goes on. Summer of Soul (…Or, When The Revolution Could Not Be Televised) isContinue reading “‘Summer of Soul’ Never Really Comes Alive”

For What Is A Man Profited

This summer, we have seen avarice at its worst as billionaires have spent millions to basically have small rides into space. To say Jeff Bezos is one of the most hated men in America, if not the world, is an understatement. The money Bezos spent to ride what looked like the Statue of Liberty’s vibratorContinue reading “For What Is A Man Profited”

‘Maximum Overdrive’ Still One Wild Ride

Riddle me this, Batman. What do you get when you take one of the most popular writers of the time who is the peak of his drug and alcohol abuse and give him total authority to direct a movie? Then, you add a cast that includes a Brat Packer, the future voice of Lisa SimpsonContinue reading “‘Maximum Overdrive’ Still One Wild Ride”

‘Revelation’ Doesn’t Have The Power To Bring ‘Masters Of The Universe’ To A New Generation Just Yet

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”
