‘The Rip’ Is One Of Those Movie That Is For Guys That Like Movies

Some filmmakers get stuck in their formative years and it becomes a reflection on their work no matter how long they live. Quentin Tarantino seems to be stuck in the 1970s. Floyd Mutrux wrote, produced and directed movies that were mostly set in the 1950s and early 1960s. It happens. Your late teens and early 20s are usually those moments when you feel like you’re goingContinue reading “‘The Rip’ Is One Of Those Movie That Is For Guys That Like Movies”

Snowy Weekend

A winter storm has brought some snow through the Oklahoma/Texas area and more is expected tonight and into tomorrow morning. I hope everyone out there in the path of this storm is safe and stays warm. Check on the people around you, not just the elderly. All it takes is one simple text to aContinue reading “Snowy Weekend”

‘The Hidden’ Needs To Be Seen

During the 1980s, filmmakers managed to make some of the best sci-fi movies without having much special effects. Look at the first Back to the Future or the first Terminator. Even then, we knew that a lot of special effects are just eye candy if the story isn’t well made. There are a number of campy and crappy sci-fi movies that were released during thisContinue reading “‘The Hidden’ Needs To Be Seen”

Oscar Nominations Have Been Announced, So Who Gets The Gold?

As someone who’s been watching the Oscars since the late 1980s, I wasn’t surprised by the latest nominations, even though I did think it’s odd Wicked For Good was snubbed. It happens sometimes. Look at The French Connection II, Babe: Pig in the City, and just about every Rocky sequel. Ok, the second and third Rocky were good but not Oscar worthy. And you feel the Academy nominated The Godfather Part III just out ofContinue reading “Oscar Nominations Have Been Announced, So Who Gets The Gold?”

“Fled Cruz” Is At It Again

If you ever see Ted Cruz at an airport ahead of a winter storm that is forecast, just be warned the shit is going to hit the fan.

One Year Down, But Will It Just Be Three More Or A Lot Longer?

I’ve never met him in real life but Derek Russo is a friend of a friend. At 50, he is a hulking actor and stuntman who’s appeared in Cobra Kai, Bad Boys: Ride or Die and The Mule. He had a big role in the Creepshow Christmas episode as well. But every now and again, we’ll get on a discussion feed on one of my friend’s social media posts. One thing aboutContinue reading “One Year Down, But Will It Just Be Three More Or A Lot Longer?”

Remembering The Legacy Of Dr. King Seems More Important Each Year

I remember back in high school, my government teacher, Georgia Hardwick, said that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. knew he was living on borrowed time the minute he started pushing back. Or shall I say that he didn’t push back. The authorities were wanting a reason to use force but by non-violent resistant, they willContinue reading “Remembering The Legacy Of Dr. King Seems More Important Each Year”

Still Waiting For The Dankery

In the summer of 2018, Oklahoma voters approved by a 57 percent majority to have medical cannabis. It was one of the few things liberals and conservatives wanted. But the problem was the state hadn’t anticipated for it to pass so they didn’t have a contigency transition plan to deal with what would come next.Continue reading “Still Waiting For The Dankery”

‘A House Of Dynamite’ Has Some Great Sparks Despite Too Many Duds

A movie like A House of Dynamite feels like the first part of a two-part miniseries that would’ve aired during the Cold War era. And that might find so many people frustrated by what all happens. Or shall I say what doesn’t happen. The events take place over many hours on what starts out as just another normal Friday. One thing people haveContinue reading “‘A House Of Dynamite’ Has Some Great Sparks Despite Too Many Duds”

‘Return Of The Living Dead Part II’ Never Does Work As Well

By the winter of 1988, zombie movies were dead…for lack of a better word. Horror movies in general were in rare supply by then. Parental groups and an almost universal distaste for the genre by the most famous and professional critics meant most of the horror flicks were the bottom of the barrel, about a small rung upContinue reading “‘Return Of The Living Dead Part II’ Never Does Work As Well”
