Please Help If You Can

It’s been a little over a month since Ainsley passed. It happened on Thanksgiving weekend and shocked all of us. Ainsley was known and loved by all. Shortly before my mom passed, she would interact with Ainsley’s mother in civic events in my hometown where she would often see Ainsley and her son around. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-doug-and-jack-rebuild-after-losing-ansley?fbclid=IwdGRjcAPJJyVjbGNrA8knDWV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHj1sMC_Jew-g70dmBySQm8aGEooAxWXydtMKSVQXpSzyb4Z2y8GVBo59hiDE_aem_kVzMhDTVDyT0j7wXlDMOjQContinue reading “Please Help If You Can”

‘Toxic Avenger’ Remake Sizzles In Absurd, Gross-Out Goofiness

Trying to critique a Troma movie is like trying to describe a Jackson Pollock to Helen Keller. It’s an exercise in futility because you have to see a Jackson Pollock to understand his use of colors. And I’m sure Keller never really could distinguish between red and blue.   When the movie studio was established in the early 1970s, it was supposed to be different from anything else. And consideringContinue reading “‘Toxic Avenger’ Remake Sizzles In Absurd, Gross-Out Goofiness”

‘Holidays’ A Potluck That Offers Few Goodies And The Rest Can Be Avoided

A movie like Holidays is like a potluck dinner at a family get-together. You don’t really know what you should eat but you’re sure you’re not going to like most of what you choose.   Anthologies are like that. They usually have a few good segments, a few not so good and a few you can totally avoid. I wouldn’t say they’re bad, but the filmmakers are usually restrained by a time frame that hurts the story telling.   It’s no surprise that theContinue reading “‘Holidays’ A Potluck That Offers Few Goodies And The Rest Can Be Avoided”

Recent Homophobia Over ‘Stranger Things’ Shows How Little We’ve Come

People are very stupid. As Stranger Things sets to air its series finale episode in less than 24 hours, the seventh episode of the fifth season has been review-bombed.   And it’s all because of a scene where Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) finally comes out to his mother and his friends that he’s gay. Of course, it’s a difficult thing for him to say as his friends seem toContinue reading “Recent Homophobia Over ‘Stranger Things’ Shows How Little We’ve Come”

Clear Creek Monastery In The Ozarks

Opened in 1999, the Clear Creek Monastery is a Benedictine Abbey located in the Ozarks in Cherokee County, Oklahoma. The monastery also goes by Our Lady of the Annunciation of Clear Creek Abbey or just simply Clear Creek Abbey.
