With the new Superman movie getting rave reviews (and silly social media criticism from the right) and making money, the modern day superhero/comic book era has been ongoing since 1985 with the publications of Watchmen and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns changing things up. DC Comics decided to movie away from the Comic Codes AuthorityContinue reading “‘Whatever Happened To The Man Of Tomorrow’ A Notable Superman Tale”

Blast Off To SpaceCamp
Once upon a time, my school would take trips to SpaceCamp in Huntsville, Ala. It was about 120 miles away from where I grew up so they’d usually do the trips on Saturdays or during Spring Break. But they stopped doing it. I don’t know why. The faculty was kinda crazy at my alma matterContinue reading “Blast Off To SpaceCamp”
‘Luckiest Man In America’ Presses Liberties On Outrageous True Story
The Luckiest Man in America takes a stranger than fiction story then fills it with too much fiction. The story of Michael Larson has been known for years. At one time, Bill Murray was considering doing a biopic based on it. Back in 1983, Press Your Luck premiered. It was a daytime game show inContinue reading “‘Luckiest Man In America’ Presses Liberties On Outrageous True Story”
Anyone Still Believe This Horseshit?!
When I was working as a reporter down in south Georgia near Plains, I was covering an event where former President Jimmy Carter was speaking. I was taking notes and got this feeling I was being watched. I glanced to my left and saw a Secret Service guy standing five feet away or so staringContinue reading “Anyone Still Believe This Horseshit?!”

‘Frog Dreaming’ Slogs Through A Murky Story That Cheats Its Audience
It’s rather appropriate that Henry Thomas would be the star of a movie like Frog Dreaming or The Go Kids as it was released in some countries. In America, it was released as The Quest and the poster art pretty much gave away the big twist. Thomas, a young boy from San Antonio, was aContinue reading “‘Frog Dreaming’ Slogs Through A Murky Story That Cheats Its Audience”
‘Sinners’ Is A Jim Crow Southern Gothic Version Of ‘From Dusk Till Dawn’
Every now and again, a movie like Sinners comes around. Everyone seems to rave about it but I don’t see it. I don’t know why it’s been so hard for filmmakers in the last 10-15 to make good vampire movies. Maybe the Twilight franchise and True Blood series ruined it all. The last good vampireContinue reading “‘Sinners’ Is A Jim Crow Southern Gothic Version Of ‘From Dusk Till Dawn’”
‘Sally’ Takes Us On A Quick Ride Through Astronaut’s Life
Sally Ride passed away 13 years ago this month. She was the first American woman astronaut to fly in space. One of the lines of dialogue spoken in The Right Stuff about the Mercury 7 was how they hadn’t achieved anything except being named the Mercury 7 as none had gone into space at thatContinue reading “‘Sally’ Takes Us On A Quick Ride Through Astronaut’s Life”
Blind Faith Is Really Foolish Faith
So, I’ve seen this post on social media the last few days as news comes in of the children who died in the flooding along Guadalupe River in Texas. I’m not a very religious person mainly because of things like this. If Jesus Christ can stand just beyond the Pearly Gates and welcome children whoContinue reading “Blind Faith Is Really Foolish Faith”
