That Tiger Went Tiger

More than a decade after Harambe, a western lowland silverback gorilla, was fatally shot at the Cincinnati Zoo for dragging around a 3-year-old child, thankfully history didn’t repeat itself. Sadly Harambe’s fate was a judgment call because hitting him with a tranquilizer might have put the child, who had climbed into the enclosure, at greaterContinue reading “That Tiger Went Tiger”

Sending Thoughts To Those Affected By Tropical Storms

As of this posting, Isaias has been downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone after making landfill as a Category 2 Hurricane. There are about four people are reported dead and thousands are without power. I know people who live in Navarre, Fla. on the panhandle who say they passed through with not many accidents. The roofContinue reading “Sending Thoughts To Those Affected By Tropical Storms”

‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2’ At 40: Good In Parts

With the Oklahoma/Texas game this weekend, it’s been a tradition. It’s a wonderful time to look at the great misstep that is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. The movie is set around the Red River Rivalry. Two teenage hell-raisers Rick (Chris Douridas) and Buzz (Barry Kinyon) are driving along a Texas roadway to the DallasContinue reading “‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2’ At 40: Good In Parts”

‘Normal’ Is Becoming Odenkirk’s New Normal Unfortunately

I didn’t think Bob Odenkirk would become the new Liam Neeson who replaced the late Charles Bronson as the Angry White Mam who uses violence to solve everything. The first Nobody was like the first Taken as it gave us an actor not known for the type of movie and turned it into a funContinue reading “‘Normal’ Is Becoming Odenkirk’s New Normal Unfortunately”

Another One Bites The Dust

If no one is saying much about Dennis Hastert, then don’t expect more for Jim Bakker who died earlier this week.If there’s one good thing you can say about Bakker, it’s at least he didn’t sexually assault young children. However, he allegedly raped Jessica Hahn at a Florida hotel in early December 1980. He thenContinue reading “Another One Bites The Dust”

A Free Drink When Your Entree Is Taking Longer To Cook

To be honest, no tears will be shed much over Dennis Hastert, especially as more details emerge now that he’s dead.Hastert, a Republican from Illinois, served as the Speaker of the House for eight years beginning in January 1999 and ending in January 2007. He was the second in succession to the Presidency. And afterContinue reading “A Free Drink When Your Entree Is Taking Longer To Cook”

The Curious Case Of Christa Pike

Last week, Christa Pike was set to executed by lethal injection. It wasn’t successful as she reportedly didn’t die but is unconscious with no certainty if she’ll regain consciousness. Her lawyers say she could’ve suffered serious brain injury. The $64,000 question is if she fully recovers while the State of Tennessee Department of Corrections fulfilContinue reading “The Curious Case Of Christa Pike”

The President Doesn’t Care About You – Period

They say you can tell a lot about someone by the way they treat an animal. Well, people who aren’t considerate of others tell you a lot. The current President was booed at a Texas/Tennessee football game a week ago. I’m sure as the baseball playoff season begins, he will be appearing at a gameContinue reading “The President Doesn’t Care About You – Period”

‘The Phantom Of The Opera’ Is An Ambitious Bloody Adaptation

I don’t believe nostalgia makes a movie better but there are rare cases in which a movie was released at the wrong time or with bad marketing it deserves some reassessment over time. When The Phantom of the Opera was released in 1989, it had the trifecta of misfortune of being released as horror moviesContinue reading “‘The Phantom Of The Opera’ Is An Ambitious Bloody Adaptation”
