‘Companion’ A Sci-Fi Expose Of Toxic Relationships And Gaslighting
It’s very easy for a movie like Companion to miss the mark with the same stuff we’ve seen before. I don’t blame Warner Bros. Discovery who distributed the movie through New Line Cinema for dumping it in late January. Companion is the ying to the yang that was Subservience, which opened in September of lastContinue reading “‘Companion’ A Sci-Fi Expose Of Toxic Relationships And Gaslighting”

A Mean Green Mother This Weekend With ‘Little Shop Of Horrors’
For our senior musical play, we did Little Shop of Horrors. And like the 1986 film adaptation, it suffered its own set of problems. Some of the seniors were upset because it only had a few woman roles but that was changed. It’s not like all the girls I went to school with were JulliardContinue reading “A Mean Green Mother This Weekend With ‘Little Shop Of Horrors’”

For the first time in history, an American has been elected by the conclave as Pope. On Thursday, March 8, Robert Francis Prevost, 69, has elected the new pontiff taking the name Pope Leo XIV.

Don’t Give Trump Anymore Press
Ten years ago on the The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, they discussed that the reason Donald Trump is getting so much attention is because people keep talking about him. This was back when he was one of many candidates (Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush among them) and considered the dark horse candidate. Granted, weContinue reading “Don’t Give Trump Anymore Press”
‘Revenge Of The Sith’ Ends Prequel Trilogy On Bittersweet, Brilliant Note
The irony of Star Wars fans hating the prequels 20-25 years ago is they must’ve known things were going to go from good to bad in the plots and events. The problem with The Phantom Menace is that while it’s the first of the Skywalker Saga, it shows all the crazy bureaucratic and political eventsContinue reading “‘Revenge Of The Sith’ Ends Prequel Trilogy On Bittersweet, Brilliant Note”
