Trump Doesn’t Want To Live Off-Camera, Much Less Talk

In the 1991 concert documentary Madonna: Truth or Dare, Warren Beatty summed up the pop singer/actress/diva in one simple phrase when he said, “She doesn’t know how to live off camera, much less talk.” Ouch! Beatty and Madonna were dating during the time of her Blond Ambition tour. They had starred together in the 1990Continue reading “Trump Doesn’t Want To Live Off-Camera, Much Less Talk”

How ‘In Living Color’ Forever Changed The Super Bowl Broadcast

Since the first Super Bowl game on Jan. 15, 1967 and for every one 25 years later, the halftime became synonymous with an urban legend that the New York City sewer system would experience problems. Before there was TiVo and the generic DVS, people had to watch the Super Bowl live. They couldn’t even tapeContinue reading “How ‘In Living Color’ Forever Changed The Super Bowl Broadcast”

‘Pale Rider’ Is Eastwood’s Supernatural Western Masterpiece

Clint Eastwood has never done a real straight horror movie. His first movie as a lab tech in one single scene Return of the Creature was more of a monster movie. Play Misty for Me and Tightrope are more erotic psychological thrillers. And even the Dirty Harry movies are more focused on action thrills thanContinue reading “‘Pale Rider’ Is Eastwood’s Supernatural Western Masterpiece”

South Park’s Mockery Of Canada Seems More Timely With Classic Episode, Guy

Almost from the beginning of their run, South Park co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone seemed to have been poking fun of Canada in one form or another.

‘Slingshot’ Slowly Backfires

Slingshot comes from the mind of Nathan Parker, the son of famed filmmaker Alan Parker, whose first credited movie Moon was an impressive science-fiction movie in which Sam Rockwell plays a maintenance man at automated mining facility on the moon who discovers someone who seems to be a more able version of himself. It justContinue reading “‘Slingshot’ Slowly Backfires”

What Did Trump Supporters Think Would Happen?

I’m hardly on X or Twitter (or Shitter) as I’ve heard it be called now. But comedian and transgender model Stacy Cay posed a good question – What did people in this country think would happen? This past weekend, Donald Trump ordered tariffs placed on Canada, China and Mexico using the illegal spread of fentanylContinue reading “What Did Trump Supporters Think Would Happen?”

‘Emilia Perez’ Suffers From Its Own Identity Crisis

There’s three ways to make a movie with the focal point around a transgender person – the good, the bad and the ugly. In 2018, A Fantastic Woman won the Best Foreign Language Oscar and it focused on the life of a woman who was the partner of a deceased older man and became criticizedContinue reading “‘Emilia Perez’ Suffers From Its Own Identity Crisis”

‘Spamalot Diaries’ Is The Book Equivalent Of You Just Had To Be There

I’ve been a big Monty Python fan for over 30 years. Little did I know that some of my favorite movies as a kid like A Fish Called Wanda and Yellowbeard which I saw in the 1980s had that Pythonesque humor to it. (Ok, Yellowbeard is not so good once you get older.) And IContinue reading “‘Spamalot Diaries’ Is The Book Equivalent Of You Just Had To Be There”
