For years, decades really, while he was alive, Charles Schulz’s Peanuts gang had about 40 TV specials, 18 episodes over two seasons of The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show and four full feature movies. But it might not all have happened if It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown didn’t work so well and become anContinue reading “‘It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown’ Continues To Delight Instead Of Fright”

‘Fight Night’ Goes The Distance But Falls Short Of A Knockout
Kevin Hart is one of those actors who seems to work mostly when he’s in comedic roles. However, he’s been wanting to branch out in more serious roles lately. I haven’t seen him in Lift but I heard he’s miscast. And that’s part of the problem with Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist, a limitedContinue reading “‘Fight Night’ Goes The Distance But Falls Short Of A Knockout”
‘The Blob’ Remake Makes A Bigger Splash On Reassessment
While it seems remakes/reboots are all the trends now with most of them failing, filmmakers decades ago seemed to get it right. John Carpenter’s The Thing is seen now as one of his best movies with a thrilling score by the late great Ennio Morricone. When Mel Brooks tapped David Cronenberg to do a remakeContinue reading “‘The Blob’ Remake Makes A Bigger Splash On Reassessment”
Fake It Till You Make It
I’ve never had to work in the food service industry. I have had to clean up shit that was on the floor. And it wasn’t mine. It was human excrement. The summer of 1998 I got a job bagging groceries at the Piggly Wiggly in my hometown of Calhoun, Ga. Now, this town produced someContinue reading “Fake It Till You Make It”
‘Your Monster’ A Modern Retelling Of Beauty And The Beast
I saw Your Monster at an advanced screening at the Regal Warren Theater in Broken Arrow, Okla. as they have a Monday Mystery Movie every week. For $5, you can see a movie about to be released later that week or month. But they won’t tell you what it is. I was skeptical going in.Continue reading “‘Your Monster’ A Modern Retelling Of Beauty And The Beast”
‘Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark’ Series Remain Some Of The Best
Like most people, I was very disappointed with the 2019 loose adaptation of the book series Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. The three books published over a 10-year period from Oct. 14, 1981 to Sept. 1, 1991 were some of the true terrifying stories for young people. Most of them were retellings ofContinue reading “‘Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark’ Series Remain Some Of The Best”
Mixed Reception For ‘Late Night With The Devil’
David Dastmalchian is one of those actors who has a distinct look that he’s often cast in roles where he plays bad guys or just unhinged characters. His first role was as one of The Joker’s henchmen, who had just been released from Arkham Asylum, during a scene in The Dark Knight. He’s appeared inContinue reading “Mixed Reception For ‘Late Night With The Devil’”
‘Woman Of The Hour’ Has Great Power
Statistically, they say the average person passes by about 36 murderers in their lifetime. You never know what’s going to happen. Years ago, when I was still working at the Wagoner Tribune, I read a police report on a man arrested in nearby Coweta, Okla. that said he had considered abducting a woman near theContinue reading “‘Woman Of The Hour’ Has Great Power”
‘Rebel Ridge’ Good But Falls Short Of Spectacular Action Thriller
A movie like Rebel Ridge has all the makings of a very good movie that could’ve been an incredibly awesome movie. It’s the type of movie that could’ve benefitted from another set of eyes on it in post-production. Jeremy Saulnier is credited as the writer and director…as well as the editor. And at 131 minutes,Continue reading “‘Rebel Ridge’ Good But Falls Short Of Spectacular Action Thriller”
