The Fight That Was Slow-Streamed Around The World

Maybe if the Mike Tyson/Jake Paul fight had occurred over the summer like it was originally scheduled, it might have seem more thrilling. But I felt like it was a dud. Also, coming as it does about 10 days after the election of Donald Trump, it seems to be really anti-climatic. There seems to beContinue reading “The Fight That Was Slow-Streamed Around The World”

‘Return Of The Living Dead III’ Gives Zombie Horror Some Fresh Taste

By the time, Return of the Living Dead III hit theaters in the Fall of 1993, the zombie genre was for lack of a better word – dead. No one was really making movies about people who came back to life and ate human flesh or brains at this time. It didn’t help that theContinue reading “‘Return Of The Living Dead III’ Gives Zombie Horror Some Fresh Taste”

‘Martha’ Is A Delightful Dish Into Celebrity’s Life, Loss And Longevity

Andy Rooney on 60 Minutes was once asked if it’s true that Martha Stewart is difficult to work with. He said, “No, Martha Stewart is impossible to work with.” I was never a fan of Martha when I was younger because I didn’t see the appeal. Now, as I’m older, I view her no differentContinue reading “‘Martha’ Is A Delightful Dish Into Celebrity’s Life, Loss And Longevity”

‘Caddo Lake’ Keeps Itself Afloat

Caddo Lake is one of those thrillers that drops clues here and there letting you know exactly where it’s headed. And even when you realize how it got here, you scratch your head and look back and realize things you missed. It’s hard to write a good decent review of the movie without letting tooContinue reading “‘Caddo Lake’ Keeps Itself Afloat”

‘Too Many Cooks’ Ten Years Later

Since its invention, television led to a lot of surprises. People watched Lee Harvey Oswald get murdered by Jack Ruby live on TV. Then, they saw the Challenger space shuttle explode with confusion and shock. The infamous Max Headroom signal hacking happened on Chicago stations WGN and WTTW in 1987 and there’s still no ideaContinue reading “‘Too Many Cooks’ Ten Years Later”

The ‘Candyman’ Can: Farewell To Master Of Horror Tony Todd

As is always the case with many icons of horror, they didn’t start out making horror movies. Kane Hodder was a stuntman and some of his earliest roles were in action movies like Lone Wolf McQuade or comedies like Hardbodies. Robert Englund appeared alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in Stay Hungry and Kris Kristofferson and Barbra StreisandContinue reading “The ‘Candyman’ Can: Farewell To Master Of Horror Tony Todd”

A Great Day For Veterans

I want to wish all the military veterans out there a great day today. I won’t say “Happy Veterans Day” because some of them haven’t been too happy. The government for years seems to not treat them well. And it probably doesn’t help that the next Commander-In-Chief has called them “suckers” and “losers” and criticizedContinue reading “A Great Day For Veterans”

‘My Old Ass’ Is A Hallmark/Young Adult Hybrid With Lots Of F-Bombs

The marketing behind My Old Ass makes it out to be an irreverent comedy starring Aubrey Plaza as a grown woman who visits her teenage self. It’s actually a Canadian version of The Fault in Our Stars where Plaza has less than 10 minutes of screen time. Since I already mentioned that atrocious teen movieContinue reading “‘My Old Ass’ Is A Hallmark/Young Adult Hybrid With Lots Of F-Bombs”

SkasdiCon Brings In Many

For the third consecutive year, SkasdiCon was held in Tahlequah on Saturday, Nov. 9. The event is like other comic-book conventions. However, this one has a focus on Indigenous Native American arts and culture as November is Native American Heritage Month. This year the event moved from the University Center Ballroom at the Tahlequah campusContinue reading “SkasdiCon Brings In Many”

‘A Nightmare On Elm Street’ Turns 40

By the Fall of 1984, the slasher subgenre of horror was at the bottom of the barrel of movies. The critics hated them. Parental groups were trying to get them removed from theaters. And major studios realized they weren’t making the money they once did. Most of the movies were independently produced on the pre-soldContinue reading “‘A Nightmare On Elm Street’ Turns 40”
