Don’t Invite ‘The Devil’s Rejects’ To Your Holiday Get-Together

Getting together for Thanksgiving weekend is always a hassle for families. There’s all the cooking and the rearranging of family coming to visit. And then, you have law enforcement interrupt your plans by planning a raid where you have several people tied up in the basement. Or you’re stopping by a roadside motel only toContinue reading “Don’t Invite ‘The Devil’s Rejects’ To Your Holiday Get-Together”

‘If Animals Could Talk’ Doesn’t Wear Out It’s One-Joke Premise

If Animals Could Talk: A Children’s Book for Adults is one of those vulgar silly books that is intended for people with sophomoric humor. That’s not to say, it isn’t funny. I did laugh. Despite the 132 pages, I got through it in no time. And that’s just what a book like this should be,Continue reading “‘If Animals Could Talk’ Doesn’t Wear Out It’s One-Joke Premise”

Happy Thanksgiving!

I want to wish each and everyone of you a very safe and Happy Thanksgiving. I have no plans for today but something later this weekend. I’m probably going to watch the parade and then Planes Trains and Automobiles. If you’re not a fan of football but want to watch something else, you can alwaysContinue reading “Happy Thanksgiving!”

All That ZAZ: Thanks For The Laughter, Jim Abrahams!

Some movies seemed to just come around at the right time. When Airplane! opened in the summer of 1980, the Irwin Allen-produced era of the disaster movies that dominated the 1970s had ended with the atrociously bad When Time Ran Out… and it seemed the movie could’ve been a parody that was a few yearsContinue reading “All That ZAZ: Thanks For The Laughter, Jim Abrahams!”

‘Thelma’ Is The Role For Which June Squibb Has Been Waiting A Lifetime

A lot of people have dreams of making it big in Hollywood. But June Squibb spent decades working on the stage before she got her SAG card in her mid-50s in 1985 in an episode of CBS Schoolbreak Special. But it was another five years before she appeared on the Silver Screen in Woody Allen’sContinue reading “‘Thelma’ Is The Role For Which June Squibb Has Been Waiting A Lifetime”

Sisters Aren’t Doin’ It For Themselves

The older I get the more and more I’m convinced women hate each other. Not all of them. Yet if there is any possibility of competition, they will find a way to one-up each other. But I’m going to suggest (not explain) why I think this happens. From the moment they’re born, little girls areContinue reading “Sisters Aren’t Doin’ It For Themselves”

‘Alien: Romulus’ Is More Of The Same

Fade In Studio Exec 1: So, what’s your movie idea? Filmmaker: Here me out, a sequel to Alien, but a prequel to Aliens. Studio Exec 2: Aren’t people tired of the franchise? I mean, that last one had Danny McBride, for chrissakes! Filmmaker: No! We’ll just keep a small cast this time of people. ButContinue reading “‘Alien: Romulus’ Is More Of The Same”

‘The Dead Pool’ Is Dirty Harry’s Swan Song In Metafictional Thriller

A movie like The Dead Pool is now more famous for its supporting cast and the unrelated media franchise its named spawned. It is the fifth and final Dirty Harry movie as Clint Eastwood was well into his 50s by the time of the movie’s release in the summer of 1988. My thinking Eastwood madeContinue reading “‘The Dead Pool’ Is Dirty Harry’s Swan Song In Metafictional Thriller”

‘Mr. McMahon’ Avoids A Total Smackdown On Wrestling Mogul

A docuseries like Mr. McMahon is hard to watch because a lot of the people being interviewed are pretty horrible people. I can imagine filmmaker Chris Smith watching the 2024 Republican National Convention in July and jumping up and down as Hulk Hogan did his foolish shirt tear trademark as he supporting Donald Trump. YouContinue reading “‘Mr. McMahon’ Avoids A Total Smackdown On Wrestling Mogul”
