Carry-On might be the best Die Hard or Mission: Impossible Bruce Willis and Tom Cruise never made. Set mostly in the vast terminal that is Los Angeles International Airport, it feels more suited for streaming than it does for the big screen. This is one of those movies that uses tension rather than wham-bam action,Continue reading “‘Carry-On’ Is One Good ‘Die Hard/Mission: Impossible’ Imitator”

‘End Of Days’ 25 Years Later No So Bad In Retrospect
Beginning with his role Hercules in New York, Arnold Schwarzenegger had appeared in comedies, action movies, neo-noir, westerns, science-fiction and fantasy. Yet, he had never really done straight horror. James Cameron had said The Terminator was supposed to be a variation on the slasher genre but the science-fiction elements led to people thinking it wasContinue reading “‘End Of Days’ 25 Years Later No So Bad In Retrospect”
Please Help If You Can
Losing a loved one at Christmastime can be hard, especially if it’s a young man with his whole future cut short by a senseless act of violence. I know with the holidays, times can be tough. But if you can help this Oklahoma family who is spending the holidays gathering together for a funeral insteadContinue reading “Please Help If You Can”
Happy Kwanzaa!
I want to wish everyone who celebrates a Happy Kwanzaa which lasts from today until Wednesday, Jan. 1. The celebration was inspired by the harvest festivals in Africa with the lighting of seven candles each day. One candle is black while another three are green and the other three are red. Thank you once againContinue reading “Happy Kwanzaa!”
‘Red One’ Isn’t So Fun
Red One is one of those movies that seemed better as a pitch idea for a studio executive rather than a movie. I equate to the atrociously bad The Santa Clause in which it all seemed like a good idea until they put it all together. Apparently, in this movie, Santa Claus and the HeadlessContinue reading “‘Red One’ Isn’t So Fun”
Please Help If You Can
I know the holidays can put a strain on your finances. But being sick can be worse. As someone whose family is undergoing chemo at this time, I always want to help others. I follow Cydney on social media and everyone needs help. So, if you can, please donate as she goes through this difficultContinue reading “Please Help If You Can”
Happy Hanukkah!
I want to wish each and everyone who celebrates a very Happy Hanukkah! As it seems anti-Semitic views have escalated in recent years, it’s a religion/faith that has been around for about 4,000 years and practiced by millions all over the world. Maybe we can learn a lesson this Christmas as the first night fallsContinue reading “Happy Hanukkah!”
Merry Christmas Everyone!
I want to wish each and everyone of you a very Merry Christmas! Thanks for reading, subscribing and sharing the posts. I hope you all have a great day!
The Awkward Darkness Of ‘The Life and Adventures Of Santa Claus’
All good things must come to an end sometimes. By the close of the 1970s, the Rankin/Bass Christmas holiday specials looked very atrocious in comparison to their earlier productions. In 1979, Rudolph and Frosty’s Christmas in July was released and it’s about as bad as it looks. Even at an hour and a half, it’sContinue reading “The Awkward Darkness Of ‘The Life and Adventures Of Santa Claus’”
A Golden Jubilee For ”Twas The Night Before Christmas’ At 50
Of all the Rankin/Bass Christmas specials, I think the 1974 ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas is one of their most underrated specials. While everyone likes Rudolph and Frosty and Ginger Santa and the Miser Brothers. The 25-minute special loosely inspired by Clement Clarke Moore’s A Visit from St. Nicholas is mostly centered around Junctionville, USA.Continue reading “A Golden Jubilee For ”Twas The Night Before Christmas’ At 50″
