‘Back In Action’ Lacking In Much Action And Originality

Back in Action had become more famous for the behind the scenes real-life drama that probably had the rest of the cast and crew worried if it could be finished at all. Jamie Foxx had been hospitalized in April 2023 while working on the movie in Atlanta. His family and close friends did a greatContinue reading “‘Back In Action’ Lacking In Much Action And Originality”

‘Super/Man’ Documentary Will Make You Believe Anybody Can Soar High

During one of the interviews in the documentary Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story that hits hard is when Glenn Close says she thinks Robin Williams would still be alive if Reeve was still alive. While Williams was suffering from Lewy body dementia at the time of his death, I will have to agree with herContinue reading “‘Super/Man’ Documentary Will Make You Believe Anybody Can Soar High”

Liberation Day

There’s a saying that goes, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme.” As Donald Trump tries to revoke birthright citizenship, lead a mass deportation of undocumented immigrants and clamp down on basic rights for the LGBTQIA community, 80 years ago, the Soviet Union liberated Auschwitz-Birkenau, one of the most horrific places of human savagery,Continue reading “Liberation Day”

Turrelle Sisters Perform At Squeeze Inn

While the current Trump Administration seems to have an issue with the LGBTQIA community, the Tahlequah community was saying, “Fuck you, bitch!” The Turrelle Sisters (Josie Lee, Porcelynn, Sasha, Maxine) along with Robyn Davenport-Fier (pictured above) performed at The Squeeze Inn bar in Tahlequah. Many people said the establishment was very busy and the mostContinue reading “Turrelle Sisters Perform At Squeeze Inn”

‘In A Violent Nature’ Is A Polished Turd

Former President Barack Obama once said, “You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.” Despite criticism that he was mocking former Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin who was John McCain’s running mate in 2008, it’s actually a version of an idiom coined in the 20th Century. A similar idiom is “You can’tContinue reading “‘In A Violent Nature’ Is A Polished Turd”

‘Running Man’ A Sensational Warning Of A Future Closely Approaching

Note: This post does contain spoilers to this and other movies. One the surface, a movie like 1987’s The Running Man seems to be more of a typical Arnold Schwarzenegger action fare. But under the surface is a satire and maybe a warning of a future that seems vastly approaching to a reality. Now thatContinue reading “‘Running Man’ A Sensational Warning Of A Future Closely Approaching”

‘Queer’ Is Quite Straight

I’m going to be brutally honest here. Just because a movie, TV show or literary work covers a subject matter that is (or in this case) was hardly ever discussed, it doesn’t make it automatically great. William S. Burroughs was part of the Beat Generation, but we have to wonder was he consider good becauseContinue reading “‘Queer’ Is Quite Straight”

‘Six Triple Eight’ Is An Unintentional Parody Of Civil Rights Movies

There are a lot of stories from war-times or just plain history that never get told. The Six Triple Eight is an attempt to be one of those untold story of unsung heroes. But since it’s written and directed by Tyler Perry who also is one of the producers as it was filmed at hisContinue reading “‘Six Triple Eight’ Is An Unintentional Parody Of Civil Rights Movies”

Unity Is Earned, Not Given Or Expected

For all the people defending Donald Trump saying this country needs “unity,” I want you to tell me what did you offer in the last four years? We never hear of the U-word when there is a Democrat in the Oval Office. No, all we hear about is division. When Bill Clinton became President, theContinue reading “Unity Is Earned, Not Given Or Expected”

David Lynch Made Avant-Garde Cinema/TV Mainstream

I’ve often said even when David Lynch made a bad movie, it was still a lot better than some other director’s best movies. I remember watching the 2002 Academy Awards telecast and very briefly there was a shot of Lynch standing next to Robert Altman as they were casually talking. It was one of thoseContinue reading “David Lynch Made Avant-Garde Cinema/TV Mainstream”
