‘It’s A Wonderful Knife’ Slices Just Right

During the last 80 years, It’s a Wonderful Life went from being a box-office disaster to one of the most cherished Christmas holiday movies. The final collaboration between director Frank Capra and actor Jimmy Stewart didn’t really sit well with audiences in the post-WWII era. The movie barely broke even at the box office andContinue reading “‘It’s A Wonderful Knife’ Slices Just Right”

‘V/H/S/85’ Is Not Fine

The V/H/S film anthologies seemed like a great idea over a decade ago when the first two movies were released. Directors like Adam Wingard and the group known as Radio Silence were able to get their feet wet and make a name for themselves as Wingard has made Godzilla vs. Kong and Radio Silence didContinue reading “‘V/H/S/85’ Is Not Fine”

‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre” Turns 50

Let me start off by saying, I’m not a really big fan of the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. By the time I saw it, I was in my teens and so much had been discussed of movie for over 20 years that I was expecting something bigger.

There are an estimated 1.9 million people currently incarcerated in jails, prisons or involuntary commitments to mental hospitals. And over half a million people are located in local jails. While that might seem like a small number in comparison with the entire population of the country, it is still a higher number per capita. DespiteContinue reading “‘Jailbird: Love On The Run’ Soars Over Basic True-Crime Documentary”

‘Private Diary Of Lyle Menendez’ The Mind Of A Sociopath Or A Manchild?

Now that the Menendez Brothers have been thrusted into the spotlight once again with the show Monsters on Netflix, there’s a brief mention of this book. And anyone who is a true-crime buff will like to read or more importantly listen to the audiobook. But anyone else will junk it as garbage. I admit, LyleContinue reading “‘Private Diary Of Lyle Menendez’ The Mind Of A Sociopath Or A Manchild?”

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ A Perfect Satire Of Superhero Movies

Warning: This post contains spoilers. Sorry, this movie has been out for a month and a half and grossed a shitload of money, so if you were wanting to see it, you’d seen it already.
