‘That ’90s Show’ Finds Its Footing

Usually, a show like That ’90’s Show would have continuous cameos from the cast of That ’70s Show, but the second season has managed to put the nostalgia behind it somewhat. Laura Prepon pops up in the first episode as Donna Foreman and Tommy Chong is a welcome sight as Leo Chingkwake. However, the showContinue reading “‘That ’90s Show’ Finds Its Footing”

‘New Norm’ Shows The Right Can’t Be Intentionally Funny Even If They Tried

One of the great things about All in the Family and its spin-off The Jeffersons was that Archie Bunker and George Jefferson might have been biased, prejudiced people, but the show used the absurdity of bigotry and bias against them. After a while, both Archie and George learned how to tolerate and even feel compassionContinue reading “‘New Norm’ Shows The Right Can’t Be Intentionally Funny Even If They Tried”

‘Axel F’ Is True Return To Form For Beverly Hills Cop Franchise

A movie like Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F shouldn’t be as good as it is. It’s not great. There are problems here and there. But for a franchise that was almost surely dead 30 years ago, the fourth entry could’ve easily been a dud. It’s been in development Hell since the late 1990s and wentContinue reading “‘Axel F’ Is True Return To Form For Beverly Hills Cop Franchise”

‘Blown Away’ At 30 Shows It Can Still Ignite Thrills And Suspense

Blown Away should’ve been a surefire summer blockbuster. It stars Jeff Bridges who is always good to watch on screen as well as Tommy Lee Jones, mere months after picking up an Oscar for his role in The Fugitive. It reportedly had one of the biggest practical effects explosions ever on screen that would makeContinue reading “‘Blown Away’ At 30 Shows It Can Still Ignite Thrills And Suspense”

Have A Fun And Safe Fourth Of July And Remember Why We Celebrate It

There’s an old proverb that goes, “Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.” I don’t want to get into a political post on July 4, but it is a day where politics should be at the forefront. The Supreme Court has spoken in regards that former President Donald J. Trump has basically absolute power as longContinue reading “Have A Fun And Safe Fourth Of July And Remember Why We Celebrate It”

Rest In Peace To Two Great Movie/TV Veterans

For the most part, I can’t tell if famed screenwriter Robert Towne and prolific character actor Bill Cobbs ever worked on the same movie or TV show throughout their decades in the business. Both of them didn’t really get started until their 30s at a time in which many people would’ve given up on theirContinue reading “Rest In Peace To Two Great Movie/TV Veterans”

‘Godzilla X. King’ Feels More Like Planet Of The Apes Rejected Idea

For the past 10 years, the Godzilla/Kong movies had a nice flow to them. The good news was there was only four to them and they got straight to the point. The first one was ok, but it was setting everything up. Then with Kong: Skull Island, the pace sped up. Godzilla King of MonstersContinue reading “‘Godzilla X. King’ Feels More Like Planet Of The Apes Rejected Idea”

It’s Past Time To Show Trump And The GOP There Are Real Consequences

I’ll be blunt. I’m getting sick and tired of the “Both political parties are bad!” people. Maybe 35-40 years ago that might have been a good way to justify your reasoning for not voting. I mean, in 1984, you had that sumbitch Reagan against Walter Mondale. Then you had Daddy Bush versus Michael Dukakis inContinue reading “It’s Past Time To Show Trump And The GOP There Are Real Consequences”
