‘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”

Martin Mull’s Dry Humor Entertained Millions For Decades

With a name like Martin Mull, you’re either going to be an ancillary comic-book villain’s sidekick or a character actor/comic with a dry, sharp wit and delivery. It’s a good thing, he chose the latter. The word “mull” is something that you ponder over with great thought. You don’t jump at a decision.

Original ‘Hellraiser’ Still Has Such Sights To Show You

Note: This is a post that focuses on horrors/thrillers made with a connection to the LGBTQIA community. “I have seen the future of horror and his name is Clive Barker.” Stephen King quoted this praising Barker’s Book of Blood. This is funny because there really is only five years separating the two famous writers butContinue reading “Original ‘Hellraiser’ Still Has Such Sights To Show You”

‘Remembering Gene Wilder’ Has Flaws But Unforgettable For His Fans

I think what made Gene Wilder so popular with a lot of young people especially with Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was how there was a childish quality about him. There was a gullible niavete early in his career that made him likeable and even empathetic even though he wasn’t a Hollywood leading manContinue reading “‘Remembering Gene Wilder’ Has Flaws But Unforgettable For His Fans”

‘Brats’ Unpacks The Real Story

The ironic thing of the Brat Pack moniker that sprung up coined by writer David Plum of New York Magazine was that the actors it referred to were just thrust together into a handful of movies in the mid-1980s, but they weren’t very close. On top of that, it was the beginning of the endContinue reading “‘Brats’ Unpacks The Real Story”

Twenty Years Later, ‘Napoleon Dynamite’ Still A Dud

For the 25th anniversary of Airplane!, the team of Jerry Zucker-Jim Abrams-David Zucker (ZAZ) were doing an into to the deleted scenes, which there weren’t many of. Their reasoning was simple, “There’s nothing funny on the cutting room floor.” A movie like Napoleon Dynamite would be 45 seconds long if the filmmakers held true toContinue reading “Twenty Years Later, ‘Napoleon Dynamite’ Still A Dud”

Saying A Final Goodbye To The “Say Hey Kid” Willie Mays

When it comes to examining the great African-American baseball players of yesteryear, they all stand out. Josh Gibson may have been the best home-run hitter. Leroy Robert “Satchel” Paige may have been the best pitcher. And Jackie Robinson may have been the first to play in the professional leagues opening the doors for others byContinue reading “Saying A Final Goodbye To The “Say Hey Kid” Willie Mays”
