‘A Nightmare On Elm Street’ Turns 40

By the Fall of 1984, the slasher subgenre of horror was at the bottom of the barrel of movies. The critics hated them. Parental groups were trying to get them removed from theaters. And major studios realized they weren’t making the money they once did. Most of the movies were independently produced on the pre-soldContinue reading “‘A Nightmare On Elm Street’ Turns 40”

Trump’s Election Proves There Is No God, Nor Has There Ever Been

If you believe God turned a blind eye to the massacre of young children at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. or Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, but initially saved Donald Trump from an assassination, then you have a God who doesn’t love, but hates and wants people to suffer more. And nowContinue reading “Trump’s Election Proves There Is No God, Nor Has There Ever Been”

‘The First Omen’ Does A Devil Of A Good Job As A Prequel

For the most part, most prequels usually never do work. We already know what’s going to happen so part of the thrill is gone. However, sometimes, it’s not just a quick cash grab. After the success of his book, Lonesome Dove, and the phenomenal miniseries, Larry McMurtry wrote and published Dead Man’s Walk showing theContinue reading “‘The First Omen’ Does A Devil Of A Good Job As A Prequel”

Hank Hill Wouldn’t Support Trump I Tell You What, As That Man Ain’t Right

When King of the Hill premiered in January 1997, Bill Clinton was about to be sworn in for a second time as President of the United States. The show made some jokes about Clinton, with Hank Hill locking his truck doors, when he sees he’s entered Hope, Ark., the former President’s birthplace. However, I don’tContinue reading “Hank Hill Wouldn’t Support Trump I Tell You What, As That Man Ain’t Right”

Will This Nightmare Be Over Or Is It Just Beginning?

At this point, there’s absolutely nothing Donald Trump can say to make people deter their decisions. Just this past week, he said he wanted Liz Cheney to face a firing squad, made sexually suggestive gestures and movements on a microphone and called the workers behind the stage “stupid” repeatedly. This would be the type ofContinue reading “Will This Nightmare Be Over Or Is It Just Beginning?”

‘Brothers’ Is A ‘Twins’ Clone

Several years ago, I was discussing with some friends how Hollywood is remaking/rebooting movies or doing too many legacy sequels. I told them I could imagine a sequel or remake of Twins but this time it’s Peter Dinklage and Dwayne Johnson. I’m sure the idea went around the Hollywood executives. But the talks fizzled. However,Continue reading “‘Brothers’ Is A ‘Twins’ Clone”

Halloween Fun At NSU Recital

Halloween may be over by the music department at Northeastern State University. Pianist Farren Mayfield and several of the faculty/staff and students entertained people with ghoulish tunes at the Center for Performing Arts at the Tahlequah campus. Mayfield performed works from Ludwig van Beethoven, Claude Debussy and Franz Schubert as well as contemporary composers suchContinue reading “Halloween Fun At NSU Recital”

‘Homecoming’ Satire About Zombies Still Bites Hard Nearly 20 Years Later

Masters of Horror was an admirable attempt as an anthology by filmmaker Mick Garris to have most of the famous horror movie directors each episode. Directors such as Stuart Gordon, John Carpenter, John Landis, Dario Argento and Garris himself, took at stab at contributing to the anthology. Unfortunately, it only lasted two seasons from Oct.Continue reading “‘Homecoming’ Satire About Zombies Still Bites Hard Nearly 20 Years Later”
