This past week, the production of the TV show Tulsa King, which is filming in Georgia instead of Oklahoma, has faced allegations that its star Sylvester Stallone and director Craig Zisk were upset over the appearance of the background extras. Reportedly, they didn’t like that one actor was using a cane. And Stallone has beenContinue reading “‘Tulsa King’ Allegations Represent A Universal Workplace Issue”

O.J.’s Legacy Will Forever Create Debate
It was almost 30 years ago when I was getting ready one morning to go to the Driver’s Ed summer school. It was the second day of the two-week course and I was sitting in the living room of the house I grew up in when I glanced over and saw a copy of theContinue reading “O.J.’s Legacy Will Forever Create Debate”
‘Sleepwalkers’ Is The Stuff Lucid Dreams Are Made Of
A movie like Sleepwalkers was advertised as the first movie Stephen King had written for the movies that wasn’t based on a previous body of work. And it shows why King is better at writing novels than he is at writing scripts. I don’t know what it is but his scripts aren’t the best. I’mContinue reading “‘Sleepwalkers’ Is The Stuff Lucid Dreams Are Made Of”
‘The Matrix’ At 25: How It Changed Sci-Fi And Action Movies
T.S. Elliott famously stated “Good writers borrow; great writers steal.” And Aaron Sorkin also updated this by stating “Good writers borrow from other writers. Great writers steal from them outright.” The first I ever heard of The Matrix was during the 1999 Super Bowl where the images of Keanu Reeves bending over backwards as bulletsContinue reading “‘The Matrix’ At 25: How It Changed Sci-Fi And Action Movies”
‘Making It So’ Is Amazing
Without a doubt, Sir Patrick Stewart, at 83, has become one of those actors whose mere presence in a TV show or movie is worth the price of admission. He also has a commanding voice that along with actors like Morgan Freeman, Sam Elliott, and James Earle Jones is so distinct that you could listenContinue reading “‘Making It So’ Is Amazing”
‘The Last Repair Shop’ Is A Perfect Tune-Up For Music Lovers
I went into The Last Repair Shop expecting something different. As a person who performed in the concert and marching bands through middle school and high school, I support anything that supports the arts. But the short documentary directed by Ben Proudfoot and Kris Bowers takes a different angle by focusing on the Los AngelesContinue reading “‘The Last Repair Shop’ Is A Perfect Tune-Up For Music Lovers”
‘Butcher’s Crossings’ Is Buffaloed
A movie like Butcher’s Crossings wants to bring depth to the western subgenre. But it’s basically Waiting for Godot mixed with The Searchers. The bison hunt sequence during Dances With Wolves is one of the most thrilling scenes ever filmed. And it was done with no CGI and great camera work and editing. There areContinue reading “‘Butcher’s Crossings’ Is Buffaloed”

Rest In Peace, Joe Flaherty, A Great Comic And Scene Stealer
Joe Flaherty was one of those comics and actors who didn’t look like he should be a comic or actor. He had originally served in the United States Air Force before focuses on dramatic theatre. Maybe that was why he was so easy to be cast in numerous movies of versatility. He could flash thatContinue reading “Rest In Peace, Joe Flaherty, A Great Comic And Scene Stealer”
The Three Best Words That Best Describe ‘The Mean One’ Are As Follows, And I Quote: Stink, Stank Stunk!
A movie like The Mean One could have been fun in a so intentionally bad way it’s actually enjoyable. I think of the 1990s slasher horror Jack Frost that was so absurd in its delivery, you can watch it for its sloppiness and over-the-top production. However, The Mean One tries and fails on many levelsContinue reading “The Three Best Words That Best Describe ‘The Mean One’ Are As Follows, And I Quote: Stink, Stank Stunk!”
