I saw Your Monster at an advanced screening at the Regal Warren Theater in Broken Arrow, Okla. as they have a Monday Mystery Movie every week. For $5, you can see a movie about to be released later that week or month. But they won’t tell you what it is. I was skeptical going in.Continue reading “‘Your Monster’ A Modern Retelling Of Beauty And The Beast”

‘Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark’ Series Remain Some Of The Best
Like most people, I was very disappointed with the 2019 loose adaptation of the book series Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. The three books published over a 10-year period from Oct. 14, 1981 to Sept. 1, 1991 were some of the true terrifying stories for young people. Most of them were retellings ofContinue reading “‘Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark’ Series Remain Some Of The Best”
Mixed Reception For ‘Late Night With The Devil’
David Dastmalchian is one of those actors who has a distinct look that he’s often cast in roles where he plays bad guys or just unhinged characters. His first role was as one of The Joker’s henchmen, who had just been released from Arkham Asylum, during a scene in The Dark Knight. He’s appeared inContinue reading “Mixed Reception For ‘Late Night With The Devil’”
‘Woman Of The Hour’ Has Great Power
Statistically, they say the average person passes by about 36 murderers in their lifetime. You never know what’s going to happen. Years ago, when I was still working at the Wagoner Tribune, I read a police report on a man arrested in nearby Coweta, Okla. that said he had considered abducting a woman near theContinue reading “‘Woman Of The Hour’ Has Great Power”
‘Rebel Ridge’ Good But Falls Short Of Spectacular Action Thriller
A movie like Rebel Ridge has all the makings of a very good movie that could’ve been an incredibly awesome movie. It’s the type of movie that could’ve benefitted from another set of eyes on it in post-production. Jeremy Saulnier is credited as the writer and director…as well as the editor. And at 131 minutes,Continue reading “‘Rebel Ridge’ Good But Falls Short Of Spectacular Action Thriller”
‘Fight Club’ Has 25th Anniversary: How So Many Got It So Wrong
Warning: This post contains spoilers. When Fight Club opened on Oct. 15, 1999, so many critics hated it. But did they get it all wrong? The year 1999 was a great and wonderful year as many directors made many great movies. Even though time has changed against it following the sexual abuse allegations on KevinContinue reading “‘Fight Club’ Has 25th Anniversary: How So Many Got It So Wrong”
Misinformation Station, How Do You Ration?
Ok, the headline above does exactly rhyme but you know what? It doesn’t matter because I saw it’s so. (I mean, I’m from the South. You ought to hear what we’ve done to the English language. And yet they get mad about people speaking Spanish.) That’s basically how things have been for well over 20Continue reading “Misinformation Station, How Do You Ration?”

The Cole Porter Revue was a collaboration between the NSU Opera Workshop and the NSU Jazz Ensemble. They performed popular music mostlyContinue reading “Cole Porter Revue Performed At NSU”
‘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”
