The Marvels is a very complicated movie. Even at 105 minutes with credit, it seems that it lags at some scenes but rushes to get other things over once it’s starting to get interesting. I feel the movie was the result of many issues Disney and Marvel Studios had with the big disappointment that wasContinue reading “‘The Marvels’ Doesn’t Deserve The Hate It’s Been Given”

Oscar’s Most Cringeworthy Moments
As glamourous and star-studded the Academy Awards can be, it doesn’t mean every year, things go off without a hitch. Part of the problem is that a producer has a radical idea that backfires in the worse way. Famed producer Allan Carr basically sunk his career 35 years ago when he opened with an actressContinue reading “Oscar’s Most Cringeworthy Moments”
‘Oppenheimer’ To Win Big, I Predict
With the Oscars being held on Sunday, March 10, I predict Oppenheimer to be the big movie to win. I’ve been watching the Oscars since the late 1980s and you begin to notice a few things. A lot of times, it’s a combination of excellence, critical favorites, popularity, a touch of how movies performed atContinue reading “‘Oppenheimer’ To Win Big, I Predict”
’10 Cloverfield Lane’ Isn’t Your Average Home Sweet Home
When 10 Cloverfield Lane opened in theaters in early March, the buzz had been around for a couple of months since the trailer dropped in early January 2016. How did this movie fly under the radar? John Goodman and Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who was rising along with John Gallager Jr., were in the cast. ItContinue reading “’10 Cloverfield Lane’ Isn’t Your Average Home Sweet Home”
Happy International Women’s Day
I want to wish each and everyone of you a Happy International Women’s Day. I know my politics may be left-leaning but I’ve discovered that women of all ages have a very diverse way of thinking. My mother is mostly political conservative but some would argue she was a liberal feminist if they spoke toContinue reading “Happy International Women’s Day”
The Political Rematch We Didn’t Want
Well, Nikki Haley has officially dropped out. That leaves Donald J. Trump as the only Republican candidate for President this election year. And that may be more damaging that he and the rest of the party don’t realize, for one simple reason – not a lot of people like him, especially in his own party.Continue reading “The Political Rematch We Didn’t Want”
‘One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest’ Is When The Oscars Got It Right
A movie like One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest could’ve been a disaster. It spent years in development hell with Kirk Douglas originally wanting to play the main role before realizing he was too old. Other actors, such as Burt Reynolds, were considered before Jack Nicholson was hired. He, himself, had almost given up totallyContinue reading “‘One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest’ Is When The Oscars Got It Right”
‘Reversal Of Fortune’ Is Jeremy Irons’ Masterpiece Of Acting
If you ever want to be an actor, my advice is to get a copy (digital or physical) of Reversal of Fortune and study it. Jeremy Irons was only in his early 40s when he played Claus von Bulow (who was about 15 years older) but you wouldn’t have guessed it. With a little bitContinue reading “‘Reversal Of Fortune’ Is Jeremy Irons’ Masterpiece Of Acting”
‘Priscilla’ Shows Love Isn’t Tender
Elvis Presley will always be remembered as the greatest entertainment icon of all time. Mainly because as John Lennon said, there was no one before him. He pretty much set the bar. He was the gold standard. The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Beyonce, Taylor Swift. Hell, even Frank Sinatra couldn’t measure up to Elvis. There wasContinue reading “‘Priscilla’ Shows Love Isn’t Tender”
Leap-Year Lizards!
It almost makes sense the same week the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear the argument that former President Donald J. Trump has immunity from prosecution is the 33rd anniversary of the infamous beating and arrest of Rodney King by four Los Angeles Police officers. The 1991 incident which occurred this day, March 3, wasContinue reading “Leap-Year Lizards!”
