‘That ’90s Show’ Is Still Fly

That ’90s Show has managed to move pass a legacy show and get its own touch. But it’s managed to do more than just be a reunion series like Murphy Brown or Roseanne. It’s nothing new. In the 1980s with the evolution of first-run syndication, TV production companies brought back the Beaver, the gang fromContinue reading “‘That ’90s Show’ Is Still Fly”

Stop Calling Trump And Vance Weird Because They’re A Lot Worse

I hate to come off as a liberal version of James J. Kilpatrick, but we need to stop calling Donald Trump and J.D. Vance “weird.” I say that, because they’re a lot worse than “weird.” For someone like Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who is the Democratic running mate for Vice-President Kamala Harris, “weird” is termContinue reading “Stop Calling Trump And Vance Weird Because They’re A Lot Worse”

Please Help If You Can As A Birthday Gift To Me

It’s my birthday today. I’m 46. But I feel 64. I still think I can pass for 39. But the sweet woman at the supermarket I shop at reminded me of a 5 percent discount for seniors over 60 when I was there on Tuesday. What’s that old song verse? “Back to life, back toContinue reading “Please Help If You Can As A Birthday Gift To Me”

Fourth ‘Friday The 13th’ Is Too Entertaining For Its Own Good

By the time Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter hit theaters on April 13, 1984, the whole slasher horror craze was entering its great downfall.

‘The Union’ Falls Apart

Now, in his early 50s, Mark Wahlberg seems to take great enthusiasm in being the most Bostonian he can. I don’t mind that he talks about his religion. But most of his movie roles for the past decade seem to be playing blue-collar types. And yes, he may have that look where all he needsContinue reading “‘The Union’ Falls Apart”

Please Remember Those Who Died On This Date Back In 2001

It’s hard to believe but it’s been 23 years since the 9/11 attacks on America. I had just graduated from college the prior spring. College graduates this year weren’t even alive on that date. However, I do hope they are all registered voters. I don’t mean to get too political, but the attacks were politicallyContinue reading “Please Remember Those Who Died On This Date Back In 2001”

James Earl Jones Had An Impressive, Most Impressive Life And Career

I’ve always bee fascinated with actors like James Earl Jones and their difficult pasts. As a child in rural Mississippi, he had a terrible stutter.

Are Conservative Christian Movies Intentionally Bad As A Way To Show A “Liberal Bias” Among Hollywood?

In August, Deadpool and Wolverine became the highest grossing R-rated movie ever. It beat a 20-year record that had been established by The Passion of the Christ. The movie was only the third feature directed by Mel Gibson and reportedly funding were from Gibson and his Icon Productions company.

‘Imaginary’ Lacks Much Imagination

In his autobiography, Richard “Cheech” Marin called Hollywood a very incestuous industry and by that he meant that there was a lot of connections and you can get involved in a project through someone who knows someone. But there’s also knowledge of projects in the trades and throughout the industries. A studio executive will takeContinue reading “‘Imaginary’ Lacks Much Imagination”

‘Sasquatch Sunset’ Dims Early

There’s no way you can effectively, logically or rationally critique a movie like Sasquatch Sunset. It doesn’t know if it intends to be an absurdist comedy or a dramedy after survival by showing four sasquatch beings trying to make it day to day in the northern California wilderness. The movie features Jesse Eisenberg as oneContinue reading “‘Sasquatch Sunset’ Dims Early”
