‘BlackBerry’ Does More Than Just Phoning It In

A movie like BlackBerry might just be the perfect example of why some businesses fail, especially those in the tech industry – lack of communication. This is ironic because the purpose of a BlackBerry was an attempt to make communications easier as the 21st Century was looming. In the 1990s, Mike Lazardis (Jay Baruchel) andContinue reading “‘BlackBerry’ Does More Than Just Phoning It In”

‘Glory’ A Bit Flawed 35 Years Later But Still Moving And Important

Growing up in the South, there was so much Civil War Lost Cause foolishness pushed on us that nowadays, many parents would be opposed to their kids taking a field trip to a war memorial. The Reconstruction Era has been horribly retold to others as a period of failure when instead it was actually aContinue reading “‘Glory’ A Bit Flawed 35 Years Later But Still Moving And Important”

More than 100 people from the Tahlequah community of all ages were present Saturday night for a candlelight vigil in memory of Nex Benedict, as well as to bring awareness to the LGBTQIA community.

Sofia Vergara Glows In Netflix’s Uneven ‘Griselda’ Series

Sofia Vergara rose from obscurity as a character actor to a major comedic actress in the sitcom Modern Family where her role could’ve been a one-joke trope as the younger wife to Ed O’Neill’s character. But as the show became a big hit through the 2010s, Vergara saw her career rise. And Vergara was nominatedContinue reading “Sofia Vergara Glows In Netflix’s Uneven ‘Griselda’ Series”

‘Blue Velvet’ Is Chilling Look At Horrors Of Small-Town America We Ignore

With the second part of Dune scheduled for theaters on March 1, it’s hard to believe that someone thought an avant-garde director like David Lynch could make a worthy movie that would appeal to the masses and loyal fans. Denis Villeneuve has more of the abilities to do this. The failure of the movie promptedContinue reading “‘Blue Velvet’ Is Chilling Look At Horrors Of Small-Town America We Ignore”

‘Expend4bles’ Is Detestable

Almost 10 years after The Expendables 3 seemed to kinda wrap the franchise up by adding some new characters, it seemed we had seen the last of them. And the third movie had one hell of a cast that there was no way to top it even though it was flawed. It might have workedContinue reading “‘Expend4bles’ Is Detestable”

We Need To Talk About The Bullying And Death of Nex Benedict

I didn’t know Nex Benedict. As a matter of fact, I don’t know a single person who goes to Owasso High School or associated with them. Owasso is a suburb north of Tulsa. In the past few weeks, an incident has thrust them into the national spotlight. Nex, 16, was a nonbinary student at theContinue reading “We Need To Talk About The Bullying And Death of Nex Benedict”

‘Talk To Me’ Gets Muddled

Talk To Me might have worked better as part of an horror anthology. There are some creepy moments and surprises that come up on you. Unfortunately, the twin brothers, Danny and Michael Philippou, also known as RackaRacka, can’t maintain the momentum for a full feature movie. Set in the South Australia capital of Adelaide, itContinue reading “‘Talk To Me’ Gets Muddled”

‘Office Space’ At 25: It’s Done More Than Just The Bare Minimum

Office Space is one of those movies whose target audience was a bit too young to fully understand or appreciate the context. Most Gen Xers and Millennials were still in school or college. There might have been some older Gen Xers in the early stages of office work. But the late 1990s weren’t no whereContinue reading “‘Office Space’ At 25: It’s Done More Than Just The Bare Minimum”

A Republic If We Can Keep It

I drank a lot in my early 20s. I wasn’t an alcoholic, but I was still drunk at my college graduation which was at 9-10 a.m. on a rather hot Saturday morning in early May 2001 at Georgia Southern University about an hour drive out of Savannah. I moved away as I got older becauseContinue reading “A Republic If We Can Keep It”
