‘Return To Oz’ Presented A Wickedly Different View 40 Years Ago

By the mid-1980s, top brass at Disney was faced with a dilemma.

‘Good Boy’ Is A Good Movie

A movie like Good Boy asks you to put yourself in the mind of a dog. And that might be why so many people haven’t and won’t like the movie.   The buzz around the movie is that it’s told from the perspective of Indy, a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.

‘The Naked Gun’ Hits The Target

Parody movies haven’t been too popular for well over a decade. And you can thank the horrible filmmaking duo of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer for that. When Scary Movie became a big hit during the summer of 2000, they had the clout as the co-writers of a hit movie.  Except there was one problem. They were co-writers in credit only. According to Marlon Wayans, who co-starredContinue reading “‘The Naked Gun’ Hits The Target”

Peace And Love To The Families Of Cleto Escobedo III And Jimmy Kimmel

I know a lot of people probably don’t like Jimmy Kimmel, but you have to show some empathy for the family of Cleto Escobedo III.   The musician was the long-time band leader of Jimmy Kimmel Live! On Nov. 11, he reportedly passed away following a long-term illness. On the show on that night, Kimmel fought back tears with no luck as he recalled the life of Escobedo,Continue reading “Peace And Love To The Families Of Cleto Escobedo III And Jimmy Kimmel”
