‘Roofman’ Is A Split-Level Story That Never Feels Cozy For A Movie

At one time on their TV show in the late 1990s, critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert commented some “based on a true story” movies work better sometimes as just a magazine story.   I agree. A movie like Roofman is a perfect testament to that.   At two hours with credits including real testimonials from his victims, this is mostly a movie that mightContinue reading “‘Roofman’ Is A Split-Level Story That Never Feels Cozy For A Movie”

Happy 100 Birthday Dick Van Dyke!

I find it fascinating that today Dick Van Dyke celebrates his 100th birthday with none other than Taylor Swift. While it is common for celebrities to have the same birthday, both Van Dyke and Swift have done so much for their respective mediums.   Van Dyke was already a legend back in 1989 when Swift was born, evenContinue reading “Happy 100 Birthday Dick Van Dyke!”

‘Cobra’ Has Bite To Slithering Story

From his start as a struggling actor in Roger Corman-produced cheap exploitation movies to an Oscar winning movie in a matter of a few years is the type of Cinderella story that most actors dream of.   Yet, the problem with Sylvester Stallone has always been his inflated ego. Many times in his career spanning back to the late 1960s when he appeared as extrasContinue reading “‘Cobra’ Has Bite To Slithering Story”

It just so happens this year it was a couple of weeks before Christmas so I couldn’t resist. MerryContinue reading “Merry Christmas! Sh!tter Was Full!”

‘Nobody 2’ Not Just Electric Boogaloo

When Nobody was released four years ago, it seemed to be a breath of fresh air people needed after a year of the Covid-19 pandemic. It was just a silly action thriller starring Bob Odenkirk as Hutch Mansell a former government assassin turned everyday man trying to live a “normal life” in the suburbs.   Yet the humdrum monotony has put a strainContinue reading “‘Nobody 2’ Not Just Electric Boogaloo”

A Day That Will Live In Infamy

On this day, let’s remember the 2,403 Americans who lost their lives during the Pearl Harbor attacks by the Japanese military forces on Dec. 6, 1941.   Incidentally, both today and that “Day that will live in infamy” are both on Sundays. Believe it or not, the first wave of the attack was the sinking of a Japanese midget boatContinue reading “A Day That Will Live In Infamy”
