Colorado’s Trump Ballot Ban Can Be The Spark For Other States

On Tuesday, Dec. 19, the Colorado State Supreme Court voted in a 4-3 ruling to disqualify Donald J. Trump from the ballot citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. It’s likely to go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court first thing after the new year. But at the same time, California is wrestlingContinue reading “Colorado’s Trump Ballot Ban Can Be The Spark For Other States”

The Absolute Worst, Most Despicable Christmas Commercial Ever

Christmas is a time where many advertisements and commercials air all over the spectrum. With streaming and people paying more so they don’t have to see commercials anymore, they’re not as popular.. I don’t know why Starz thought showing that same BMF commercial with Russell Hornsby playing a father berating his father for “looking proper”Continue reading “The Absolute Worst, Most Despicable Christmas Commercial Ever”

‘Mickey’s Christmas Carol’ Turns 40

Disney has done two feature movies of the Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol. One featured the Muppets and Sir Michael Caine and it’s loved by many. The other featured Jim Carrey as Ebeneezer Scrooge and directed by Robert Zemeckis during his three-dimensional digital animation phase and is considered by some to be too scaryContinue reading “‘Mickey’s Christmas Carol’ Turns 40”

‘Joy Ride’ Fun, Crude Adventure

A movie like Joy Ride probably wouldn’t have been possible a decade ago. It would have been heavily re-written by the production company to include Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig and probably Maya Rudolph. I can almost see some Hollywood bigwig looking at the script and saying, “Let’s make it a sequel to Bridesmaid.” The beautyContinue reading “‘Joy Ride’ Fun, Crude Adventure”

No One Wants To Be Dictator For A Day

“He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting.” This was the comment spoken back during early January 2019 by Crystal Minton and it sums up 100 percent why spome people had voted for Donald Trump and still continue to support him. Minton was working as a prison employee in Florida during the governmentContinue reading “No One Wants To Be Dictator For A Day”

‘Good Burger 2’ Feels Like A Leftover That Stayed In The Fridge Too Long

I was never a big fan of Good Burger. Nor was I really a fan of All That, of which the 1997 movie was based on a skit. By 1994, Nickelodeon had changed from airing a wide range of American, Canadian and British programming to finding its own niche with Millennials. All That was anContinue reading “‘Good Burger 2’ Feels Like A Leftover That Stayed In The Fridge Too Long”

Oh! ‘Krampus’ Might Be Frightful, But Overall It’s Not Too Delightful

Kramus has been a subject of Austro-Bavarian folklore for as far back as the 6th Century. So, it’s a wonder why it took over a 100 years of motion pictures for the creature who punishes naughty children to get its own movie. Sometimes the first of anything isn’t always the best. The Finnish movie RareContinue reading “Oh! ‘Krampus’ Might Be Frightful, But Overall It’s Not Too Delightful”

Yes, Virgnia, There Is An Awkward ‘Alf’ Christmas Special

In the late 1980s, Alf was one of the most popular TV shows of the time. Now, that we know what it was like on set, it’s hard to watch those old episodes without realizing everyone probably fucking hated it. Even Jerry Stahl, one of the writers, was shooting up heroin on a daily basis.Continue reading “Yes, Virgnia, There Is An Awkward ‘Alf’ Christmas Special”

‘The Nun II’ Doesn’t Have A Prayer

The Nun II made over a quarter of a billion dollars at the box office worldwide. I’m almost wondering if there was a popular trailer showing at the beginning that wasn’t available onine that people went to see and then left. It’s reported people did the same thing for Scary Movie 2 when it hadContinue reading “‘The Nun II’ Doesn’t Have A Prayer”

‘Oppenheimer’ Is One Of The Year’s Best

Oppenheimer is a three-hour biolographical techno-thriller that has grossed over $950 million worldwide. If there is any testament to how audiences would be willing to sit through a movie that has most of its actions in rooms where characters are talking mostly about science, then there is hope for the rest of American cinema. WhileContinue reading “‘Oppenheimer’ Is One Of The Year’s Best”
