‘Candy Cane Lane’ Wrecks Good Idea On Overlong, CGI Path Of Mediocrity

Going into Candy Cane Lane, I wasn’t expecting a great movie. At one time, Eddie Murphy would’ve strayed far away from a movie like this. But I’m sure he was offered a huge paycheck and the opportunity to film a Christmas movie in Southern California so he doesn’t have to worry about getting cold. ButContinue reading “‘Candy Cane Lane’ Wrecks Good Idea On Overlong, CGI Path Of Mediocrity”

Unwrapping ‘Nightmare Before Christmas

The Nightmare Before Christmas might just well be one of the most disappointing movies ever made. How could something with a great concept and stunning visuals be so incredibly dull and problematic?

NCAA Says FU To FSU For CFP

There’s a saying I once heard in the movie Vanilla Sky but I’m sure it was taken from somehwere else. “What is the answer to 99 of the most asked 100 questions? Money.” To add to that, I’d say the remaining one question is God. I’m sure on Dec. 3, many Florida State University students,Continue reading “NCAA Says FU To FSU For CFP”

Eighteen years is a long time. While I commend former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor for stepping down in her mid-70’s and spending those years having a private life, it still raises a lot of questions. In the summer of 2005, everyone was certain that Chief Justice William Rehnquist wasn’t going to be onContinue reading “Was Sandra Day O’Connor Forced Out?”

Henry Kissinger, How We’re (Not) Missing Yer

The question people usually ask if the ends justify the means. They present a scenario over whether it’s worth killing 100 people if it saves 100,000 people.
