Christmas Shows Were Never The Same

Most TV shows revolving around Christmas had to have some time of goody-goody golly-jolly theme to them. Even The Twilight Zone and Amazing Stories had holiday-themed episodes but they still tried to tell a story with a moral to them. And by the time the 1980s rolled around, most Christmas-themed shows were hokey with storiesContinue reading “Christmas Shows Were Never The Same”

‘Christmas Evil’ A Noteworthy Entry For The Killer Santa Horror Subgenre

There’s just something about Santa Claus that is so creepy when you look at it. He’s an omniscient omniprescient person who is immortal and is able to travel around the world like The Flash (or Quicksilver for the MCU fans) and deliver presents. Popularized in A Visit from St. Nicholas by Clement Clark Moore, he’sContinue reading “‘Christmas Evil’ A Noteworthy Entry For The Killer Santa Horror Subgenre”

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”
