Long Live The Queen Of Rock

I was saddened to hear about the passing of Tina Turner this last week. She was known for her electifying on-stage performance as well as a singing voice that no one could ever duplicate. But for many other people, she was known as Aunty Entity the ruthless leader of Bartertown in the barren wasteland of…

‘Money Shot’ Blows A Good Topic

I want to make a documentary about documentary filmmakers and their desire to always focus on the bad part of the porn industry. With the exception of Inside Deep Throat and the Pornucopia series that was on HBO back in the mid-2000s, there’s often a Puritan conservative slant against the industry. Money Shot: The PornHub…

Three Cheers For ‘The Man With Two Brains’

The Mad Scientest Trope has been around since Mary Shelly penned Frankenstein. Robert Louis Stevenson also explored the trope with The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. H.G.

‘The Fabelmans’ Deconstructs A Myth With Subtle, Meaningful Honesty

It’s called a…

‘Waco: The Aftermath’ Is Too Jumbled To Make A True Impact

Waco: The Aftermath is a five-part series that is on Showtime that feels like it was rushed into production to air in time for the 30th anniversary of the day the Branch Davidian seige when the compound burned down with many people inside. The question has remained since then what really happened. A three-part docuseries…

‘Hunt’ Misfires On Every Level

I’ve not watched Squid Game but I don’t need to. I already know the plot. Set in a dystopian future yadda-yadda-yadda people play literal life-or-death games and yadda-yadda-yadda one by one they all die. It’s been done to death (pardon the pun). The same can be said for the 2022 Hunt, a South Korea espionage…
