‘Caddyshack’ Is Still Alright
While the Masters have come and gone in Augusta, Ga. as of this posting with the winner being Scott Scheffler, it’s hard to watch Caddyshack and even think about the Masters the same way again. The winner in my mind will also be Carl Spackler (Bill Murray), the grizzled but not too bright assistant greenskeeperContinue reading “‘Caddyshack’ Is Still Alright”

‘Color Of Night’ Set The Tone For Bruce Willis’ Career
With the recent announcement that Bruce Willis has been diagnosed with aphasia, he is set to retire.

The Oscars (And Movies) Are Stuck In Arrested Development
Why do people hate the Oscars? Can someone identify all the gunmen aiming their weapons at people’s heads forcing them to watch the Oscars? The reason people don’t watch the Oscars anymore is because a lot of Millennials and Gen Xers don’t have access to cable/satellite TV.

‘Ghostbusters’ Franchise Still Has Life In It Which Is Both Good And Bad
Okay, I’m going to be brutally honest and frank, the 2016 Ghostbusters was awful. But not for the reason that it changed them to all women. The fact that they even tried to reboot it at all was a huge mistake. There’s some things you just don’t mess with. I was on board and willingContinue reading “‘Ghostbusters’ Franchise Still Has Life In It Which Is Both Good And Bad”
‘House Of Gucci’ Needs Major Renovations
Lady Gaga’s performance as Patrizia Reggiani is the thread that keeps a movie like House of Gucci watchable which at two and a half hours lags a lot before it finally falls under its own shoddy building materials. If there is one good thing you can say about it, at least the streaming services andContinue reading “‘House Of Gucci’ Needs Major Renovations”
‘Basic Instinct’ Examines America’s Love/Hate With Sex And Violence
Before Basic Instinct hit theaters on this day, March 20, 1992, it was already engulfed in so much controversy, it more or less led to the movie’s success. The plot seemed typical.

‘Miracle Mile’ Presents A Nightmare View Of Imminent Nuclear War
Someone one going into Miracle Mile blindly might at first think it’s a simple quirky boy-meets-girl love story movie. There is absolutely nothing within the first 20 minutes that foreshadows the thrilling majority of the movie.
