‘What Keeps You Alive’ Has A Plot That Is Dead On Arrival
I’ve often thought horror/thriller movies have the best poster art. At one time people used to use originality in all poster art. Look at The Exorcist, Jaws, Back to the Future, or Platoon to name a few. Now it’s just a collection of the big names who are in the cast with the position andContinue reading “‘What Keeps You Alive’ Has A Plot That Is Dead On Arrival”
Blue Whale Makes A Nice Roadside Attraction Along Route 66
The Blue Whale of Catoosa is located along Route 66 east of Catoosa, Okla., a suburb of Tulsa. Built in the early 1970s by local resident Hugh Davis as a gift to his wife, Zelda, who was a fan of whale figurines. Originally just intended for family use, the Davis family welcomed the visitors toContinue reading “Blue Whale Makes A Nice Roadside Attraction Along Route 66”
‘Twin Peaks: The Return’ A Fitting Resolution Or Uneven Continuation?
In the movie Clueless, Alicia Silverstone’s character says, “Searching for a boy in high school is about as useless as finding meaning in a Pauly Shore movie.” David Lynch passed away in January at the age of 78. And it’s almost fitting his swan song was Twin Peaks: The Return. But sometimes it’s useless toContinue reading “‘Twin Peaks: The Return’ A Fitting Resolution Or Uneven Continuation?”
Is ‘King Of The Hill’ Cursed?
Let me start off by saying, I would like to express my condolences to actor the family and friends of actor Jonathan Joss. The actor who was most famously known for voicing John Redcorn on King of the Hill. Another recurring role was as Ken Hotate on Parks and Recreation. Joss was reportedly shot byContinue reading “Is ‘King Of The Hill’ Cursed?”
‘Pee-wee As Himself’ Shows The Complex Life Of Paul Reubens
I remember where I was when I heard the allegations in 1991. My mother and I had just come back from Texas where my father had started attending the Sergeant Major Academy in El Paso. My mother took my brother and I to the eye doctor. He was 15 and I was almost 13. TheContinue reading “‘Pee-wee As Himself’ Shows The Complex Life Of Paul Reubens”
‘Twin Peaks’ Changed TV And Movies
It was 35 years ago when Twin Peaks premiered on TV on ABC and just eight years ago when fans finally got some resolution with Twin Peaks: The Return. I saw some resolution because David Lynch, who passed away earlier this year, never believed in anything finite. I’ve often debated the latter part of BlueContinue reading “‘Twin Peaks’ Changed TV And Movies”
No Sympathy For Predators
In the last few days, the world lost two sexual predators. They went by the names Phil Robertson and Ed Gale. You might remember them as celebrities but they were sexual predators more or less. Robertson, the patriarch of the facade that is Duck Dynasty capitalized off the redneck craze because it was hard forContinue reading “No Sympathy For Predators”
‘The Last Showgirl’ Highlights Pamela Anderson’s Talents
I’ve never been to Las Vega. But I have been to Branson, Mo., which people have described Vegas as “Branson on crack.” Las Vegas, just like Branson, seemed stuck in a state of arrested development. When I was there for the first time over 12 years ago, they were bringing in newer businesses and attractions.Continue reading “‘The Last Showgirl’ Highlights Pamela Anderson’s Talents”
George Wendt’s Dark Side In First ‘House’ & ‘Masters Of Horror’ Episode
On TV, George Wendt was just another character actor when he stepped into the role of Bostonian Norm Peterson, a portly 30-something with a laissez-faire attitude and sardonic wit on Cheers. His line, “It’s a dog-eat-dog world and I’m wearing Milkbone underwear” is one of the best lines ever written not just in TV butContinue reading “George Wendt’s Dark Side In First ‘House’ & ‘Masters Of Horror’ Episode”
