‘Greatest Beer Run Ever’ Is Skunked
I think it was when Siskel & Ebert were reviewing the movie Buddy in which Rene Russo played real-life Gertrude Lintz who raised a gorilla from a baby. They said that some stories are better to read about in a magazine or book than they are to see in a movie. The Greatest Beer RunContinue reading “‘Greatest Beer Run Ever’ Is Skunked”
How Toby Keith Ruined Country-Western Music
I know we’re not supposed to speak ill of the dead but someone like Toby Keith basically brought it upon himself. I never cared for country-western music. I watched Hee Haw and my grandfather and uncle both played in bands and enjoyed the music. But it never was something I really liked. However, the greatsContinue reading “How Toby Keith Ruined Country-Western Music”

‘Blazing Saddles’ Turns 50
My aunt first told me about Blazing Saddles sometime in the 1980s but all she mentioned was the famous fart scene.

All Should’ve ‘Ghosted’ This Movie
Ghosted could’ve been called Casserole or Hodgepodge. It’s a collection of other movies all rolled into one. It takes elements of True Lies, Romancing the Stone, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Keeping Up With the Jones, Knight and Day, and man more, but what it lacks is what made those movies at least half-way watchable. GhostedContinue reading “All Should’ve ‘Ghosted’ This Movie”
