Before I begin this post, let me preface I like movies and stories where the main characters aren’t the most likable. But there has to be some dimension to characters. And while people might draw comparisons to Dirty Harry and To Live and Die in L.A., Dragged Across Concrete isn’t in the same league. IContinue reading “‘Dragged Across Concrete’ Is MAGA Porn”

‘Twilight’ Dims Too Dull Too Soon
When you think of Twilight, you think of vampires and werewolves and an young woman torn between the two. Well, that might be the same premise of the 1998 neo-noir thriller from a certain point of view. Yet, a movie like this shouldn’t have be as disappointing as it is with the overabundance of talentContinue reading “‘Twilight’ Dims Too Dull Too Soon”
‘Above Suspicion’ Never Rises Above Average Poverty Porn Exploitations
For a while Above Suspicion, a little known 2019 movie featuring Emilia Clarke that wasn’t released in America until 2021 was in the top 10 on Netflix views. The movie had actually been filmed in 2016. And anyone tuning it can see why it took so many years to get released and why it justContinue reading “‘Above Suspicion’ Never Rises Above Average Poverty Porn Exploitations”
Why Corporate America Should Be (And Quite Possibly Is) Scared Of WGA Strike
The Writers Guild of America has been on strike for about 10 days now. It’s the first time in almost 16 years. For many of them, they are fighting for better residuals of the shows on the streaming services they write for. Sadly, some haven’t even got much for their efforts. If someone gets aContinue reading “Why Corporate America Should Be (And Quite Possibly Is) Scared Of WGA Strike”
Jabba The Hutt Is A Perfect Representation Of The Seven Deadly Sins
Jabba the Hutt made his first official appearance in a Star Wars movie in the 1983 movie Return of the Jedi, even though he had been spoken about in A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. So, when he finally showed up in Jedi, his appearance was very earned by the foretelling. A giantContinue reading “Jabba The Hutt Is A Perfect Representation Of The Seven Deadly Sins”
‘The Wolf Of Snow Hollow” Is An Awful Horror Movie That Makes No Sense
WARNING: This contains spoilers, but you’ll thank me. I didn’t know who Jim Cummings is when I started watching The Wolf of Snow Hollow and I still don’t know how he was able to make a movie like this. If you’re expecting a comedy-horror about a werewolf, go see An American Werewolf in London. ThisContinue reading “‘The Wolf Of Snow Hollow” Is An Awful Horror Movie That Makes No Sense”
‘Blood In Blood Out: Bound By Honor’ Celebrates 30 Years As Crime Epic Classic

Sometimes they’re not. Yet, by the time Blood In Blood Out: Bound by Honor appearred in theaters, no one “in the heartland” was really interested.Continue reading “‘Blood In Blood Out: Bound By Honor’ Celebrates 30 Years As Crime Epic Classic”
‘Tales From The Darkside’ Movie Takes TV Show To A Darker Realm
By the time Tales from the Darkside: The Movie hit theaters in early May of 1990, the anthology show had been off the air for almost two years. So, it’s no surprise that the movie only had a modest success. Much of the series which ran for four years in syndication aired at such oddContinue reading “‘Tales From The Darkside’ Movie Takes TV Show To A Darker Realm”
‘Return Of The Jedi’ Turns 40
By the time Return of the Jedi hit theaters in 1983, audiences were mixed on the final entry into the trilogy. And there’s good reason to that. The movie was swiftly rushed into production following the success of The Empire Strikes Back even though it took three years, which was the same time lapse ofContinue reading “‘Return Of The Jedi’ Turns 40”
‘Living With Chucky’ Overstays Its Welcome
The first time I saw a commercial for Child’s Play it was Halloween night 1988. Why the movie didn’t premiere before Halloween is anyone’s guess, but it was set to open more than a week later. The first movie was a modest success making over $44 million about four times its budget. It was helmedContinue reading “‘Living With Chucky’ Overstays Its Welcome”
