Earlier this year, I asked you to please help, if you can, my friend, Kat Bellatrix. I’m asking once again for you to please help her as she is suffering from serious health problems and needs open heart surgery as soon as possible. I don’t know how much longer she can put this off. She’sContinue reading “Please Help My Friend”

‘Se7en’ Is A Commentary On Human Cruelty, Apathy And Vengeance
A movie like Se7en, or just Seven as it’s sometimes shown, is quite possibly one of the most profound, unusually disturbing but provocative movies Hollywood has churned out in his history. The fact that it contains a rising heartthrob like Brad Pitt alongside a revered actor like Morgan Freeman and is so dark and unsettlingContinue reading “‘Se7en’ Is A Commentary On Human Cruelty, Apathy And Vengeance”
Rupert Murdoch Isn’t Going Anywhere
There’s a few things that are certain. When Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) says that he’s not stepping down as he’s froze up twice in the last few months, believe him. He’s not leaving the Senate unless it’s feet first. When Sir Michael Caine says he’s thinking of finally retiring, don’t believe him. Caine has beenContinue reading “Rupert Murdoch Isn’t Going Anywhere”
Hypocrisy Is Becoming America’s New Pasttime
Ok, show of hands – who hasn’t watched the news the last few weeks with a certain malaise that you kinda expected all this. Jimmy Fallon, who spent years, making us believe he was a squeaky-clean cornfed white-boy comic may be a drunk who spent the last nine years making The Tonight Show a toxicContinue reading “Hypocrisy Is Becoming America’s New Pasttime”
‘American Dream’ A Nightmare Of Corporate Greed, Labor Union Mistakes
The tagline on one of the movie posters of American Dream is “The film that corporate America doesn’t want you to see.” I think that’s comical. Because after sitting through the roughly 100 minutes of this documentary, you will probably also conclude that labor unions don’t want you to see it either. That might explainContinue reading “‘American Dream’ A Nightmare Of Corporate Greed, Labor Union Mistakes”
Leave Drew Alone!
I’ve never really been a big fan of Drew Barrymore, but I’ve always felt she got a raw deal from the Court of Public Opinion. As part of the Barrymore acting family, she was a “Nepo Baby” before that phrase was even thought of. She had a roller-coaster childhood that made Lindsay Lohan’s look likeContinue reading “Leave Drew Alone!”
Be Careful What Sides You Take
Four years ago this week, a person I was in Cub Scouts with and sat next to in many classes and even attended a sleepover for a birthday was covicted of a double murder of two women. He is serving a life sentence without parole in a Georgia prison. At the same time, a personContinue reading “Be Careful What Sides You Take”
Please Donate If You Can To A Good Charity
Today is my birthday. The month of September is also the birthday month of my mother and my late girlfriend. Before she passed away, my girlfriend was on the Board of Directors of Wheels of Happiness, a non-profit charity that helps people with physical disabilities and helps with mobile equipment such as wheelchairs and motorizedContinue reading “Please Donate If You Can To A Good Charity”
You’re Disrespecting 9/11 Victims By Continuing To Support Trump
I’ve often said that if Al Gore had been president, 9/11 or something like it would’ve still happened. It may not have happened on this day. It would’ve been March 23 or Nov. 17. And they may not have struck in New York City or The Pentagon. But a phantom menace was brewing in theContinue reading “You’re Disrespecting 9/11 Victims By Continuing To Support Trump”
What’s In A Review Anyway?
There’s a story that when they were putting together the segments of what would become Amazon Women on the Moon, producer Robert K. Weiss tried in vain to release the movie under the title “The Greatest Movie Ever.” The gag, he said was they could use the title in any reviews by famous credits toContinue reading “What’s In A Review Anyway?”
