The Good Nurse is the typical movie an Oscar winner makes after they win an Oscar. And by that, I mean it’s not too good. Remember Michael Caine having to miss the Oscars ceremony to do reshoots on Jaws: The Revenge. Maybe that’s why Jessica Chastain signed on because it would’ve have almost guarenteed herContinue reading “Bad Diagnosis For ‘The Good Nurse’”

Stand Your Ground At Center Of ‘Brittany Smith’ Documentary
I’ve never liked the Stand Your Ground law. There’s so much grey area and a little bit of the green era as in those who have money usually get away with it. The same people who defend Kyle Rittenhouse for traveling across state lines would probably also criticize the real-life victim at the center ofContinue reading “Stand Your Ground At Center Of ‘Brittany Smith’ Documentary”
‘Duel’ Gave Spielberg His First Win
Duel is often called Steven Spielberg’s first feature movie. This is not exactly the case. His first feature movie is The Sugarland Express released in 1974. Duel was released in theaters, but it first was released through Universal Television as an ABC Movie of the Week on Nov. 13, 1971. It was heavily praised andContinue reading “‘Duel’ Gave Spielberg His First Win”
‘Capturing The Killer Nurse’ Shows Dangers In Healthcare Bureaucracy
I didn’t know that Capturing the Killer Nurse was connected to The Good Nurse going into watching it on Netflix. I was about 15 minutes into Falling into Christmas before giving up and turning to this. I debated about writing a post without seeing The God Nurse first but felt it was best to reviewContinue reading “‘Capturing The Killer Nurse’ Shows Dangers In Healthcare Bureaucracy”
‘The Patient’ Wears On Your Patience
The Patient, a 10-episode limited series, that is on Hulu is the prime example of why limited series are getting out of hand. Episodes ranged from as short as 21 minutes with credits to as long as 46 minutes with credits. This is about five hours of a series that could’ve very easily been squeezedContinue reading “‘The Patient’ Wears On Your Patience”
The Best Batman Movie You May Not Have Heard About
As a Batman fan, I was sadden to hear of the passing of Kevin Conroy due to intestinal cancer on Nov. 10. As an openly gay man, he appeared in many movies and TV shows throughout his life. But in 1992, he was tapped to voice Bruce Wayne/Batman in the landmark Batman: The Animated SeriesContinue reading “The Best Batman Movie You May Not Have Heard About”
‘God Forbid’ Focuses On Unbelievable Sex Scandal
One of the most landmark First Amendment cases took place in the 1980s when Jerry Falwell sued Hustler and publisher Larry Flynt over a fake Campari ad in which he talked about his first time having sex with his mother in an outhouse. It was so absurd that no one could believe it as aContinue reading “‘God Forbid’ Focuses On Unbelievable Sex Scandal”
‘Weird’ Tells Parody Of Yankovic’s Life
Weird Al Yankovic has such a private life, while doing some research via Wikipedia, I was learned that as a devout Christian, he doesn’t use profanity or even drink alcohol. In 1992 he became a vegetarian but mostly follows a vegan diet now, even though he admits to eating a cheese pizza every now andContinue reading “‘Weird’ Tells Parody Of Yankovic’s Life”
Gen Xers’ Rage At Heart Of ‘I Love You, You Hate Me’
What was it that made us hate Barney the Purple Dinosaur? I remember going to school one morning at 14 or 15 and the radio station did a parody of The Beastie Boys’ “Fight For Your Right.” But instead of fighting for your right to party, it was to burn Barney. The San Diego ChickenContinue reading “Gen Xers’ Rage At Heart Of ‘I Love You, You Hate Me’”
‘Killer Sally’ Examines Gender Norms And Our Double Standards
When the FarmersOnly.com commercials began airing about a decade ago, I chuckled because they were selling a stereotype of the cute petite cowgirl who wears Daisy Dukes and cowgirl boots. What they actually offer are more country women and pardon me for saying, this, the butch outdoorsy types. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.Continue reading “‘Killer Sally’ Examines Gender Norms And Our Double Standards”
