‘Mr. Harrigan’s Phone’ Stretches Too Much Out, But Still Makes The Call

For a movie that’s about an elderly man’s phone, Mr. Harrigan’s Phone is a good 20 minutes too long in its length, repeating itself when it’s not necessary. Not to criticize all elderly people who talk on the phone, but this movie based on a novella of the same name by Stephen King, seems theContinue reading “‘Mr. Harrigan’s Phone’ Stretches Too Much Out, But Still Makes The Call”

My Thoughts On ‘Willow’ Series: You Aren’t Great!

I’m just going to throw this out of there and all Gen Xers and nerds are just going to have to deal with it, but the 1988 Willow movie wasn’t as good as we remember. I was barely 10 when the movie was in theaters but I finally saw it on HBO the following summer.Continue reading “My Thoughts On ‘Willow’ Series: You Aren’t Great!”

‘The Gray Man’ Lacks Any Colorful Characters Or Plot

The Russo Brothers (Joe and Anthony) had some big expectations after they’re back-to-back success of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers:Endgame. I’d argue they basically boosted abilities of the MCU with their hit films Captain America: The Winter Soldier (the best so far) and Captain America: Civil War (which seemed like a pseudo-Avengers movie). They weren’tContinue reading “‘The Gray Man’ Lacks Any Colorful Characters Or Plot”

‘Orville: New Horizons’ Boldly Goes Where Topical TV Has Gone Before

When The Orville premiered on Fox in the Fall of 2017, the show created by Seth MacFarlane, as well as being produced and starring him, probably had many people groaning. What was the creator behind shows like Family Guy and American Dad doing with a sci-fi show in the vein of Star Trek? Was itContinue reading “‘Orville: New Horizons’ Boldly Goes Where Topical TV Has Gone Before”

We Need To Talk About Racist Killers

There’s no way to sugarcoat what happened over the weekend in Buffalo, N.Y. Back in 2015 when that piece of garbage Dylann Roof shot up the Emanuel African Methodist Episocal Church in Charleston, S.C., the argument was Roof had an aversion to Christianity. I even heard this from the mouths of black people. He evenContinue reading “We Need To Talk About Racist Killers”

‘Find Me Guilty’ Showcases Vin Diesel’s Acting, Sidney Lumet’s Directing (And Samuel Alito’s Incompetence)

This week, Samuel Alito’s name has been in the news more time than the winter of 2006 when he was confirmed as a Justice on the Supreme Court. As the second appointment by President George W. Bush, Alito was more or less riding Chief Justice John Roberts’ coattails. And that was pretty much the lastContinue reading “‘Find Me Guilty’ Showcases Vin Diesel’s Acting, Sidney Lumet’s Directing (And Samuel Alito’s Incompetence)”

‘The Batman’ Is Just What DC Comics Needs Right Now

About the time Batman & Robin came out, a friend and I were discussing what was wrong with these movies. He suggested that the movies need to follow the style of the comics more rather than relying on a bigger production, sets and emphasis on who was playing the villain. Batman, for the most part,Continue reading “‘The Batman’ Is Just What DC Comics Needs Right Now”

‘Turning Red’ Should Usher In A New Wave Of Animated Features

Turning Red is a cute, charming, and entertaining animated feature. I’m just puzzled why Disney would regulate the movie, made by frequent collaborator Pixar Animation Studios, just to its online streaming service Disney-Plus. Maybe they were afraid how the movie would play both in American and overseas theaters. Set in Toronto in 2002, the plotContinue reading “‘Turning Red’ Should Usher In A New Wave Of Animated Features”

Retirement Should Be An Option Not A Luxury

In the past week, we’ve learned that Bruce Willis, at 67, is retiring from acting after it was publicly announced he has been diagnosed with aphasia and probably struggling with it for a few years. For most of his career and especially, the last 10 years, he has been the subject of jokes for hisContinue reading “Retirement Should Be An Option Not A Luxury”
