Netflix Has New Life In ‘Murder In West Cork’ Docuseries

Netflix had a surprise hit many years ago with the true-crime docuseries Making a Murderer, which was about the strange case of Steven Avery, who was released in 2005 after being wrongfully convicted of a sexual assault and attempted murder only to find himself suspected, charged and convicted of an murder of a photographer butContinue reading “Netflix Has New Life In ‘Murder In West Cork’ Docuseries”

‘Con Air’ Is A Horrible Yet Delightful Movie

Today is July 14. For many, it’s Bastille Day, when the poor and downtrodden of France rallied against the monarchy and stormed the bastille. It’s also the same day many of the events on which Con Air is set. I don’t know if Scott Rosenberg did this intentionally when he wrote the script. But I’dContinue reading “‘Con Air’ Is A Horrible Yet Delightful Movie”

Despite A Few Misfires ‘Guns Akimbo’ Hits Enough Targets

I have no idea how much Daniel Radcliffe made off the Harry Potter movies, but he’s ascended from an obscure boy getting one of the most coveted roles ever to an adult willing to take on the roles so far from the mainstream, he’s developing his own fan base in that league. A few yearsContinue reading “Despite A Few Misfires ‘Guns Akimbo’ Hits Enough Targets”

Nothing To ‘Fear’ In This Installment

Back in 1978 and 1994 and early as a decade ago, before TV networks realized they could have big hits with summer shows, many networks would take their less-desirable shows and stick them in slots normally reserved for more popular shows. It’s called “burning off” and it still is popular even though not as usedContinue reading “Nothing To ‘Fear’ In This Installment”

That’s A Wrap! Fade Out For Two Very Influential Filmmakers

In the past week, two influential filmmakers have died. While many people may not think of Richard Donner or Robert Downey Sr. in the same vein as Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg, Cecil B. DeMille, Martin Scorsese, Akira Kurosawa, Stanley Kubrick, or Francios Touffait, they both helped change American cinema for the past 50 years. RichardContinue reading “That’s A Wrap!

‘No Sudden Move’ Zigs And Zags In One Helluva Ride

I’m not sure how much of No Sudden Move can be reviewed without giving away some of the plot twists. Some critics have even not listed some of the cast even though I will because I don’t think it matters. Brendan Fraser plays a middle man who hires three criminals played by Don Cheadle, BenecioContinue reading “‘No Sudden Move’ Zigs And Zags In One Helluva Ride”

July 4 And Independence Day Means Something Different To Everyone

A few weeks ago, I attended a ceremony honoring bicyclists who participated in the Remember The Removal for the Cherokee Nation. I don’t want to post pics here because I don’t want to dishonor the efforts people or make them feel they’re being associated with this post. Also, I showed up late and didn’t getContinue reading “July 4 And Independence Day Means Something Different To Everyone”

Prognosis Negative For ‘False Positive’

Rosemary’s Baby came out 53 years ago and I’ve probably seen it twice, even though I owned a VHS copy I bought for $2 back in the late 1990s at a Blockbuster. I just didn’t think it was that great of a horror movie. Maybe I had seen many other horror movies made within theContinue reading “Prognosis Negative For ‘False Positive’”

Life Is A Constant Journey, Never A Final Destination

I suffer from severe chronic back pain and over the last five years have developed arthritis in my hands and knees among other places. As I type this, my hands are aching. There’s a line from the 2019 movie Joker that goes, “The worst part about having a mental illness is people expect you toContinue reading “Life Is A Constant Journey, Never A Final Destination”
