As a long-time Stephen King fan, I want to wish him a Happy Birthday as he turns 78 today. For a man to live the life he has and to still be kicking is a testament to perseverance. Raised in poverty mostly in rural Maine, his father left when he was two. And King andContinue reading “Happy Birthday To The King, Stephen King, That Is!”

Bish Be Trippin’ All Da Time, Mah!
As a supporter of the LGBTQIA community, I don’t believe that homosexuality is a choice. Yet, so far this month, I can can understand why some men decide just to be with other men. If there weas a Bang, Smash, Dash consisting of Kendra Licari, Phillies Karen, and Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, most men wouldContinue reading “Bish Be Trippin’ All Da Time, Mah!”
‘The War Of The Roses’ Breaks The American Beauty Of Thorny Marriages
I had intended to do a different movie for this post but decided with recent events to focus on something else. Just a reminder, this post may contain spoilers. The War of the Roses is one of the best satirical black comedies ever. What makes it work is the era in which it was released.Continue reading “‘The War Of The Roses’ Breaks The American Beauty Of Thorny Marriages”
‘Never Flinch’ Never Rises To Top Of Stephen King’s Best Works
Sometimes, writers find their supporting and secondary characters are the more fascinating ones than the main protagonists and the main villains. In the Stephen King universe, there have been numerous characters that have come and went. Take how King introduced us to Sheriff George Bannerman in The Dead Zone only to kill him off asContinue reading “‘Never Flinch’ Never Rises To Top Of Stephen King’s Best Works”
We Owe Lindsay Lohan An Apology
I’m in no hurry to see Freakier Friday. I just watched the original one the other day for the first time in 20 years. Over the years, the actress/singer took a lot of shit for what people said and did. I’d argue the whole thing with Georgia Rule and her partying was just a PRContinue reading “We Owe Lindsay Lohan An Apology”
OceanGate Titan Docs Expose What Most Of Us Suspected
Two years ago on this date, June 18, the OceanGate Titan submersible imploded in the North Atlantic Ocean. Th submersible was intended to take rich people on a trip to view the wreckage of the RMS Titanic. Except there was a huge problem – it wasn’t safe. The implosion killed all five of its occupantsContinue reading “OceanGate Titan Docs Expose What Most Of Us Suspected”
‘House Of My Mother’ A Memoir Of Abuse And Horrors
According to Judd Apatow, one of the reasons his show Freaks and Geeks failed is because NBC refused to allow a website to be created. It was 30 years ago when I first saw a http link used in an advertisement for the digitally remastered VHS boxed set of the Star Wars trilogy. The InternetContinue reading “‘House Of My Mother’ A Memoir Of Abuse And Horrors”
‘Dexter: Original Sin’ Needs Repentance
I was a big fan of the original run of Dexter. Even when the series ran off the rails those last few seasons, I was still tuning in. There was really no way they were going to top John Lithgow as the Trinity Killer. But like a lot of people, I didn’t care for thatContinue reading “‘Dexter: Original Sin’ Needs Repentance”
‘Lies He Told Me’ Is A Nice Thriller With Some Well-Deserved Twists
With a mediocre title and lackluster cover, Lies He Told Me could’ve been another one of James Patterson’s less than stellar novels. There’s even been some talk that Patterson has the books ghost-written but only does a polish as the actual writers are the lesser known ones who share the below the title credit. AndContinue reading “‘Lies He Told Me’ Is A Nice Thriller With Some Well-Deserved Twists”
‘Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark’ Series Remain Some Of The Best
Like most people, I was very disappointed with the 2019 loose adaptation of the book series Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. The three books published over a 10-year period from Oct. 14, 1981 to Sept. 1, 1991 were some of the true terrifying stories for young people. Most of them were retellings ofContinue reading “‘Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark’ Series Remain Some Of The Best”
