Graham Greene was 37 when he was cast in the role that would forever change his life and career. He had been acting in a few small roles on the TV and in movies. Born on the Six Nations Reserve in Ohsweken, Ontario, he had been acting since his early 20s. But in 1989, heContinue reading “Rest In Power, Graham Greene”

Ah, Shucks For ‘Clown In A Cornfield’
I have to hand it to Eli Roth. I’ve not liked a lot of his movies and think he’s way too full of himself a lot of times just like his one of his collaborators, Quentin Tarantino. But his 2023 movie Thanksgiving was a great ode to the 1980s slasher craze with some social commentaryContinue reading “Ah, Shucks For ‘Clown In A Cornfield’”
‘Kraven The Hunter’ Gets Poached
I’ve often wondered if people who work in some professions really like or hate their jobs to the point they’re embarrassed to tell anyone what they do. One of my friends was going to interview for a position at Adult Video News but decided at the last minute not to go because he wouldn’t knowContinue reading “‘Kraven The Hunter’ Gets Poached”
‘Stay Tuned’ Gets Mixed Reception
Stay Tuned is one of those movies that tries too hard to a movie for everyone that it never really pushes the boundaries of what it could’ve been capable of. This, I’m sure, is because the production company, Morgan Creek, was in need of a huge hit. That would come later in 1992 with theirContinue reading “‘Stay Tuned’ Gets Mixed Reception”
‘The Limey’ Is Terence Stamp’s Wonderful Masterpiece
A movie like The Limey is the type of movie an actor makes later in their career that comes after a previous flick causes a career resurgence. Terence Stamp, who recently died, had been working in the movies since the early 1960s when he was young and full of promise. Yet, there were a fewContinue reading “‘The Limey’ Is Terence Stamp’s Wonderful Masterpiece”
‘Drop’ A Thriller To Check Out
Dating in the Internet/digital age seems to be worse. In the olden days if you bumped into someone you thought you’d like to go on a date with, it was usually easy to tell. Blind dates have existed for a long time but they were usually set up by people you know. I’ve never hadContinue reading “‘Drop’ A Thriller To Check Out”
‘The Pickup’ Can Dropped Off
Every year, it seems a writer or actor has a dichotomy where one of their movies is the best while the other is the worst. And then there’s the double whammy where an actor or writer has two of the worst movies of their career released in the same year. Eva Longoria has the distinctionContinue reading “‘The Pickup’ Can Dropped Off”
‘Copycat’ At 30 Popular Again
With all the talk from the manosphere, conservatives, and online trolls about how movies are “woke” now, it ponders a question as to why has Copycat become so popular again as it was one of the highest streaming movies on Netflix. Released one month after the more anticipated Se7en, it follows a similar premise ofContinue reading “‘Copycat’ At 30 Popular Again”
‘King Of The Hill’ Climbs Back To The Top Of Its Glory Years
When King of the Hill premiered in the late 1990s, it seemed to be a subtle satire of small-town Americana during the era. But while South Park and The Simpsons made episodes to echo the changing world in the aftermath of 9/11, King of the Hill seemed to be stuck. It didn’t help matters thatContinue reading “‘King Of The Hill’ Climbs Back To The Top Of Its Glory Years”
‘War Of The Worlds’ Is The ‘Plan 9 From Outer Space’ Of The 21st Century
The latest adaptation of The War of the Worlds is as terrible as you’ve heard. I think the best comment was when someone online said it should’ve been an e-mail. It sucks that H.G. Wells’ book fell into the public domain because his estate should sue the filmmakers. If you thought the 1996 version ofContinue reading “‘War Of The Worlds’ Is The ‘Plan 9 From Outer Space’ Of The 21st Century”
