From his start as a struggling actor in Roger Corman-produced cheap exploitation movies to an Oscar winning movie in a matter of a few years is the type of Cinderella story that most actors dream of. Yet, the problem with Sylvester Stallone has always been his inflated ego. Many times in his career spanning back to the late 1960s when he appeared as extrasContinue reading “‘Cobra’ Has Bite To Slithering Story”

‘The Hateful Eight’ 10 Years Later
Quentin Tarantino has been making a lot of news lately with what some could consider “Yelling at the clouds” moments. His lasted “Get off my lawn!” rants have been directed toward actor Paul Dano. I’ll admit, he does kind of suck in a lot of roles. Some actors just can’t hack it in versatile roles. HeContinue reading “‘The Hateful Eight’ 10 Years Later”
Sydney Sweeney Not Playing Into Their Reindeer Games And Good For Her
I’m trying to change up the content on my blog but there are a few things recently that have pissed me off. First off is how people are trying to make Sydney Sweeney out to be a white supremacist just because people think there’s more meaning to an American Eagle advertisement she did earlier this year. It’s a play on how “genes” andContinue reading “Sydney Sweeney Not Playing Into Their Reindeer Games And Good For Her”

Don’t Fear ‘Night Of The Reaper’ For It’s Not Much At All
I’m just wondering how much longer filmmakers will continue to churn out these horror flicks that are intended to an homage to the 1980s slasher movies but lack what made them enjoyable. I’m not saying every slasher flick of the era was great. Most of them were awful. But they’re like a strange time capsuleContinue reading “Don’t Fear ‘Night Of The Reaper’ For It’s Not Much At All”
‘The Boys Next Door’ Are Not The People Who Want To Live Next To
In the Netflix documentary about Charlie Sheen, there’s little mention that I can recollect of his 1985 movie The Boys Next Door. This was his first starring role in a feature film. His role in Red Dawn I would say is more of an ensemble. Here he plays Bo Richards, your typical ne’er do wellContinue reading “‘The Boys Next Door’ Are Not The People Who Want To Live Next To”
‘Dexter: Resurrection’ Injects New Life, But It Needs Critical Care STAT
I was a big fan of Dexter when it aired on Showtime. But it was apparent after a while, it was running on empty. And like many fans, I felt Miami-area serial killer Dexter Morgan still need to atone for his sins and die.

Now, that Robert Redford is gone, his understudy is definitely Brad Pitt. And you can sense George Clooney as the next Paul Newman. Beginning in the first Ocean’s movie back in 2001, they seem to have a wonderful chemistry that Newman and Redford showed off in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and later TheContinue reading “‘Ocean’s Eleven’ Alum Hit And Miss in New England Crime Thrillers”

Alec Baldwin’s career has been on a rocky road following the fatal shooting accident on the set of Rust in 2021. Baldwin’s legal battles have consumed most of his time as he’s only been able to be in less than stellar movies.
