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”
‘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”
‘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”
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”
‘Repo Man’ Is A Classic Antique
What makes a movie like Repo Man so enjoyable is that it doesn’t really take itself seriously. It’s mostly a series of episodic tales involving punk rocker degenerates, sleazy people who work for a repossession business, street gangs and America’s growing obsession with consumerism and televangelism in the 1980s. Otto Maddox (Emilio Estevez) is aContinue reading “‘Repo Man’ Is A Classic Antique”
Some Things Don’t Deserve To Be Reassessed Decades Later
In recent months, filmmaker John Carpenter came under fire from his own fans that his 1983 adaptation of Stephen King’s Christine isn’t as great as people make it out to be. Carpenter has been one of the few mainstream directors who doesn’t shy away from the fact that he does a movie for money norContinue reading “Some Things Don’t Deserve To Be Reassessed Decades Later”
‘Adolescence’ Is A Wonderful Series
There’s a belief among a lot of people that some of the best of TV is produced in the United Kingdom and I would have to agree. Look at The Office, Monty Python’s Flying Circus, The Benny Hill Show, Fawlty Towers, and even Duckula. Maybe it’s because the Brits don’t waste our time with fluffContinue reading “‘Adolescence’ Is A Wonderful Series”
Double Bogey For ‘Happy Gilmore 2’
Granted the first Happy Gilmore wasn’t the best movie ever. But considering it’s an Adam Sandler movie, it’s probably one of his best…in the Happy Madison universe that is. Sandler has done some fine work as a serious actor and even in comedy movies where his entourage have no involvement. I think many critics justContinue reading “Double Bogey For ‘Happy Gilmore 2’”
