‘Lord Of The Flies’ Adaptations A Monster To Connect With Audience
A movie or TV adaptation is like a step-parent. No matter what it does or doesn’t do, people will still be weary. But at the same time, just like a step-parent, it shouldn’t be forced to be appreciated just because someone wants you to. I read William Golding’s Lord of the Flies over 30 yearsContinue reading “‘Lord Of The Flies’ Adaptations A Monster To Connect With Audience”

Prom Night is supposed to be one of those events that are a rite of passage as you making those last transitions from childhood into adulthood.

Trump Whiffs As America Sinks
Nero never did play the fiddle while Rome burned because there was no such instrument at the time and he was about 30 miles away. And Marie Antoinette never said, “Let them eat cake!” about the poor in French and “cake” was never referring to the burnt bread crisp that are almost always discarded.

Swipe Left On ‘DTF St. Louis’
We’ve kinda reached the point where movie studios are only throwing money at big budget movies that stories like “DTF St. Louis” are being released as limited series. But what should’ve been a two-hour family drama movie in the vein of “Rashomon” is a shaggy dog story that is stretched over seven episodes that areContinue reading “Swipe Left On ‘DTF St. Louis’”
‘Into The Manosphere’ Only Skims The Surface Of The Rabbit Hole
I just watched Magnolia in which Tom Cruise received an Oscar nomination for his role as Frank T.J. Mackey, a writer and basic swindler, who has convinced many men that he is on their side.

Shut Up About ‘Crash’ As ‘Brokeback Mountain’ Isn’t Better
For the past 20 years, Crash has been on the lips of everybody on the Internet and movie critics (both professional and amateur) as the “Worst Movie To Win Best Picture Oscar.” This is like calling Plan 9 From Outer Space the worst movie ever made. There have been a lot of movies that came before and a helluva lot more that haveContinue reading “Shut Up About ‘Crash’ As ‘Brokeback Mountain’ Isn’t Better”
Happy Birthday To My Furbaby
I want you to help me wish my furbaby, Skitty, a happy 13. I nearly lost her a few months ago as she was barely eating during much of the month of November.
