“Again, history repeats itself. And, uh, I mean, let’s talk about 1956. Let’s talk about the number 56 for just one minute. In California, Jesuit-educated Gavin Newsom. And he said to California, as he became the first governor to lock down his state, he said, “56% of you will get Corona in eight weeks”. Which […]
“This is a true story. It happened right here in my home town two years ago. A lot of people die in a lot of weird ways in this story. But you’re not going to find it in the news or anywhere like that, because the police and the top people in this town were, […]
It’s been a long time since a movie gave me goosebumps. The last real time I can remember it happened is when I first watched Nightmare on Elm Street, which is pretty ironic, as there are some pretty clear parallels between that film and Black Phone 2. Taking place at a summer camp, the film […]
You often hear it said that Tom Cruise is the hardest working actor in Hollywood. I don’t want to take anything away from Cruise, but I’d like to nominate Bob Odenkirk for the title.

“I like it when people underestimate me. It gives me an edge.” Much like the current thinking about our universe, it all started with The Big Bang Theory. The breakout character there was Sheldon Cooper, played by Jim Parsons. For 279 episodes, television fans just couldn’t get enough. That was until Parsons asked for a […]
“Good evening, Ethan. This is your president. Since you won’t reply to anyone else, I thought I’d reach out directly.

“One … two … Freddy’s coming for you, three … four … better lock the door, five … six … grab your crucifix …” Freddy might have been born in the mind of Wes Craven, but he grew and developed in the knife-wielding hands of Robert Englund. Granted, not all of these films are equal […]
“It wasn’t a dream; at least that’s what I believe. The thing is I felt hurt and plenty sad, and there were times when I thought I couldn’t go on. But I know I’m not the only one suffering. I want to protect everyone’s future. I need to keep pushing forward. I feel that more […]
“I’m not a bad guy. I just made bad choices. I have a plan.” Derek Cianfrance doesn’t have a lot of movies in the director’s chair, but his 2012 The Place Beyond The Pines was a pretty solid film. Since then he’s been pretty quiet, and he’s finally surfaced once again with the rather off-kilter […]
“There are no industry secrets. We can always meet our life partner out in the wild or swiping on apps, but the happy ending to a first date is not the second date. It’s changing each other’s diapers and burying each other. You’re looking for a nursing home partner and a grave buddy. Who our […]
