Movie Review: 'Cocaine Bear'
There are times in a film fanatic’s life when certain trailers come along that you don’t mind seeing over and over again, week after week, before movie after movie. Then there’s that rare trailer that captures lightning in a bottle, one so unparalleled that the pure fact a film like this exists—and is being distributed by a major studio, no less—brings joy to your life and makes the world a… → Read More

Movie Review: 'Avatar: The Way of Water'
I’ll admit, I wasn’t holding my breath for a sequel to James Cameron’s Avatar. I saw it once in the theaters back in 2009, thought it was visually stunning but lacking in plot and I’ve never watched it since. I honestly don’t know anyone who’s a huge fan of it, and I never see t-shirts for it or even many collectibles. There just doesn’t seem to be a popularity market for Avatar the way you see… → Read More

Movie Review: 'Black Adam'
When it comes to Hollywood, it’s not unusual for projects to be in development for many years, even decades. Rights issues, budgetary problems, actors’ schedules, dissatisfaction in the scripts, all of these—and other factors—can be the reasons for delay. This has occurred throughout the more than one hundred year history of Tinsel Town.With the rise of the instant information age these past… → Read More

Movie Review: 'Don't Worry Darling'
What does utopia mean for you? I guarantee you had a similar answer to most who read that question. Yet, I also feel certain in guaranteeing you had a very different answer, at the same time. This is the paradox of the utopian ideal. To have a perfect society, everyone must be on the same page as to what that means, otherwise it can quickly devolve into a dystopia. If your utopic world ends up… → Read More
Movie Review: 'Confess, Fletch'
I have a confession. I’m one of the biggest Fletch fans on the planet. I can endlessly quote the original 1985 Chevy Chase film. I have devoured all eleven of the books by the late, great Gregory Mcdonald. I even went on the Pod of Dreams podcast and discussed the movie at length.I have also made it my mission to remind/teach people that the film exists. See, a few years ago, I discovered that… → Read More

Movie Review: 'Prey'
I remember early on into my discovery of a love of writing, my father told me about universe building. He’s an avid reader—a trait I inherited—and is a big fan of sprawling, epic space operas from the likes of authors as Asimov, Herbert and Drake. They created universes that could span several stories and books, utilizing many different characters over vast periods of time.It was a novel concept… → Read More
