The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978)

For the holiday season, I decided to take a look at something that’s truly scary. No, I’m not talking about Black Christmas, Silent Night Deadly Night, or even Gremlins. I’m talking about a TV special that only…

Teen Wolf (1985): a recap (part 3 of 3): Dances, with Wolves

The Birds (1963)

Unlike Halloween and Christmas, there really aren’t many movies which revolve around Thanksgiving. Sure, we have the classic comedy Planes, Trains, and Automobiles as well as (of course) A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and Garfield’s Thanksgiving. But overall, the holiday…

Teen Wolf (1985): a recap (part 2 of 3): Must Love Dogs

Fatal Attraction (1987)

The recent backlash which began with allegations against notorious producer Harvey Weinstein is causing ripples throughout Hollywood, to say the least. This backlash has now affected once-respected thespians such as Kevin Spacey and Dustin Hoffman. While obviously a coincidence, I…

Will Justice League be new and fun, or just Batman v. Superman 2?

Don’t get me wrong, I want to see Justice League. I absolutely won't miss it. But the truth is I'd see Bridget Jones 4 if Batman showed up in it.

The biggest plot hole in Star Wars... isn't a plot hole

So I finally saw Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. I have in fact seen it twice in the last four months. And my reaction is… …eh. I mean, it wasn’t bad or anything. It was a perfectly serviceable…

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994)

Frankenstein’s Monster and Dracula are as common a pop culture one-two punch as Superman and Batman. If there’s a movie with one character, you can bet that the other will follow suit shortly afterwards. Not surprisingly, there have been stories…
