There are few movie characters that are as iconic as the actor that plays them. Few where if you changed the actor that the character would become almost unrecognizable. Harrison Ford has the distinction of playing two characters that are as inseparable from him as they are from the franchises they belong to. The first […]
This week I decided to do a bit of a change up. It’s a long weekend and the weather should be great for outside activities. If you’re sitting indoors over the 4th Of July weekend it’s probably mostly to just cool down or get away from your drunk friend that won’t stop yelling “‘Murica!” at […]
There is one name that is most synonymous with action movies: Arnold Schwarzenegger. He is usually the first person most people think of when the 80s and explosions on the silver screen are brought up. While Sylvester Stallone and others are definitely icons of action movies in their own right he was the absolute epitome […]
I’m the first person that is against remaking films unless you actually make then significantly better than the original. There are classics that can never be done better and shouldn’t be even if they are, at times imitated to a certain level. No one asked for a remake of Red Dawn, but for some reason […]
When I first saw trailers for “The Mother” on Netflix I thought that it was a vehicle for Jennifer Lopez to dip into the action genre. She has been in thrillers and action movies, but this was her portraying the action hero that usually is reserved for men like Arnold and Sly. Shots of her […]

What made these type of shows […]
“What a bunch of a-holes.” is what was uttered in the original trailer for the first Guardians of the Galaxy when it was coming out in 2014. It was a signal that this was not another comic book, superhero movie that you had seen before. My limited knowledge of comic books had me groaning that […]
When it comes to episodic shows being on streaming services they are typically well received. Writers, directors, and the service has carte blanche to do what they want because it’s a paid service. It’s not surprising to see big name actors and directors involved with a strong fan base online and at the office break […]
Do you remember wanting to know everything that was going on behind the scenes with your favorite bands? We would hear rumors and tabloid trach about their lives and the dynamic within the group. The relationships, on stage antics, the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, and the eventual breakup or the drift […]
Tragedy struck in 2020 when actor Chadwick Boseman passed away unexpectedly from cancer. It was unexpected because he was hiding it so well from others in the industry and the media. It wads sudden to the rest of the world even if he had been fighting it on and off for years. Boseman played some […]
