I've been Jonesing for a good action film for quite some time. Due to the Covid pandemic most all film production came to a halt for over a year and left a gaping hole in that genre. Not that there aren't some decent action films on streaming venues, mostly dubbed and from other countries, but there's been a lack of real gut-punching American-made ... Read More

Hypothetically, if you were running from a hired assassin trying to kill you, what is the first thing you would think of doing? For con-man Theodore "Teddy" Murretto (Frank Grillo; The Purge: Anarchy), he finds an opportunity and takes it. In this case, he sucker punches a police officer and gets himself arrested. Co-written a... Read More

The Shawshank Redemption

(Allison Rose) 9/14/2021 7:04 PM EST
When one hears the name Stephen King, the first thought is horror-themed novels turned into blockbuster movies, but some may not know that he has written other stories without that scary, supernatural slant. A perfect example of this is his 1982 novella called Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. Twelve years after it was publish... Read More

In 1966 NBC aired a new science fiction series created by Gene Roddenberry called Star Trek. Originally, it wasn't very well received and was canceled after three seasons due to low Nielsen ratings.
