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

Illegal immigration is a highly debated topic in this country. Some people believe we should welcome these immigrants who generally come to the United States to flee dangerous countries while others feel they should be sent back to where they came from. However, there are a few problems with making any immigrants leave. First, the... Read More

The Eyes of Tammy Faye

(Allison Rose) 9/17/2021 10:20 AM EST
Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker were televangelists who amassed a following of millions of followers at the height of their popularity. Then, in 1987, their reign over religious television came to an end with the appropriation of funds and sexual scandals. An investigation into the PTL (Praise the Lord) Club revealed two sets of books were ke... 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

Cinderella

It doesn't matter how old or how young you are. It doesn't matter the color of your skin, your gender, or your religion. Everyone, and I mean, EVERYONE, knows the story of Cinderella. The 1950 Disney classic animated movie had the sweet, beautiful young woman, a handsome prince, and an evil stepmother and stepsisters. There w... Read More

We Need To Do Somethig

Family – love them or hate them, one thing is certain…you're stuck with them. Of course, I'm speaking metaphorically but what if you really were stuck with them? Would you all be able to survive together in a small space without wanting to kill each other? For some families, the answer is yes while for others there se... Read More

Urban Legends are described as humorous or horrific stories or pieces of information circulated as though true, especially one purporting to involve someone vaguely related or known to the teller. They have been around as long as storytelling of any kind and often involve supernatural elements. These "legends" get passed down from g... Read More

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

(Allison Rose) 8/24/2021 2:15 AM EST
Just when you thought Marvel pulled out every superhero and villain in their arsenal, this summer we are getting introduced to Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. What?!? Who?!? Why?!? Well, the last question we already know the answer to (the all mighty dollar) but unless you are a true Marvel comics fan, chances are you have no... Read More

The Night House

(Allison Rose) 8/19/2021 10:44 AM EST
Fifteen years ago, a film starring Keanu Reeves (The John Wick Series) and Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side), blended some unexplained, supernatural-type elements with a scenic view from a mostly glass house that sat on a lake. The Lake house was a romance (with that supernatural element left unexplained) and fans of Reeves and Bullock certainl... Read More

Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul, known to her friends and family as "Rhee", is indisputably one of the most iconic singers of the twentieth century. Her smooth vocals, incredible musicality, tenacity, and tumultuous personal life made her a legend whose legacy will stand the test of time. Long before her passing in August o... Read More
