There’s Something Rotten at Rotten Tomatoes with Captain Marvel

(Gosh, I can’t believe that Disnarvel is finally doing a follow-up to this movie!  Anyway, as a mere child, I wrote this back in 2019 and now that a sequel that no one asked for, starring people that no one really cares about, is maybe perhaps coming out some time, I thought I’d resurrect this …

What’s A Mother’s Movies To Do?: Stalag 17

Time to continue the journey down the rabbit hole, exploring of some of my late mother’s favorite films.  Her tastes leaned more towards the classic rather than the modern, and I’m completely fine with that.  Far too often we jump into the new and flashy thing with both feet and then dispose of it three minutes later …

What’s A Mother’s Movies To Do?: The Thing From Another World

After an interminable spell of inaction with this series, we once again ascend the mountain of the movies that my mother enjoyed while she was still with us.  As we climb, be sure that you have a good set of pitons, some excellent rope, and a flag representing whatever nation gave you the most endorsement money …

Almost Equal Sequels PART XIII: Batman Returns

When in Year of Our Blockbusters, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Eighty-Nine, there was only one man that could beat Indiana Jones, James Bond, Riggs & Murtaugh, Marty McFly, the Ghostbusters, and Weird Al Yankovic at the box office: Batman!  There was such a demand for Batman movie tickets and bat-related paraphernalia, the country simply …

Regarding Violent Night: Not All Is Calm, But All Is Bright!

It’s over.  The hustle and bustle of the holiday season is for the most part dead.  Yeah, there might be a late holiday party or an office get-together but those in attendance won’t really have their hearts in it.  The stockings are coming down.  The menorah has gone out.  Relentless winter continues regardless.  And your …

Almost Equal Sequels Part XII: 2010: The Year We Make Contact

Ye gods, it has been a terrifically long time, hasn’t it?  I feel like I’ve finally awoken from hibernation as I make the long journey to Jupiter’s moons, I tell you!  Now that I coincidentally on purpose mentioned Jupiter’s moons, I think the time has come to talk about a sequel to an acclaimed and …
