Megan Fox’s ‘Passion Play’ Deserves Another Look While It’s On Tubi TV
Something inside of me was stirred when I happened to catch a lost movie of Megan Fox’s. Mickey Rourke and Bill Murray are also in it so I’m not sure how I missed it back in 2010 when Passion Play first came out. But it’s a great movie that deserves another look. It grossed $3,669 even though it was made with a budget of $8 million. No. That is not a typo. I thought the same thing. That’s so bizarre that these A-List talents are in this wonderful movie and it didn’t earn any more than that. If someone can tell me how that happened, I’m all ears. If you can suspend…

Thoughts On ‘A Quiet Place’ Before Watching The Sequel
The quietest movie of the twenty-first century, A Quiet Place starring Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe keeps you guessing. It answers your questions as it goes but the questions keep coming. One of the most unique aspects of the movie is that it drops you right in the middle of the story. There is no, “The aliens are coming” or “Hey, look at our wonderful lives before they get ripped apart.” Nope. None of that. The movie starts with a little bit of salvaging in an abandoned store and everyone is barefoot, tiptoeing around, hardly even able to whisper. So, they have all learned sign…

I Challenge You To Watch The ‘Four Good Days’ Trailer Without Crying
The buzz is all over the place about the new Glenn Close and Mila Kunis movie Four Good Days. The one thing most people are talking about is that they can’t get through the trailer without crying. Of course, that means if they can’t get through the trailer without crying, they won’t be able to get through the movie without bawling their eyes out. Glenn Close just hit a homerun recently when she starred in Hillbilly Elegy. She was nominated for four prestigious industry awards. She hasn’t won any of them yet but the verdict is still out on The Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. This makes the eighth time…

A Jennifer Connelly Scene: The Most Heartbreaking Block In History
The year was 1991 in a Target of a small town. Jennifer Connelly was 21 at the time, but she was playing the part of a girl who seemed to be more in her late teens. Frank Whaley was 28 years old and he also seemed to be playing a much younger character. Their names were Josie and Jim in the John Hughes film Career Opportunities. Of course, Jennifer Connelly is loved and adored by millions of fans and has been since her first role in 1982 when she played “The Girl” in Tales of the Unexpected. It wasn’t long after that, she was starring in her infamous role as Sarah…

Chucky Abduction Of Glen Amber Alert Issued In Texas Over The Weekend
Update: Glen is safe and sound! Actually, it was issued on the 29th after Glen had been missing all day on the 28th. The first suspect anyone could think of was Chucky, his father. The motivation for the abduction isn’t quite clear yet, but I can venture a guess. After Glen raised his mother and father from the dead, there were issues from the start. Tiffany thought their child was a little girl and named her Glenda. But Chucky thought their child was a boy and named him Glen. Of course, we all know that Glenda dwells inside of Glen and comes out when needed, like when the detective who…

‘Angel of Mine’ Is A Must See If You Like Mind-Blowing Wicked Twists
Who doesn’t like mind-blowing wicked twists? I love writing them as much as I love watching them. Interacting with a story and trying to figure out what’s going to happen only to be totally blown away by something unexpected is the most entertaining part of watching or reading stories. Angel of Mine has that. It’s a 2019 film on Hulu in case you’ve never heard of it. I was doing some research on Yvonne Strahovski again and she’s one of the three stars in the film. She plays the mother of two children, a son and a daughter. Noomi Rapace plays a divorced mother of a son, but it soon…

The Reason ‘Hillbilly Elegy’ Is Getting So Many Bad Reviews
If you search for Hillbilly Elegy on the internet, you’ll find many critics with negative things to say about the film that is currently trending on Netflix. J.D. Vance is the author of the book and it’s his story that Vanessa Taylor turned into a screenplay for Ron Howard to direct. It’s basically the story of a young man who is graduating from Yale, but he’s called back to Middletown, Ohio to deal with a crisis that is plaguing his family. Amy Adams plays his mother who was a nurse at one time but has allowed addiction to take over her life. Glenn Close plays the “mawmaw” who takes on…

Yvonne Strahovski Will Blow Your Mind When You Find Out Her Amazing Secret
Lockdown had me watching shows I had never really gotten into before. Why I was never into Chuck is anyone’s guess. I must have been burned out from that type of genre back in 2007 when it first came on TV. But I got into it this time around and it’s all because of Yvonne Strahovski, my new Hollywood crush. Yes, I’m aware she’s happily married. Yes, I know they have a child. Sure, I’m quite aware that I would stand absolutely no chance even if those things weren’t going on in her life. So now that you’re done making sure I’m in touch with reality, can I get on with…

The Touching Story Of A Kitten Who Befriends An Abused Dog
Pixar has nailed it again. They do great work when they use their creative imaginations and mix that with their awesome ability to animate. I love seeing anything Pixar. So, I had to check out their new short film Kitbull. It’s about an unlikely friendship between what is commonly thought of as mortal enemies, a myth that has existed since the beginning of time. But the animal kingdom seems to surprise us all the time. For instance, when do a little cheetah and a skunk just hang out like this? How often does a lion befriend a little Weiner dog? What’s up with a monkey acting like a baby tiger’s big…

Gwyneth Paltrow’s Own ‘Shallow Hal’ Review Isn’t Too Positive
Gwyneth Paltrow doesn’t like her own movie. Shallow Hal was a blast to watch, but probably for all the wrong reasons. It was supposed to expose that one part in some people that is a little bit shallow, and it ended up exposing a little bit more than that. Gwyneth talks about the times when she put on her fat suit, no one would look her in the eye. Jack Black, hilarious as always, plays the part of the shallow guy who can only see what’s on a person’s surface. So, what was the story about? Was Shallow Hal seeing what he wanted to see or was he seeing her inner beauty?…
