How long to wait before we capitalize on a tragedy. 4. When art transcends admiration. 5. Eurotrip: The Movie we don't have now. Liam Nesson takes the low road, on purpose.

Recently, Warner Bros. released The Meg as proof that sharks are not bankable unless you make them silly. As frightening a creature as sharks seem, they are never good subjects for a movie. There are very few plots involving sharks in which to script an original film. Depending on the idea, a thrilling shark movie should never be over-conceptualize…

My Oscar ballot results suck. The Academy’s disappointment wins. Moonlight wins over the much acclaimed La La Land Crash gets the statue over Brokeback Mountain, the favorite to win. Green Book was good enough to win, but not the only choice to lose against ‘the people’s’ favorites. Some great film moments of 2018. We the audience are the Academy. …

Looking back on this movie in relation to the title of the film, there should be a more artist approach to this biopic for the band Queen and not the man Freddy Mercury. At face value, Bohemian Rhapsody is a paint-by-the-numbers biopic without the celebratory weight of a meaningful story. They dangle Freddy Mercury on screen just long enough for us…

Halloween has a newfound popularity rooted in a remake that is a sequel (a remakequel) to the beginnings of a franchise relaunch. Not new material, but there’s a case for simplicity with horror movies that over time lost to the evolving use of special effects and jump scares. Halloween (2018) wasn’t a great movie; however, it is what this genre nee…

Remakes and Franchises make movie watching boring these days. Same ol’ this and with a sprinkle of that thing already imagined. Jurassic World and Ocean’s 8 are two examples of films —this summer— whose failure to deviate from the plot and character development of it’s precursors to produced a final product that hit all the marks of fanfare but lac…

Black Panther is the only black James Bond we need. He has the tech, a suave demeanor, and the well intent to undermine criminal minds who threaten his nations. It would be great to have a black James Bond character on the big screen but as long as he or she is not James Bond and more Bond-like. I’m bored of remakes and studio attempts to reinsert …

Solo is an entertaining movie and could possibly be more to audiences if we could accept him --the individual, Solo-- as the main character rather than a sidekick who just so happens to be the baby daddy to certain Skywalker progeny. This movie isn't necessary to the canon, however, has the potential to payout and entertaining storyline if we care …

In two movies, Disney and Marvel, (kinda) redefined or rather reintroduced the sympathetic villain into the mainstream zeitgeist: Kilmonger and Thanos. We may not like the pain Thanos inflicts on Earth's Mightiest Heroes in Avengers Infinity War but you gotta like the guy; he has conviction and purpose. Sure he's crazier than a raccoon climbing a s…

Blade Runner continues the conversation it began thirty-five years ago with an even deeper questioning into the morality of creating life. Life finds a way. Since Jeff Goldblum stuttered those words in the first Jurassic Park, the question of life coming into being outside the control of its creator is not just a popular quote but a think well cons…

Aliens, they fit into neither the category of monster or creature but fall into the unknown. We don't fear them as much as we are intrigued by them. Give us a reason to be afraid and I'm sure we'll piss our pants. But until that time comes curiosity will have to reign supreme within the space of our feeble minds.

The 80’s welcomed in a different type of horror movie which steered away from the fear of the atomic 50’s and the boujee-ness of the 1960’s Euporean bloodsuckers. Horror did not necessarily include monsters but monstrous figures committing monstrous acts. In the late 70’s and 80’s, the movie monster replaced cheesy storylines with utter suspense an…

Horror movies of 2017 with This, That, and Other News.By JJ Wayne Graham

In September of 2016, we recorded an episode that never made it to post-production. Sometime during this awesome recording of Freddy galore, the recording stopped and we lost the better part of our program. Although we could never recreate that moment, I pieced together an episode filled with a semblance to our true intentions on that faithful afte…

What is it about fear that intrigues us? Is it the mystery of the unknown or the thrill of the experience that we find so alluring? Some people are born fearful while in others fear comes with living our everyday lives and encountering things that make us feel uneasy or apprehensive. Either manifested from our now psychosis or an event, fear is nat…

Dolls make bad roommates, however, if you really feel the need to own such an empty vessel with no personality and frightful glaze, then get a cat. No, not a cat instead of the doll.

I wrote a story called King Up High about a man who must make it from opposite ends of the city to a high-rise building during the most dangerous day of the year: Purge Night.

Is Wonder Woman as much a triumph for women within the Hollywood industry is it just a much-needed victory for Warner Bros. and the DCEU universe? Unlike the movies from its cinematic predecessors, Wonder Woman opened the weekend to prescreening praise and that highly sought after Rotten Tomatoes score. With so much animosity over the validity of c…

Guardians of the Galaxy is a celestial space painting that maintains the fun of the comic book genre with bright lights, witty banter, and a great soundtrack to overlay what is another great achievement for every VFX artist, writer, and cinematographer who worked to make this film an enjoyable and successful sequel. If you strip away the cosmic spa…

White washing aside let's talk about how the live action Ghost In the Shell rinsed away the essence of a completely good storyline for the appeal of everyone who did not read the manga, watch the 1995 anime or the Standalone Complex series and likely never will. In other words, the mass audience of movie goers who could care less about a cyborg who…

Logan isn't a statement to harold Rated-R comic book movies; it's not a good adaptation of the comic book series,; it's not the best superhero themed movie. What Logan is, is a good movie about the fate of a man whose life was no longer worth fighting to defend.By JJ Graham

Will audiences remain Split over M. Night Shyamalan? Short answer, yes. Long answer, here in this episode. For starters: the newer generation or Millennials are unwitting to Shyamalan's filmmaking pedigree. They did not have to suffer or endure the turbulent times of the early 2000’s when Shyamalan made films consistently. People bought tickets wan…

We recorded the very first episode of Talking With Burritos in February of 2014.

Ghostbusters isn't getting a sequel. Well, that's what the word is now based on projections that the remake film is likely to post a seventy million dollar loss.
