I have a terrible memory in general, but one thing I have a great recall of are the various routines of the Marx Brothers. As a very young child, I was a fan of Laurel and Hardy or Abbott and Costello, who I'd watch after school. It took me a few years to… Continue reading
Earlier today I saw a trailer for the modern blaxploitation picture Black Dynamite, which you can find on the official website. In fact, you not only can find it there, but you almost certainly should go and watch it there right now. Because when I say modern… Continue reading
Since there hasn't been an Indiana Jones movie in almost 20 years, it's understandable that there would be a lot of hoo-ha about it on the internet. One of my sick fascinations are ‘Best Of' lists. Half of the internet is currently made out of lists,… Continue reading
