Rush Hour 4? Jackie Chan Confirms Sequel

Rush Hour 4? Jackie Chan Confirms Sequel

Hopefully the legend Jackie Chan isn’t playing games with us and that if true, Chris Tucker is onboard. Rush Hour and it’s sequels were some of the funniest movies I remember in the 90’s and it would be amazing to see the duo on screen again.

Jackie Chan revealed in a radio interview that the next installment of Rush Hour is moving right along.

Chan starred alongside Chris Tucker in the cop…

Apple macOS High Sierra

Apple macOS High Sierra

If you’re an Apple user like me, you’ve seen the good, the bad, and the somewhat ugly when it comes to OSX. macOs High Sierra is to macOS Sierra what OSX Snow Leopard was to OSX Leopard: A mature, purposeful update, which focuses more on what’s under the hood than new features. It’s the type of update that trims the fat and perfects an already amazing operating system. Check out PCMag’s deep dive…

Transformers: The Last Knight Fails Beautifully

Transformers: The Last Knight Fails Beautifully

Transformers: The Last Knight is one of the WORST movies of the Transformers movie series. So much so, that I have dubbed this flick “Flaming Accelerating Runaway Trash Truck”. This “coveted” title was earned for the following reasons: 1. It stinks. 2. It’s loaded with garbage. 3. It moves too fast. 4. You want to look away, but you just can’t.

Once it comes to a stop, it leaves nothing but a…

The Get Down Part 2: Masterfully Poetic Gut-Wrenchingly Intense

The Get Down Part 2: Masterfully Poetic Gut-Wrenchingly Intense

Raw, Unapologetic Emotion, Ground Up And Served On A Bed Of Roses, With Fine China.

That’s my immediate reaction after the conclusion of Netflix’s “The Get Down Part 2”. Never have I longed for one more episode with all my soul, as I have with this manifestation of  pure creative genius. You too will find yourself describing your experience with The Get Down Brothers, in the same melodramatic…

Futurama Has Gone Mobile

Futurama Has Gone Mobile

Futurama, that other great show from the mind of Matt Groening, has been off the air since 2013 to the dismay of many long-time fans. Many thought they’d never hear from Fry, Leela, Bender, Professor Farnsworth, Hermes, Amy, Zoidberg and the rest of the Planet Express crew, but thanks to Jam City, via its game studio TinyCo, FoxNext Games, and Matt Groening, Futurama lives! As a game anyway…

Have you heard about Universal Fan Con? It’s a brand new convention coming to the Baltimore Convention Center in 2018 that features comics, cosplay, anime, larping, gaming, guest stars from TV and movies and more. This convention isn’t just giving popular lip service to diversity but actually IMPLEMENTING IT. This is literally going to be the first multi-fandom con dedicated to inclusion, highlighting women, LGBTQ, the disabled and persons of color. Don’t believe me? Just go look at the about page at universalfancon.com and check out who’s creating it.

Go look. I’ll wait.

Did I mention that stars like Phil Lamarr, Orlando Jones, Terri Doty, Sumalee Montano and Jeffrey Veregge are gonna be there? (Check out the Featured Guests Page) This is going to be BIG.

On April 27 (that’s next week guys) early bird tickets go on sale. I suggest you cop one. Oh wait. Did you already give to the kickstarter last year? Guess what?

You get complimentary tickets for LIFE.

Are You Raising an Adult or a Grown Child?

Are You Raising an Adult or a Grown Child?

Recently, a coworker told me that her 25 year old child, who is a college graduate, with a job, and an apartment, brought home his clothes for her to wash. Where was he you ask??? Out partying with hometown friends. BOOOOOY… I wish you would!!!! With all the things we have children doing…. OR NOT DOING… are we preparing them to be self-sustaining adults?

Parenting has changed a lot in the last 40…

"Injustice: Ground Zero" as Told by a Psychopath

“Injustice: Ground Zero” as Told by a Psychopath

“Injustice: Ground Zero” is  the next chapter of the Injustice comic book series, and it has taken a radical twist in storytelling.

Fun fact: I purchased my first comic book “Injustice: Gods Among Us – Year One” Issue One – when I was 40 years old. I was hooked. By the time I got to the end of issue one, I wanted more. I needed to know what happened next. Injustice was available every Tuesday. By…

The Problem with IT (2017) and Why Hollywood NEVER Gets Stephen King Adaptations Right

The Problem with IT (2017) and Why Hollywood NEVER Gets Stephen King Adaptations Right

I can confidently state that 90% of the TV and film adaptations of Stephen King’s literary works are garbage.

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Stephen King. When it comes to writing novels and telling good stories, I can think of no other writer that comes close. The immersive depth and intrigue in his writing has the ability to keep you guessing. Even years after completion, you still remember the…
