Movie: The Color of Money I can’t add a lot to Dave Franklin’s article on Tom Cruise, in which he covered the excellent movie The Color of Money. This film is of course the sequel to Paul Newman’s classic Hustler. With a movie starring these two superstars, the memorable scenes were bountiful, especially considering that […]

Movie: Five Easy Pieces Jack Nicholson had several minor movie parts, like in The Little Shop of Horrors, before his first big role in Easy Rider. Before making the blockbuster films Chinatown and One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, he was in Five Easy Pieces, his first movie where he was the headliner. There is […]

Killer Klowns From Outer SpaceSynopsis
Aliens from outer space, dressed as clowns, terrorize a small town with cotton candy and popcorn. Why not circus peanuts?

Someone sent me Killer Klowns from Outer Space years ago; I think it was Steen or someone from the Roofless Forum. I’ve never bothered to watch this thing until tonight, and I’m glad I did. I didn’t realize that the great John Vernon was in this movie, reason enough to give this thing a spin […]

Movie: Ran “Man is born crying. When he has cried enough, he dies.” Ran is one of many masterful films created by one of the great Masters, Akira Kurosawa. The movie is based on the Shakespeare play, King Lear, as the elderly warlord retires and hands over his kingdom to his 3 sons. This decision […]
Andrew Tate: Hoisted By Hubris
December 30, 2022 by
2022 has been a banner year for celebrities setting themselves on fire. We had Will Smith’s career-ending stupidity at the Oscars and the never-ending story of the world’s richest fool, Elon Musk. As always, being an election year, there were a whole slew of Trump worshiping nitwits who all went down in a blaze of […]

It is no secret that I love my Christmas Movies. I have reviewed over 100 of them in the past decade. A Christmas Story is the #1 Christmas movie ever made and The Old Man is the most memorable Christmas Character to ever hit the big screen. With a bar this high, it is difficult […]

Holiday InnSynopsis
A singer and a dancer vie for the love of whatever blonde happens to be handy
Director

Marjorie Reynolds
Virginia Dale
Louise Beavers
Walter Abel
Holiday Inn is a Christmas classic that is just about white bread as a movie can possibly be. The people, the sets, the landscape, the language and politics are all blanched, bleached and hoary white. The only thing darker than the unfettered and ubiquitous snow was the token “Mammie” (Louise Beavers) and her two little […]

Well, he has done it again. Mr. “I’ll be making a formal complaint” about Ruthless Reviews has made yet another Christmas movie. I’m always objective, even with Steve Rudzinski’s self-serving garbage that he tries to masquerade as a movie, but let’s not kid ourselves. We all know that it will be terrible, but the only […]

Krampus: The Devil ReturnsSynopsis
A steaming pile of rancid, reeking turtle scrotums
Director
Jason HullCast
A random group of pimpled teen-agers from the Food Court at a Mall could do better
This will be a Christmas Movie Rant more than a movie review. Some movies don’t even deserve the title of “movie”, much less to be reviewed. The horror in this is not in the film, but the disgraceful “effort” that Jason Hull put forward in making this atrocity. According to IMDB, this putrid rendition of […]
