I get roasted all the time for my negative opinion of Adam Sandler movies. I am very critical of the actor for his lazy films, which revolve mostly around dick and fart jokes. That stuff may have been funny when I was in the fifth grade, but at 35 it’s just annoying. Honestly, I wish […]
What started as a movie about drag racing, the “Fast and Furious” franchise has morphed into an over-the-top action romp with just enough heart to keep audiences coming out in droves. Make no mistake, “Fate of the Furious,” the eighth installment in the franchise, will not be its last. Two more sequels are expected by […]
In what was one of the best episodes of Monday Night Raw in years, the WWE Universe saw one man go on a warpath of destruction against another wrestler. I’m talking about Braun Strowman, the WWE’s new “Big Man.” Strowman is bigger than the Big Show, and more nimble than Kane or Undertaker. Face it, Strowman […]

For millions of wrestling fans around the world, a part of their childhood died on Sunday, April 2 at Wrestlemania when Roman Reigns put The Undertaker out of his misery.

It’s that time again wrestling fans – Wrestlemania is here! It’s the WWE’s version of the Superbowl for men in tights (and women too). This year’s showcase of the immortals will be taking place in Orlando, Florida. If the early pictures of the gigantic roller coaster being built mean anything, wrestling fans could be in for a […]
Gas up your little red corvettes and head to the Pageant on Saturday, April 15 for Graffiti Bridge: A Tribute to Prince. The idea came to fruition shortly after Prince’s death last year. Drummer Jeff Bradley decided to put together a group of musicians to pay tribute to the legendary performer. “This whole thing started last August,” Bradley […]
Take a bit of Alien and a splash of Gravity and what do you get? The outcome is Life, the new space-thriller starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds. Director Daniel Espinosa doesn’t change the game with Life, but the film is effective enough to keep your attention for just over 100 minutes. It tells the story […]
Dave Chappelle is back! The popular comic released a pair of comedy specials Tuesday on Netflix. The performances are part of a three-special deal that the comic inked with the streaming service. The first, Deep in the Heart of Texas, was filmed in Austin in 2015. While it brings the laughs, it’s nowhere near as funny as […]
Julian Barnes’ short, but well-received 2011 novel, The Sense of an Ending, had finally received the big screen treatment. Having never read the book, but being told what it’s about, the big screen version may fail to live up to the expectations of some readers. The film starts testing the patience of movie-goers immediately as Tony Webster, played […]
