Retro Movie Review: ‘True Romance,’ Starring Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette
So, 1993 brought just an onslaught of great films. Films like Jurassic Park, Dazed and Confused and Tombstone all cracked The Good Doctor’s Top 25 List of All-Time Favorite Flicks, however, there was one that stood out over all of them. That film was True Romance. The ultra-violent, love story of Clarence and Alabama Worley. […]
Kingdom Coming to Netflix July 1
One of the most underrated television shows in recent memory will finally get an audience that it deserves. The MMA driven drama series Kingdom will begin airing on Netflix on July 1. All three seasons will be available to stream. Kingdom first aired on the now-defunct Audience Network by AT&T. I happened to overhear Joe […]

AJ Schnack may reside in Los Angeles these days, but the Edwardsville, Il. native and University of Missouri graduate showed off his Midwestern roots in Long Gone Summer, the new ESPN 30-For-30 film about the 1998 home run chase between Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa.

Theatre Review: HEAD OVER HEELS Keeps the Beat Going Strong at New Line
I had completely forgotten how many hits The Go-Go’s had – and then I saw Head Over Heels at New Line Theater. Song after song, expertly choreographed number after number, it’s safe to say that this show has the beat! It’s a pretty unique jukebox musical, adapted from the 16th Century Elizabethan play The Countess […]
Movie Review: Bloodshot; Starring Vin Diesel, Guy Pearce
If you thought Vin Diesel’s The Pacifier was bad, wait until you get a look at Bloodshot, his latest stinker. Calling this turd bad is an understatement. If I could have walked out, I would have. Perhaps the story sounds good on paper: Diesel is a super-powered, unstoppable soldier who is out for revenge. Could […]
Movie Review: The Way Back, Starring; Ben Affleck
The Way Back, Ben Affleck’s new film, is without a doubt, the best work he’s ever done. Affleck’s new film in a lot of ways is more than just a movie. It’s a comeback of one of Hollywood’s most polarizing actors. It’s also not flashy, like Batman or Argo. Affleck has never been rawer in […]

St. Louis improved to 3-1 on the season, 2-0 at home, while Seattle dropped to 1-3. Ta’amu credited the entire offense with the victory. […]
Movie Review: The Invisible Man, Starring Elizabeth Moss
I must admit that I was a skeptic going into The Invisible Man, the new film directed by Leigh Whannell, starring Elizabeth Moss. Whannell and Moss take no prisoners in the remake, as both the director and actress know how to create suspense. Moss carries the film by herself for a majority of the 2-hours […]
