Here’s the thing about Captain Marvel, with expectations incredibly high. Its place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is troublesome, not because it is a bad movie or the character isn’t compelling, but it needed to set the stage for the character’s appearance in Avengers: Endgame which came out in theaters just a couple of months…
I wasn’t completely sure what to expect putting Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band in my player. I remember seeing the film when it was in theaters back in 1978. I didn’t remember much of the plot, and at the time I only had a passing knowledge of The Beatles, but my memory of the…
I will freely admit to not being readily eager to watching Cars 3. After Cars 2 I wasn’t sure if the franchise had enough to tell a third story. While there’s a bit of a plot retread with the first film, it works. A new racer is taking the Piston Cup circuit by storm. Ha….

Starting off with “I Haven’t Got A Hat” this five disc collection features every Porky Pig cartoon from his debut in 1935 on through 1943’s “Porky Pig’s Feat” – which means there are a lot of not only black and white cartoons here, but several less politically correct ones. For example “Westward Woah” features Native…
While we aren’t getting Disney animated shorts with the same frequency as we used to, there are at least we are getting something in the way of Mickey stories. There is a new series in an animation style that older fans are certainly are going to have to get used to – the style seems…
I don’t know how many years it has been since I’ve seen Dudes. When it came out in the late 80s I was 20 and well into punk rock. In a way I romanticized the lead characters here, New York City punk rockers who decide to go to the promised land of California. There is…
