Jim Carrey channeling Ace Ventura when he plays Joe Biden is PERFECT. His critics are wrong. Why? It's simple: Laughter is cathartic, and Ventura/Biden taunting a fascist is objectively hilarious. If you can't see why, your funny bone is broken. I guarantee I'll...

It's a shame that "Leprechaun 2" wasn't the first film in the series. People tend to assume that the first movie in a horror franchise should be considered the "main" one, with all of the sequels being lesser by default. Yet while I am a big fan of one of the...

Watching "Pilgrim" is a bit like reading a great scary short story... but one in which a few key pages are missing near the end. To be clear, there is much more about "Pilgrim" that I liked than not. It is masterful in its use of suspense to build tension and, when it...

"Freeze! Get the hell away from her, Ed!" The iconic slasher villain Jason Voorhees was, like Michael Myers from the "Halloween" series, defined in part by his silence. The first eight "Friday the 13th" films only showed him talking as a child, when he was drowning to...

"Friday the 13th: A New Beginning" is perhaps the most obscure film in the classic "Friday the 13th" series. It does not deserve that fate for three reasons: (1) It contains some of the most interesting characters in the franchise, (2) It includes some of the most...

I can't stop thinking about a Trump airplane that appears in the beginning of "The Limo," an episode in Season Three of the classic 1990s sitcom "Seinfeld." As the cliché goes, you might miss it if you blink, but it's there all right. After main character Jerry...

Seeing "Saw IV" was a life-changing experience for me, and in all the wrong ways. For some nerds that movie is "Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace." For others it's "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" or "Man of Steel." You know what I mean....

If you're a leftist and a fan of no-holds-barred gory horror flicks, there is one movie that you should watch every Halloween: "Saw VI," one of the best satires of the American healthcare system ever released by a major Hollywood studio in a tentpole franchise. I am...

There is a funny thing about the "Final Destination" franchise. If you're talking about the five films that were released between 2000 and 2011 (I am not familiar with the book series or planned reboots), it is safe to say that you genuinely liked the first film,...

Pennsylvania, the state that I have been proud to call home for more than two decades, is poised to decide the 2020 presidential election... and there is no legitimate way Trump can win this state. Even if he garners the most votes, a Trump victory in Pennsylvania...
