Not everybody makes enough of an impact in life to where they can get a film made about themselves. If you do reach that point, it means you’ve either done something really well or something horribly wrong. In the case of Donald Trump well, clearly there are people on both sides of that spectrum who would happily advocate for a film about him. As it turns out, one of those films exists and was just shown at the Cannes Film Festival. Following it’s premiere, the filmmakers are now being threatened with a lawsuit by the campaign of a criminal defendant…

Event planning isn’t easy and don’t let anyone tell you it is. It’s so easy for things to go off the rails when you have to try and account for unknown variables. If it’s a public event you can guess how many people will show up but you can always over and under estimate that. Plans can change, attempts at organization can fail, basically anything and everything can potentially go wrong. If you don’t know this for yourself, you can just ask the people at the Las Vegas Dirt Dog restaurant about their Bluey Day event. On May 11th, one…
Last month we were happy to report that there had been a good swell of momentum in a new sequel to the 2002 zombie film, “28 Days Later.” Announced as a trilogy, beginning with “28 Years Later,” some big names are already involved. (Specifically Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, and Ralph Fiennes.) While that line-up is certainly nothing to sneeze at, it did leave the question open regarding the original film’s star, Oscar winner Cillian Murphy. After all, it was really his first starring role in a major film, would this new series bring him back? We’ve got our answer now.…
When can you have TOO MANY dinosaurs? Well, you could argue when Jurassic Park opened, there were a few too many, in-universe and out. There’s also the situation with chicken nuggets shaped like the prehistoric beasts and maybe you unfroze more than you needed, resulting in too many dino nuggies. For the town of Drumheller in Alberta, Canada though- they had too many dinosaurs of a different kind. Unfortunately, the surplus of saurian cost them a chance at a world record. Before diving into this, you have to understand that Guinness World Records will certify almost anything if it really…
When “X-Men ’97” was announced to be a new continuation of the classic Fox Kids cartoon, fans of the show got very happy very fast. There was a lot of hope for it to succeed, and reason to believe it would by respecting the series legacy. Efforts like bringing back members of the original voice cast, the iconic theme song, and picking up where the original story ended, all boded well for the Disney+ animated series. With all these things in place, the only question left was whether or not the show could deliver the goods, so to say. Boy…
Even if you’ve never been to Las Vegas, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of The Mirage. Opened in 1989, it was the start of a new era for the city that was previously known for crime and gambling. This was an image the city desperately wanted to shake off as the economic prosperity of the early to mid ’90s was coming into full swing. Vegas wanted to be the family destination, the resort city that offered something for everyone. The Mirage was front and center in that transitional period. Just like the illusion it shares its name with however,…
“Road House” will go down in cinematic history as one of the most ridiculously entertaining films of all time. The original one that is; the one with Patrick Swayze, Kelly Lynch, and Sam Elliott. We can’t really say we were surprised when a remake was greenlit, after all, everything’s been getting a remake over the last decade or so. What we didn’t expect was for it to finally happen with Jake Gyllenhaal and Conor McGregor. But somehow it happened, and if new reports are to be believed, it looks like it may be happening again. We didn’t particularly find the…
Boxing used to be a sport with a sense of pride and dignity to it. Yes, it’s violent and aggressive, but it has a physicality to it that is supposed to put two fighters on even ground, to prove who is the the better fighter. It’s supposed to illustrate who can outfight the other given a set of rules and a fight style that is fairly set, yet still has room for variation, finesses, and technique. Over the last several years, Jake Paul has made a mockery of this and that disgrace is set to continue in his upcoming fight…
Weddings are one of those special moments where you can only hope, pray, and prepare for things to go well. Invariably, there’s always at least one thing that goes awry; such is the nature of life. Sometimes a dress gets torn, sometimes someone gets sick, the priest messes up a line, a potentially venomous snake shows up… Oh, well maybe the last one didn’t happen to you or someone you know, but it did happen a couple of days ago at a wedding ceremony in Arizona. Few creatures on this planet can cause as much fear and dread as a…
There are few game shows that have stood the test of time and have remained culturally relevant. In the daytime, you have “The Price is Right.” But at night you have the double whammy (make your own “Press Your Luck” joke here) of “Wheel of Fortune” and “Jeopardy!.” Merv Griffin’s two creations have been packaged together in syndication for years, but it’s the later of which that has become a symbol of intellectual achievement. So let’s say we shake things up a bit and make a new version that focuses less on geography and potent potables, and more on popular…
