It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

Trump, for over a decade: "I wouldn't give him a state dinner." This week: A full state dinner at the White House for China's Xi Jinping, complete with the arrival ceremony, a gift, and billionaires everywhere.

Masters of the Universe was an incredibly fun movie. It's action packed, constantly funny, and it cleverly and lovingly applies the source material while still breaking new ground. It's rises well above simple nostalgia bait. Best toy based movie since Barbie! I highly recommend it!

Here's a limerick I wrote for St. Patrick's Day. Trump was never know for his guile, But now he's dumb AND senile. Without making a plan, He said "let's bomb Iran," So they'll forget I'm a huge pedophile."

Myths can tell us much about where we've come from. They can also be keys to understanding the present. Their universal themes are as relevant today as they were millennia ago. One unspoken reason behind Trump's disastrous war on Iran can be found in a myth of a neighboring region: Gilgamesh. (1/17)

I saw Psycho Killer last night. It was SO bad and the killer’s devil worshipping aspects were SO cliche, that I left the theater to check if it was one of those Christian movies that’s marketed like a normal movie. It wasn’t, which somehow makes it worse. Awful in every way. Not even worth a stream.

Top 10 Horror Movies of 2025 No. 1 Bring Her Back This is the movie that stuck with me the most. It hits on several levels by blending primal moments of horror that make you recoil with profoundly tragic elements of loss, abuse, guilt, grief, and the knowledge things can’t be set right. #horror2025

Top 10 Horror Movies of 2025 No. 2 Weapons Told out of order, the perspective shifts allow the ambiguity of the horror to weigh you down and keep you disjointed. When the truth is revealed, it’s unexpected, bizarre, and gives us a new horror icon. It’s an instant genre classic. #horror2025

Top 10 Horror Movies of 2025 No. 3 The Rule of Jenny Pen The loss control and cognition to age is terrifying, and someone weaponizing that to torment others just for kicks is evil. The trailers made this look supernatural, but reality is far more horrifying. Lithgow and Rush are great. #horror2025

Top 10 Horror Movies of 2025 No. 4 Sinners Amazing film. The music transcending time scene is one of the most incredibly powerful scenes ever. The vampires a metaphor works well too, but the movie leading up to that is so good that I feel the horror detracts from my overall enjoyment. #horror2025

Top 10 Horror Movies of 2025 No. 5 Strange Harvest One of the best found footage films in years. It examines the hunt for Mr. Shiny a bizarre, vicious serial killer with motives rooted in the occult. While there are some found footage faux pas, the story and horror will keep you hooked. #horror2025

Top 10 Horror Movies of 2025 No. 6 The Ugly Stepsister A delightfully twisted & revolting take on Cinderella that tells the tale from the perspective of Elvira—a stepsister who takes extreme measures to become beautiful enough to win the prince’s heart. A great semi-comedic body horror. #horror2025

Top 10 Horror Movies of 2025 No. 7 Bone Lake A great thriller about two couples that rent the same house. It’s obvious that one pair set it up to mess with the other, eschewing the obvious twist for far more demented reveals. It goes hard in its final act and deserves more attention. #horror2025

Top 10 Horror Movies of 2025 No. 8 Good Boy The film’s premise—a haunting from a dog’s perspective—is executed masterfully. Although the ghost stuff is fairly standard, the way it’s presented is unique, suspenseful in a different way, and instantly memorable. Indy deserves an award! #horror2025

Top 10 Horror Movies of 2025 No. 9 Silent Night, Deadly Night SHOCKINGLY good, the biggest surprise of 2025, and the only franchise film on my list. It clearly loves the original but alters the plot and characters enough to make something different, clever, fun, fresh, and satisfying. #horror2025

Top 10 Horror Movies of 2025 No. 10 Shelby Oaks This film didn’t get much love but I liked how the found footage part set up the rest of it. The ensuing mystery is suspenseful, creepy and disturbing, albeit a bit predictable. It goes all in on the supernatural. That might be a drawback. #horror2025

Top 10 Horror Movies of 2025 Honorable Mentions Frankenstein: Beautiful and well performed, but very disappointing. If Del Toro loves the book so much why SO MANY pointless changes? Companion: Great concept. It gave me cognitive dissonance as I rooted for the AI bot to kill the humans. #horror2025

Top 10 Horror Movies of 2025 Before the best I want to give you my 3 worst. To be fair I didn’t watch every horror release in 2025. I intentionally avoided stuff I knew would be bad, like Strangers 2, the Popeye and Micky crap, and The Ritual, so there were probably worse horror movies. #horror2025
