So in one of my recent posts, I bad-mouthed Democracy Now and Amy Goodman for their brief report that mentioned George Zimmerman in a contorted and biased manner. As I said earlier, independent news can be biased too, just like mainstream news such as Fox and CNN. That being said, bias has its uses. Democracy … Continue reading Follow-up comment regarding Democracy Now

Just because it’s independent doesn’t mean it isn’t biased: A response to Democracy Now’s report: “Florida State Attorney Behind Trayvon Martin Case Defeated”
First I should mention my history with Democracy Now, a 1 hour independent news program that airs Monday through Friday on the Link Channel and on Los Angeles KCET 28 (my local channel). I was introduced to this program many many years ago by a friend of mine, but my viewings of the program have … Continue reading Just because it’s independent doesn’t mean it isn’t biased: A response to Democracy Now’s report: “Florida State Attorney Behind Trayvon Martin Case Defeated”

I'm always interested in films that have been banned for unjust reasons.
Path to Paradise Review
"Great. Freedom of religion protects a bunch of murdering fanatics. And if these guys feel like blowing us off with a line of sermon there's not a goddamn thing we can do about it. Back home the police would be shoving barb wire up their asses. No wonder they all come here." "America. A great … Continue reading Path to Paradise Review

Jack the Bear Review
Taking a break from my 9/11 film reviews- "What? But you just got started!" "Shutup. It's my blog and I'll do what I want." I'm curious about films like these I missed out on during my childhood. 90s kid films that are genuine in their intentions and aren't comedies that use dumb slapstick humor. Pretty … Continue reading Jack the Bear Review

Kubo and the Two Strings Review
"If you must blink, do it now." Like we needed you to tell us that. Yeah it's not bad. Wouldn't say I thought it was quite the masterpiece others have made it out to be, but it's better than the second batch of trailers led me to believe. When I saw the first trailer for … Continue reading Kubo and the Two Strings Review
