"Freejack" is a weird little movie for a variety of reasons. Perhaps it was just too ahead of its time with its themes of bodily autonomy and technological terror. Maybe its combination of cyberpunk traits made it too similar to movies like "Blade Runner" for audiences at the time to admire it by itself. And of course, maybe the film was just too ambitious for its own good, resulting in ideas that sound amazing in theory but fall flat in execution. There's been a small movement to reevaluate "Freejack," and if we're being completely honest, we wouldn't be opposed to that within reason.
One pivotal scene from the film is likely remembered by two different groups of people. One of these groups, of course, unironically enjoys Geoff Murphy's attempt at adapting Robert Sheckley's "Immortality, Inc." for modern audiences. The other group, however, are the New Yorkers caught in...

"Fantasia" was always something of a cursed dream, whether the man behind the wheel was Walt Disney or his nephew Roy E. Disney. In 1940, the anthology of short animated films set to classical symphonies was the backdrop to immense innovation in the world of animation, which had already been redefined by Disney in feature films like "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" and "Pinocchio." However, "Fantasia" was different, bold in its design and marriage of disparate forms, with no conventional narrative.
It was a passion project for Walt, who saw that it could be the "birth of a new concept," according to John Culhane's 1983...

Studies indicate much of the vaccination gap in America is due to political partisanship. Take The Kaiser Family Foundation’s July 8 report which showed counties that voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election have an 11.7 percent higher rate of vaccination than those that voted for Donald Trump. Something has to be done about the rampant misinformation spreading in conservative media.

Two videos, recently uploaded on those lovely series of tubes known as the Internet, show possible alternate versions of two of the most beloved blockbusters of all time. First off, we get one of those typical '80s making-of documentaries where the host pretends to interact directly with the audience a good twenty years before video chat became available to the general consumer. During the eight-minute doc, Disney historian John Culhane takes us through the early developmental stages of a pre-Robert Zemeckis attempt to bring “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” to the big screen. Between 1981 and 1983, a group of Disney animators worked on an earlier effort to clear Roger’s good name, which laid the groundwork for Zemeckis’ version. The most fascinating detail from this attempt is that Roger was supposed to be voiced by Paul Reubens, a.k.a. Pee Wee Herman. It’s interesting to note that a...
