Read MoreMovie Review: “Insidious: Out of the Further”
By Bob Garver The big drawback to getting in an advance review of “Coyote vs. Acme” last week is that “Insidious: Out of the Further” is even less relevant this week. The horror film toppled from second place to fourth at the domestic box office, behind even the seventh weekend of “The Odyssey,”…
Read MoreCoffeeTime: ENCOURAGE HIS DREAMS
Send responses to: andybowman839@gmail.com So. You are a parent of a five-foot five-inch, sixteen-year-old son. A son whose dream is to be a professional basketball player.

Read MoreMovie Review: Advance Review – “Coyote vs. Acme”
By Bob Garver The dialogue-free Road Runner/Wile E. Coyote cartoons are my favorite of the Looney Tunes. No jokes centered around annoying accents or speech impediments, just pure physical comedy about a hapless carnivore and his Ahab-like obsession with catching and eating a skinny flightless bird.

Read MoreMovie Review: “One Night Only”
By Bob Garver It takes a very generous suspension of disbelief to enjoy “One Night Only.” The film is set in a not-too-distant future where premarital sex is outlawed, save for one night a year. Comparisons to “The Purge” are inevitable, which to me raises an interesting question: Which would lead to more…
