One of my more political cartoons from the late 1980s and early 1990s. Can’t tell you how many people looked at this one and said, “I don’t get it.”

Here’s an old cartoon I drew back in 1990.

Another classic cartoon by me. What was I thinking giving up on this?

Another one of my cartoons. This one is based on a true story. And there is a typo.

Another one of my cartoons from back in the day.

Wanted to be a cartoonist for a long time. Even was for a little while. This was done 23 years ago.

Another attempt at being a cartoonist.

Another attempt at being a cartoonist.

America watched in fascination when the news broke that three women, all missing and presumed dead for the better part of a decade, had been found and rescued in Cleveland. Those of us not from the Cleveland area knew little, … Conti

A lot of people have been emailing me about the status of the second book, wanting to know if and when it will ever be out. Yes, the second book will be out. I’m way behind schedule on it, but … Continue reading →

I saw Warlords of Atlantis in the theater when it came out, but somehow I don’t remember anything about it, other than my mother saying, “I’m never taking you to the movies again.” Apparently, the movie is that bad. The …

I know, It’s been a while since I’ve posted an entry into the Movie Poster Hall of Fame (or posted anything for that matter). Sorry. I’ve been busy. Here we have a great poster from THE DRIVER, directed by Walter … Cont

I know that it’s be a while since I’ve posted anything, and for that I apologize. Several people have pointed out the deafening sound of my recent silence, and have mistaken a lack of posts with a lack of work … Continue reading &

BAMF’s Blaxploitation Archive is a collection of reviews originally written in the 1990s that appeared in the pages of BadAzz MoFo. This review and many others have been reprinted and collected in BadAzz MoFo’s Book of Blaxploitation, Volume One, which …

It’s been a while since the last entry into the Movie Poster Hall of Fame, for which I apologize. Since it is February, and this is Black History Month, I figured we’d take the opportunity to showcase Larry Cohen’s classic …

This was first posted on January 21, 2008. I’m reposting it now, because aside from the fact that Barack Obama has now served a full term as President of the United States, and back then he was just one of … Continue reading U

I’m not sure if Sergio Corbucci was a balls-out Communist, or a Marxist, but he was definitely a cynic who leaned far to the left, which was reflected in his westerns as early as Django. In his earlier films, Corbucci … Continue rea

Initially, I had no plans to write about Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained. But in the weeks since its release, as so many people have chimed in—both negatively and positively—I regularly find myself being asked my thoughts about the movie, and …

It’s not that I didn’t like director Benh Zietlin’s Beasts of the Southern Wild, because there were certainly aspects of the film I appreciated. The production design was amazing, parts of the story were compelling, and the performances by Quvenzhané …
