 Lyle,Lyle,Crocodile. Quick Review.  

A surprisingly safe execution for a potentially bewildering and bonkers premise.

When the trailer for Lyle,Lyle,Crocodile first dropped this writers impression upon first viewing is that we were looking at the next instant meme within the film world. Come on. It’s Shawn Mendes as a singing crocodile with songs by Pesek and Paul. . Evan Hansen’s feature adaptation to the beach From M night Shamalan’s Old probably doesn’t help. Even the choice of Mendes and the attempted…

Into The Further: Insidious: The Red Door Review

Pictured above is the Insidious: The Red Door poster.

Image Credit: Sony Pictures and BlumHouse

So, I was unsure whether to post this review this quickly, but after some decision making, I decided to write this review. This was also my first time seeing an Insidious movie in theaters but that won’t affect my review as I want to be unbiased and straight to the point, with that being said, let’s get straight to this spoiler free review of “Insidious: The Red Door”.

Insidious: The Red Door is a 2023 supernatural horror film directed by Patrick Wilson (who also stars in this movie, and this was his directorial debut), This movie was produced by James Wan and Jason Blum, the movies screenplay was written by Leigh Whannell and Scott Teems, the cast involves Patrick Wilson as Josh Lambert, Rose Byrne as Renai Lambert, Ty Simpkins as Dalton Lambert, Sinclair Daniel as Chris Winslow, Hiam Ambbass as Professor Armagan, Andrew Astor as Foster Lambert, Juliana Davies as Kali Lambert, Steve Coulter as Carl, Peter Dager as Nick the Dick, Justin Sturgis as Alec Anderson, Joseph Bishara as the Lipstick-Face Demon, Leigh Whannell as Specs, Angus Sampson as Tucker, and Lin Shaye as Elsie Rainier.

The Plot:

Josh Lambert heads east to drop his son, Dalton, off at school. However, Dalton’s college dream soon becomes a living nightmare when the repressed demons of his past suddenly return to haunt them both.

Positives:

One positive I have about this movie was the tone of the movie as it had a tone of finality for *THIS* chapter of the Insidious franchise. I enjoyed how dark this movie got for a PG-13 horror movie as it didn’t hold back on the scares…with that being said that also is a drawback which we will get to later. The demons were terrifying, I audibly said “Nope.” when one of them appeared.

Pictured above are 2 of the many demons the Lambert family faced in this movie.

The second positive I have about this movie were the performances especially Patrick Wilson and Ty Simpkins as father and son duo Josh Lambert and Dalton Lambert as they struggle to confront the demons of their past and present and it makes you root for them. Each cast member did a decent to great job in their roles. The demon performances were unsettling in a way that will make you feel a sense of disgust and discomfort. The third positive I have was the use of The Further and how terrifying it can get.

Pictured above is Ty Simpkins as Dalton Lambert with a familiar foe in the background.

Negatives:

One negative I have was the overreliance on jumpscares, I felt like if you want to terrify your audience, throw in a couple jumpscares, not 5-7, I loved the background scares this movie had and the payoffs to said background scares. But the jumpscares seemed a bit excessive. Maybe, I’m being a bit harsh on the jumpscare element of the movie.

The second negative I have was the pacing as some parts of the movie seemed to drag in the beginning, however that is just a knit pick. But overtime the movie picks up which is fantastic.

My overall thoughts:

While I didn’t love this movie, I enjoyed it, however, don’t let these negatives and positives affect your viewing experience of Insidious: The Red Door as I recommend checking it out whenever you get the chance to do so. Check it out in theaters, streaming, and physical media (when it comes out). At least it made $32.6 million at the box office in its opening weekend which is fantastic for horror. Okay, I know it seemed like I was ripping into this movie, but I mean it when I say go check it out whenever you get the chance.

Where to watch Insidious: The Red Door?

Insidious: The Red Door can currently be watched in theaters.

Post 799

“As a combat veteran U.S. Army infantryman --  I thought I might die and just went into “fight or flight” mode.”

Justin Moura, New Hampshire inmate 129056, born 1985, incarceration intake in 2020 at age 35, scheduled for parole consideration 02/28/2028, with full release on 02/25/2040

Manslaughter

The man accused of firing a gun at a moving Jeep, sending a bullet into the back of a Hudson mother of one, killing her, could spend a total of eight years in prison on a reduced charge of manslaughter.

Justin Moura was sentenced Tuesday to the New Hampshire State Prison for 12 to 24 years in the shooting death last year of Tanya C. Hall, 34, the mother of a then 18-month-old toddler.

The way the plea agreement was structured, however, Moura, 35, could be out of prison in seven years. The negotiated plea allows for a three-year reduction if he commits no violent crimes in the next two years and another one-year reduction if he earns an associate’s degree.  He also received credit for 366 days of pre-trial confinement.

Moura also must pay up to $25,000 to the New Hampshire Victims Compensation Fund.  Presently, Senior Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinckley said restitution totals $19,604.

Originally, Moura was charged with second-degree murder, which carries a maximum sentence of up to life in prison.

Hinckley said the state always viewed the crime as a reckless act and not one that Moura committed knowingly.  And, he said, what was factored into the plea agreement was that Moura turned himself in to police and surrendered the gun.  He said Moura showed genuine remorse and regret for his conduct.

Another factor, he said, was Moura’s service to the country doing two tours of duty in Iraq.  The sentence imposed provides punishment, deterrence and rehabilitation, and spares the family the ordeal of a trial, he said.

Moura, he said, maintained the gun accidentally fired and Hinckley said for the purpose of the negotiated plea, the state agreed. After the sentence was imposed by Hillsborough County Superior Court Northern District Judge Amy Messer, Moura was led out of the courtroom in handcuffs to be taken to the Concord prison.

The courtroom was packed with about two dozen family members and friends of Hall sitting behind prosecutors and about 40 family, friends and Moura’s fellow Bros Club members sitting on the opposite side behind defense attorneys.

Moura chose not to make a statement but his attorney Stephen Rosecan said: “We want to express our condolences to Miss Hall’s family.”

The shooting happened on the night of March 2, 2019.  Moura and Hall’s boyfriend, Jeremy Winslow, 34, of Manchester had a fight — pushing, shoving and punching, according to testimony from lead investigator Detective Kevin Jusza — on the dance floor of Club Manchvegas on Old Granite Street.  The two men knew each other and had had previous run-ins, according to police investigators.

After Winslow and Hall left the club,  two men followed them as they walked to Winslow’s Jeep parked in the lot across from the club.   The man in the lead was Moura, according to Jusza.

Police recovered a video recording of the area outside the club which showed Moura appearing to exchange words with Winslow, although Jusza said there was no audio.  Moura turned and walked away but Winslow, Moura told the detective, yelled out the window, “I’ll kill you.”

The Jeep then knocked Moura to the ground.  Moura, who served two tours of duty in Iraq as a U.S. Army infantryman, told the detective he thought he might die and went into  “fight or flight” mode.

Moura took out a loaded 9 mm semi-automatic handgun from his vest and ran after the Jeep.  He slipped on ice and the gun fired. Jusza said the rear passenger side window was shattered by the bullet which struck Hall in the back, killing her.

SPINNING GOLD (2023)

Starring Jeremy Jordan, Wiz Khalifa, Jason Isaacs, Jason Derulo, Jay Pharoah, Michelle Monaghan, Dan Fogler, Sebastian Maniscalco, Winslow Fegley, Ledisi, Sam Harris, Caylee Cowan, Chris Redd, James Wolk, Tayla Parx, Lyndsy Fonseca, Peyton List, Pink Sweats, Casey Likes, Alex Gaskarth, Michael Ian Black and Vincent Pastore.

Screenplay by Timothy Scott Bogart.

Directed by Timothy Scott Bogart.

Distributed by Hero Entertainment. 137 minutes. Rated R.

Neil Bogart was a larger-than-life legend in the music business, even if very few people other than music nerds like me still have a clue who he was.

Bogart ran Casablanca Record and Filmworks, which after a very rocky start became the most successful independent record label of the 1970s. Bogart worked with and/or discovered such acts as KISS, Donna Summer, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Bill Withers, The Village People, Parliament/Funkadelic and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts. He worked hard, lived hard, partied hard. He ran up monumental debts and threw legendary parties. He ran afoul of music biz execs and the mob. All of that before dying way too young at 39 of cancer.

It's a fascinating, under-explored story about the highs and the lows of the music business in its glory days. Bogart’s son Tim has long felt that it was important to tell his dad’s story and has been working to get his dad’s story on film since the 1990s. (Early on, Justin Timberlake was in talks to portray Bogart, although eventually he had to drop out because his musical schedule was packed, and he could not fit it in.)

Now, finally, after decades of waiting, Tim Bogart has gotten his father’s life story onscreen. He did it in a way that his own dad would appreciate – going the independent route and taking on the tough work (screenwriting and directing) himself, and basically willing it into existence.

“Getting that story out… is… moving for me,” Bogart told me in a recent interview. “I do think this is a great parallel in the perseverance and the dream I had in making it.”

Bogart has captured a fascinating look back at the wild west days of the old music world, sex, drugs and rock & roll back when it was safe and normal. Like many recent music biopics, Spinning Gold is a mix of hard reality and fanciful romanticization. Sometimes it feels like a serious gangster drama of the 1970s, at other times a jukebox musical with some damn good music provided by current singers playing the legends of days past.

While most of the celeb singers have the voices to pull off the roles, they mostly look almost nothing like the performers they are playing, such as Donna Summer, Gladys Knight and Bill Withers. Also, a personal note to Wiz Khalifa, in 1976 almost no one had nose piercings, not even someone as wild and funky and willfully out there as George Clinton. So you may want to take those things out when portraying a real-life character from another era.

However, I suppose this is not supposed to be a tribute act. The song is the thing, and mostly the re-recordings of legendary hits of the 1970s work surprisingly well.

Holding it all together – the ringleader of the film portraying the ringleader of Casablanca – is Broadway and TV star Jeremy Jordan (Newsies, Little Shop of Horrors, Supergirl) who can access both Bogart’s showmanship and hard-nosed determination. It’s a fascinating bit of myth-building.

“That was kind of Neil's vibe,” Jordan told me in that same interview. “He just wanted to make you dance and wanted to entertain. He was a showman.

“He's writing his own ending, and it is really kind of beautiful and magical and different in that way,” Jordan continued. “We don't feel tied to ultra reality, and this is the exact perfect way that this happened. It doesn't have to be [real] because it was sex, drugs, rock and roll. It was the journey as opposed to the actual truth of it all.”

You could say that about the 1970s in general.

Spinning Gold is spinning some fascinating tales of life on the periphery of superstardom and the high you reach by going all in and creating some genre-defining art. Plus, it’s got a great beat, and you can dance to it. What more can you ask?

Listen to LIVE - Justin Timberlake: Tiny Desk Concert

Stephen Thompson | March 15, 2024 Walking into the room shortly before Justin Timberlake took our cramped stage, I overheard someone on his team wondering aloud if this was to be the most densely populated Tiny Desk concert in history — which is to say, the most musicians we've ever fit in a single frame. It's not, but we don't often find a way to cram in this many human beings (15 in all) and this much gear.

Timberlake has never been one to give partial effort, but this is a production befitting the occasion: namely, a set timed to drop concurrently with the release of his new album, Everything I Thought It Was. Eschewing the rootsier feel of its predecessor, 2018's Man of the Woods, the new record is a throwback, an epic and a blowout — and so's this lavish set, which scales the Timberlake experience down to 25 minutes of maximalist celebration and, when the moment calls for it, chiller vibes.

Backed by his band The Tennessee Kids, Timberlake's Tiny Desk debut leans heavily on his early solo catalog, as he kicks it off with two songs from 2002's classic Justified and weaves in three more from 2006's magnificent FutureSex/LoveSounds — including a set-closing "SexyBack," which finds the singer trotting out a megaphone in a truly meme-worthy moment.

By the way, in case you're wondering, the all-time record for musicians behind the Tiny Desk is a whopping 23, a feat pulled off by the fantastic Mucca Pazza in 2015. But Timberlake and company rival that classic performance's energy — in both cases, the real triumph lies not in the Tetris of it all, but in the way that many people still find ways to move, buoyantly and as one mighty organism.

SET LIST "Señorita" "Rock Your Body" "Pusher Love Girl" "Until The End Of Time" "Selfish" "What Goes Around" "SexyBack"

Traded Allen signals change for the Chargers 

Statistically, Keenan Allen has been the best pass catcher the Los Angeles Chargers have ever had. And there have been some good ones over the years. John Jefferson. Charlie Joiner. Kellen Winslow and Antonio Gates to name a few.  Several days into the 2024 NFL’s free agency period, the Chargers said bye to Allen, trading the veteran wide receiver to the Chicago Bears for a fourth-round draft pick.  “What Keenan Allen has meant to the Chargers for more than a decade cannot adequately be expressed through mere words,” said Chargers President of Football Operations John Spanos.

What Allen has meant to the Chargers since he was drafted by the team in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft is somewhat immeasurable.  Without question, Allen was a fan favorite and just about the surest thing to catch the football that current Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert and former signal-caller Philip Rivers ever had.  Allen departs the organization as the franchise leader in the number of passes caught (904) and in receiving yards (10, 530). Allen is a six-time Pro Bowler and has six 1,000-yard seasons under his belt. In five of the seasons that he played for the Chargers, Allen caught 100 passes or more.   In 2023, Allen caught more passes than he ever had for the Chargers, coming up with 108 receptions for 1,243 yards and seven touchdowns. In layman’s terms, Allen was the bread and butter of the Chargers’ passing attack.  However, with the Chargers taking on a new general manager and head coach in the offseason, change has come to the Southern California franchise. Allen’s departure means the Chargers have parted ways with both of their starting wide receivers.  Early in free agency, the Chargers released Mike Williams. The team has also seen the exodus of running back Austin Ekeler, who took a two-year deal with the Washington Commanders via free agency.   In one week of free agency, the Chargers have cut ties with three of their top offensive playmakers in Allen, Williams, and Ekeler. If it was not clear before that the Chargers are embarking on a new era, the team’s recent moves now dictate the direction the franchise is headed towards. That starts with new head coach Jim Harbaugh and general manager Joe Hortiz. 

Sept. 22, 2019 - Mark Hammond/News4usonline - Los Angeles Chargers receiver Keenan Allen (13) had a big day against the Houston Texans. It’s going to take some getting used to for Chargers fans not seeing No. 13 out on the field using his sure-handed mittens to come up clutch as he has always done throughout his career.  Moving the chains was Allen’s specialty. Whenever the Chargers were in a bind, it was usually Allen who would come through with some spectacular catch to keep the ball in play for the Chargers.    “Keenan’s impact lives in the hearts of our fans, in the communities which he has served and amongst the countless teammates who have formed a brotherhood with him,” Spanos said. “There will only be one Keenan Allen, and we cannot thank him enough for the contributions he has made to our organization both on and off the field.”   Top Photo Caption: Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (13) caught a 7-yard touchdown throw from Philip Rivers in LA's 19-10 win against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, Dec. 3, 2017.
