PG-13 | 2h 3m | Comedy | March 10, 2023 On paper it sounds like a sure-fire, totally-politically-incorrect comedy hit: Woody Harrelson starring; a Farrelly brother (“Kingpin,” “There’s Something About Mary”) directing; and a basketball team worth of mentally challenged players. Maybe a pre-woke American culture, plus an early Farrelly brothers (meaning raunchy and completely shameless) version would have…
Film Review: ‘Champions’: A Bit Exploitative but Pretty Harmless and Cute

The myths behind the German and Soviet soldiers are true, in the sense that the former were victorious by their military acumen and the latter were victorious by sheer mass.

It’s a hot summer day. A professor is preparing his lectures in his home office. He stretches and takes a much-needed break. He opens a window of his study to take in some fresh air and sunshine, and of course, to admire his garden. He notes with satisfaction that the seeds he planted the previous…
Field of Feelings: When Thoughts Show Physical Impact on Cellular Level
“Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy.

Film Reviewer Michael Clark’s 2023 Oscar Picks

Grover Cleveland often gets categorized as a president of trivial significance. Trivial as in trivia. He is known as the only president to serve two non-consecutive terms, the only president to get married inside the White House, and a president who underwent a secret and potentially life-saving surgery on a yacht. He was also the…
