Box Office Failures Week: Glitter (2001)
Mariah Carey went into this movie as probably the biggest diva on the planet, having emancipated herself from her first marriage to Tommy Mottola and her contract with Columbia Records to become exactly who she wanted to be. She also pretty much lost her mind. As she started the publicity tour for this movie, she’d […]
Kill Ben Lyk (2018)
Three Ben Lyk’s have been murdered in London, so Scotland Yard puts all of the people with that name together until it can figure out why. Yes, a masked killer with a strange mask is wiping them all out. And that would be a bad thing for anyone but one of the Ben Lyks (Eugene Simon, […]
Goalie (2019)

Robert Mammone, who played Blanka in Street Fighter and opposed “Stone […]

If you ever wondered: Is there a film with an almost $20 million dollar price tag that the acting and technical unions had to shut down because none of the actors or crew were paid? Is there a film that still hasn’t been released—thirteen years after it completed production? More importantly: Is there a film […]
