Week of August 10, 2026

Here’s a rundown of my week.

Chum

Chum stars Alice Eve and her massive cleavage as a gal who, along with her husband and friends, is used as shark bait off the coast of Malta.

The shark being off the coast of Malta is because of global warming. The audience knows this because Alice looks straight into the camera at the end of the movie to tell us such.

The CGI shark is pretty bad, every kill pretty epic, and every victim full of probably 26 gallons of blood. Lots of violence. Drug use. No nudity. Grab a 12 pack, give it a watch and let me know what ya’ think.

Random Quote

“It helps with the masculinity crisis in that reading is masculine. It is a masculine thing to do. The Hemingways of the world were out there. It used to be a badass thing to be a writer, and a brave thing to put your thoughts onto the page and publish them.” - Anthony Jeselnik.

Burnt Orange

But don’t judge.

Napoleon

Yes, I wrote about Napoleon’s member.

It’s an insane story.

Brothers Under Fire

Brothers Under Fire is a pretty bad movie. It stars Kiefer Sutherland as a 60-year-old combat soldier and Laura Osma (pictured) as a plain Jane teacher from a small village in Mexico. Neither of these is believable. The plot – as it is - sees Kiefer and his team go to Mexico for a wedding only to fight the cartel. This is one of those, “Man this could have been so much better movies.” Very disappointing.
Lots of violence. Drug use. No nudity. Oh well, grab a 12 pack and see what you think.

Remember kids, it’s not that the world is out to get you.

It’s that’s the world doesn’t care about you.

Tiger Tales from the Acuña Cartel : A Jett Turner Misadventure: Book #1

Welcome to the insanity that is my life.

The name’s Jett Turner and my early retirement to a lake on the Texas – Mexico Border was supposed to be fun and easy going. It didn’t involve me writing up the twisted exploits of the head of the Acuña Cartel, reporting such to the DEA, or watching pandas blow up, people being fed to tigers, or learning about the bodily functions of the tortured. In addition, I have to deal with a morbidly obese shut in, a woman hell bent on collecting the last of my student loans, a hairless chimp named Patty, a giant named Koko, a housekeeper set on cleansing my soul, and a sexual deviant, Larry McMurtry quoting professor. Toss in a beautiful call girl named Laredo Rose, a cheerleader of a waitress with her jaw wired shut, and a traitor of a dog that listens to everyone but me and you get an idea of what I have to deal with on a daily basis.

This first misadventure that is my life is rated R for language, crude humor, and insanely bizarre circumstances but rates an A+ for all of the aforementioned and entertainment value.
