THE BATMAN movie review by Steven Skelley
The first thing you need to do is block all the previous movies and actors from your memory. What this movie does best is stand on its own without the need to wink back at any other version. This is a dark, gritty crime drama where the lead detective fights his own demons as much as he fights psychopathic criminals. This Bruce Wayne is not a billionaire playboy. He’s an emotionally scarred billionaire who hasn’t had a moment of joy or relief in two lonely decades of self imposed exile. THE BATMAN is dark – very, very dark. And I like it that way.

ROCKETMAN – Movie Review By Steven Skelley
Days of sadness and days of joy with some wonderful music weaving its way throughout
I saw the ELTON JOHN biopic ROCKETMAN as soon as I could. It is a musical, a biography, a creative re-imagining and a tribute to a musical prodigy who became a household name. It was not at all what I had imagined and more than I could have hoped for. It is a revealing of childhood trauma, business manipulation, romantic abuse, substance abuse and finally a man at peace with himself and his talent and in control of his demons. And the music is simply amazing. <MORE>

CURT LOVES OLDIES: WRITTEN ON THE WIND - MOVIE REVIEW BY CURT SOLASH
The director called it "garbage". One of its main stars echoed his opinion. It is lurid, sleazy, sensationalistic, salacious, full of dysfunction, alcoholism, sexual inadequacy, suggestion of unfaithfulness, nymphomania, and murder - very heady stuff for 1956. But it's NOT garbage! It is fabulously entertaining with top-notch production values, direction, award winning acting, gorgeous color, a hit theme song, and you won't blink. <MORE>

Why I Celebrate LGBTQ Pride by Steven Skelley
I can trace my maternal family line back to 1720 when Abraham McWilliams was born. He sailed to the New World, settled in Pennsylvania and his son Samuel fought in the Lancaster County Militia for American freedom. I am proud of that history. Just as I have a place in the history of my genealogical family, I am also a part of another family. I have a place in the history of the homosexual family. Unfortunately, unlike my genealogical history that can be easily traced, the accomplishments of my homosexual brothers and sisters have been erased. <MORE>

Unfortunately, unlike my genealogical history that can be easily traced, the accomplishments of my homosexual brothers and sisters have been erased. <MORE>
