I guess I'm ready to talk about #MayfairWitches I'm glad for the 2nd season renewal let's just hope for a fresh start. #AnneRicesMayfairWitches #LivesOfTheMayfairWitches #AnneRice #AMCPlus

Mayfair Witches is the second TV show in the Immortal Universe that AMC is building around Anne Rice‘s books – Interview With The Vampire was the first. This show is based on the novel trilogy Lives of the Mayfair Witches and was created by Esta Spalding (The Last Letter from Your Lover) and Michelle Ashford (Operation Mincemeat, Masters of Sex), but this season roughly covers The Witching Hour.…

BIG GEORGE FOREMAN (2023)

Starring Khris Davis, Jasmine Mathews, John Magaro, Sullivan Jones, Lawrence Gilliard Jr., Sonja Sohn, Forest Whitaker, Shein Mompremier, John Magaro, Matthew Glave, Sam Trammell, Erica Tazel, Jasmine Mathews, Al Sapienza, Judd Lormand, Deion Smith, Ryan Reinike, Billy Slaughter, Eric Hanson, Deneen Tyler and Miles Doleac.

Screenplay by Frank Baldwin & George Tillman Jr.

Directed by George Tillman Jr.

Distributed by Sony Pictures Classics. 133 minutes. Rated PG-13.

Nowadays, George Foreman is thought of mostly as a sweet and slightly goofy reality TV guy. (Also as the guy who named five of his sons George, and one daughter Georgetta.) However, he was a pioneer in sport; the only person ever to win the heavyweight boxing championship twice, over 20 years apart. (And this was back when winning the heavyweight boxing championship actually meant something.)

Of course, even the two championships showed very different incarnations of Big George. In 1972, when he first shocked Smoking Joe Frazier to win the belt, he was a stud – a fit, trim, angry man with a punch which could stop a bull. However, his upward momentum was halted a couple of years later by Muhammed Ali, who cemented his own comeback by taking the championship away from Foreman.

By the time he made his unlikely comeback in the 1990s, Foreman was a completely changed man. He had found religion, becoming a minister. He had all of his earnings embezzled and had worked hard to get his financial house back in order. He hadn’t fought – or even trained – for over a decade. He was aging, a bit overweight, out of shape, and had lost much of his anger, replacing it with faith and hope. And he was no longer so serious and grim, showing an offbeat and slightly silly sense of humor. But he still had that killer punch.

Khris Davis, who plays the boxer in this biopic, told me recently that he didn’t know Foreman’s story before getting the role. In fact, he was barely aware of the boxer at all. “I didn't know much about him, except for the fact that he was the hurdle that Ali had to get over…,” Davis said. “… And I knew him as the grill guy from the commercial.”

So, since you have to be well into your 40s to not think of George Foreman as a grill huckster, maybe it is time to give another look at his legacy. The film Big George Foreman does an uneven, but fairly decent job at reclaiming his importance in boxing.

It sometimes takes its subject way too seriously, as can be gleaned by just reading the entire verbose and overhyped official title of the film: Big George Foreman: The Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World. (Future Heavyweight Champion? Unless he’s planning on another comeback attempt in his 70s or 80s, that isn’t going to happen.)

The film also does tend to get a bit too heavy on religion in the second half. I mean, I had honestly forgotten that Foreman had become a minister. I’m glad he found peace in his faith. It is definitely an important part of the man’s story. However, eventually Big George Foreman tends to get a little bit preachy during these sections.

Sadly, the film also tends to neuter the lighthearted, funny man he became on TV and in interviews in his later years. (Check out the totally surreal travel reality series Better Late Than Never he did with William Shatner, Terry Bradshaw and Henry Winkler like five to ten years ago.)

And hell, the George Foreman Grill is only mentioned in passing a few times in the film.

That said, when Big George Foreman is focusing on the man’s life and his boxing career, it is rather fascinating sports bio and does a good job of arguing that Foreman was one of the icons of the sweet science. “I think if Ali hadn't been there, we'd be calling George Foreman the greatest fighter of all time,” Davis told me.

The early years, from childhood through the miliary, the Olympics, and his early years as a pro, his cheating first marriage and his financial implosion are pretty fascinating stuff. As is his eventual late-in-life comeback.

Khris Davis does an impressive job as the champ throughout most of his life (Austin Davis Jones plays him as a teen). In fact, Davis went above and beyond to put on significant weight and basically becoming nearly unrecognizable to play Big George in his later years, much like Robert De Niro’s transformation as Jake LaMotta from young man to old in Raging Bull. Forest Whitaker as his trainer and Sonja Sohn as George’s religious mom also do amazing work here.

Let’s face it, George Foreman had such a fascinating life there is no way this film could not be interesting. Big George Foreman doesn’t punch out of its class, like its inspiration did, but it’s a very watchable, if slightly pedestrian, sports bio.

Review of Green Arrow: Stranded (2022)

11/10, would recommend to any Green Arrow fan. I absolutely loved it.

A more detailed review that includes spoilers under the cut!

Alright, here we go! I'm going to be tackling the story first and the art second because both deserve praise.

First things first, I absolutely LOVED that Deneen opened right off the back on the dedication page by showing that he's a longtime DC fan, and paying homage to Mike Grell- it make me feel more secure in the kind of characterization we were going to see, and got me really excited to see where he was going with a young Oliver Queen. And I was NOT disappointed. His characterization of Ollie is probably the best we've gotten in the last 20 years without a doubt- you could really see the makings of our beloved curmudgeon in this thirteen year old- it felt like Ollie again.

Deneen manages a really masterful blend of Rebirth canon and Preboot Canon Queen family dynamics and I think that it's safe to say that with the exception of the island happening when Ollie's thirteen rather than as a young adult, this comic would fit right in with canon stories. It was beautifully structured, expertly split into chapters in a way that didn't segment the story unnaturally, and it felt like I was reading 6 comic issues bound together rather than a volume.

As someone who works with kids, Ollie was an extremely believable thirteen year old, he was just the right amount of independent and seeking validation- and his emotional push and pull with his father? Was EXCELLENT. It's the kind of dynamic we saw hinted at in GA: Rebirth but with Robert Queen being given an actual personality and chance to appear on page. Tyler and Sebastian felt like stand-ins for the Merlyns, which makes sense, given that the canon we've been given for the Merlyns relationship with Oliver Queen would be extremely difficult to portray in a novel for kids and also fitting that narrative into the island narrative would be packing it with too much trauma.

I'm always a fan of Ollie's compassion being highlighted, his acknowledgement that taking a life any life is a burden that shouldn't be handled lightly. Deneen gave us what felt like an homage to the "Safari" death of Ollie's parents from preboot canon mixed with the well known and often discussed grief Ollie feels over the rabbit he accidentally killed while learning to shoot in the way he approaches Ollie's archery skills and his development as a hunter in this comic. On that note too, the shifting between the hunting safari and the island are fantastic- the parallels and anxieties are displayed in a realistic and easy to digest way that's perfect for young readers.

Ollie, talking about the pizza place in Seattle that treats him like anyone else was just so Ollie. It so clearly and easily exemplifies his consistent desire to just be Ollie, and is just one of those instances of the Green Arrow ethos of the importance of being "just a guy."

I am also obsessed with Ollie spelling out "alive" rather than "help" in the driftwood that he sets ablaze at the end to call for help. Something about that was just so Oliver Queen. The focus on living, the determination to look at the unknown and uncertainty found in needed help and to say "I'm here, I'm alive, I am going to show strength regardless of the uncertainty of my situation," was just... so Ollie. I loved it. Seared into my memory forever now.

Onto the art- I need the island to be illustrated like this always now. Hosalla's art style is able to show the island as something beautiful and untamed and dangerous, while still plainly showing the trauma of the situation. It toes the line between serene and horrifying which is exactly what the island should be, it is both an escape, a place where Oliver Queen can just be Ollie, where he's unburdened by the pressures of his life back home- but it's also a crucible that fashions him into the man he'll become. And her art is just a brilliant display of both beauty and pain.

I also really really love the way she portrays Ollie. He looks like a thirteen year old boy, he's not just a smaller version of a grown man without a beard. He looks like a young boy who's still growing into his features, who's maturing still, has baby fat still. And it's this depiction that helps drive home the kind of innocence and unfairness that Dendeen is trying to make apparent in his writing- the art reflects the text of the story beautifully. Ollie's facial features are distinctive, and his expressions are fantastic, I love the way that the pupils of the eyes she draws are just as expressive as the line of the mouth. And I could talk forever about the way that Ollie's face switches between fear and determination, the subtle shift in the panel between just drives the scene, and brings the text to life in a way that makes it feel dynamic.

The art is what truly brings this comic to the level it's at- the writing is incredible, but the art is what elevates it to the being such an incredible Green Arrow comic. The use of color and contrast, the facial expressions convey tone in a way that text alone can't. It's an incredible comic, and an absolutely beautiful example of what the medium can be when artists and writers of equal skill are paired together.

I truly cannot recommend this comic enough. I will be thinking about this for months at absolute minimum.

After a plane crash on a deserted island, 13-year-old Oliver Queen must learn the skills he needs to survive and to protect his injured father.

Ollie has always hated the idea of hunting, but his dad insisted they go on this trip with his business partner, Sebastian, and Sebastian’s son, Tyler. When Ollie fails to take a perfect shot, the teasing starts, and he wonders if his dad will ever be proud of him again.

But just when he thought their trip couldn’t get any worse, their private jet is struck by lightning and crash-lands on a deserted island. Ollie awakens to find his dad seriously injured and the other passengers nowhere in sight. If father and son are to survive, Ollie’s going to have to learn skills he’s been avoiding developing so far. He has never felt less sure of who he is…or if he will be able to hang on until help arrives.

This fast-paced and suspenseful tale from writer Brendan Deneen and illustrator Bell Hosalla is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats!
