A doppelgänger is a look-alike or double of a living person, sometimes portrayed as a paranormal phenomenon or as one’s “double-goer” or evil twin. While their status as identical nefarious ghosts may be debated, one cannot deny that these people have uncanny resemblances to some of Hollywood’s biggest stars.

A Day In The Life of Bettie Ann
What to say about Bettie Ann Brigham? You look. I hear her hair is insured for $10,000. I hear she does car commercials…in Japan. The Gryphon even named a drink after her, which places her among Arnold Palmer and Shirley Temple. She comes from the legendary Brigham dynasty, and her […]
Smelly Potatoes: American Crime Story
Ryan Murphy is a very polarizing creator. His shows include Popular, Glee, Nip/Tuck, and American Horror Story. The problem with his shows is that they rely heavily on stereotypes. So, when it was announced that he was set to produce a new anthology series entitled American Crime Story, you could […]
Smelly Potatoes: “Fargo” Season 2
A diner massacre, a meat grinder, a body stuck in a windshield, and a UFO. What could possibly go wrong? I am going to be tackling something a little different here. I have chosen to do a review of the second Fargo series, which aired from October to December of 2015. […]

Smelly Potatoes: “Pan” Review
“Pan” is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. In all honesty, I rank it among the worst of the worst. Every Razzie Award can go to it for its sheer awfulness. Never in my life have I wanted to burn filmstrips so badly. Nobody cares about Peter […]
Smelly Potatoes: The “Martian” Review
Oh “The Martian,” how overrated you are. Based on the 2011 science fiction novel of the same name by Andy Weir, you are essentially “Hatchet” in space. Your premise is pretty basic: an astronaut gets stranded on the planet Mars. Matt Damon (no, not Matt “Please watch ‘Fargo,’ only on […]
Alternative Movie Review: “Black Mass”
Biographical films are all the rage nowadays. They can be either good or bad. Occasionally you have impactful films, such as “12 Years A Slave,” “Belle,” and “Walk The Line.” Other times you are stuck with box office bombs like “Sylvia,” “J. Edgar,” or “Jobs.” “Black Mass” is neither of […]
An Alternative Review of “Jurassic World”
In an age of superheroes, action stars, and Kim Kardashian, it was only a matter of time before Steven Spielberg decided it was time for a new Jurassic Park film. (And hey, at least it is a better option than a sequel to E.T. right?) This $200 million dollar franchise scored yet another decisive victory for […]
