This IS a Man's World, In Appreciation of Burt Reynolds

Burt Reynolds is a god among men and here’s why. First, let me say that I am a bit biased. As a product of the 1970s and living in a state that had fairly strict Blue Laws restricting virtually any means of amusement other than going to movies or going to open houses on Sundays. [...]

ABC's V Could Use The Beastmaster

The second episode of V was disappointing, its not just me– nearly 4 million fewer viewers tuned in.  It seems to be playing out like the original series.  Big spaceships.  Attractive brunette alien with a non-threatening name running the show.  They’re still lizards and they’re up to no good. The dialogue was clunky when the [...]

Is Knowing Really Half the Battle?

According to Variety, “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra,” had a $100.3 million worldwide opening weekend. Somebody liked it.  Being familiar with G.I.

The ode to the working woman, Enjoli perfume ad featuring Peggy [...]

Sunday With Ronald Reagan

I took a trip down memory lane, to a simpler time.  When the only people who wanted to kill us, actually had an address you could find on a map (Red Square in Moscow).  Back when the Republican Party stood for something and wasn’t being torn apart by an ex-beauty queen, a blowhard radio personality, [...]
