Scarface, The School Play

This is what nationwide cuts in grade school education budgets get us… laid off teachers, disbanding of athletic programs, and Brian De Palma’s Scarface as the subject of a school play?!  Whatever happened to Shakespeare?  Neil Simon?  Mamet anyone? Scarface School Play – Watch more Funny Videos

Academy Awards... Meh

So the question came up this morning regarding whether or not I was dreading the Academy Awards show this weekend, which they enjoy watching and I routinely abstain from (the last at least 5-7 years). I came up with a response which on reflection I thought you all might enjoy: Watching the academy awards will [...]

The Envelope Please, the Nominees Are In

Earlier today, the nominees for the 82nd Academy Awards were announced.  As promised the countdown here continues, I’ve seen The Hurt Locker.  The Last Station and Crazy Heart might be in mix this weekend.  But I’m confident I can handicap the Academy’s choices this year.  The lovely and talented Holly Comesoftly might dispute some of [...]

Quantum of Solace

It s been a day since I’ve seen Quantum of Solace.  I’m not quite sure what I think yet.  A lot of critics have slammed it as being joyless.  I don’t know that I’d go that far, it not as if Bond gets off on killing people– it’s just an occupational hazard.  I reviewed Casino [...]

The complete list, with links to all the songs, is here. Unlike many lists on the web, this one is good. There’s an underrated classic — “You Only Live Twice” [...]

Westworld Creator Dies

Happy Trails to Michael Crichton.  The multi-talented M.D., author, director, and screenwriter passed away last Tuesday at the age of 66.  A lot of the obits are leading with his creation of the television series ER and the novel Jurassic Park and its subsequent effects driven movies. Jurassic Park is okay.  I read the book.  [...]

Wouldn’t life be great if it were an Elvis movie? Elvis made 31 films, now not all of them were cinematic gems but you are pretty much guaranteed some or all of the following: (1) An attractive female co-star (blond, brunette, redhead, take your pick) (2) A reason to breakout into song either because you [...]

Opening Doors At 30,000 feet

I grew up with all of those great disaster movies in the 1970s. Classics like The Towering Inferno, Earthquake, and The Posedion Adventure. I’m not quite sure why people were obsessed with this stuff but they were. Another classic was the Airport series of films. Starting with 1970′s iconic Airport and ending with the absurd [...]
