This film is glorious – brilliant Technicolor, solid action and suspense, and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. doing a fantastic tribute to his father by acting in the same style, with the same gestures and the same bigger than life presence. And … Continue reading

The Alphabet Murders (1965, UK; 1966, USA) – reviewed by George
I love Poirot. It started with a family vacation at a lake in Missouri. I was about 13, and there was no TV in our cabin, so we took turns reading a few chapters each night of “Sad Cypress” by … Continue reading

I just have to take a minute to say it out loud. REALLY? I have had my beef with Reality TV in the past. I’ve even learned to like some of it. But I’m kind of tired of all of … Continue reading
Some PBS to take a look at By Anita
As you know from other comments I’ve made I find the TV seasons out of whack. With that being said I’ve had to take a look at some of the new shows out for the summer. As a favorite of … Continue reading

Clever, inspiring and lots of action is the best way to introduce you to Tomorrowland. Directed by Brad Pitt this mystery adventure is a family fun film. The story tells us about a disillusioned genius, a young scientist in the … Continue reading
