‘AKA Charlie’ Too Saccharine

The problem with aka Charlie Sheen is that it doesn’t reveal much that we haven’t already known or that a quick Wikipedia search wouldn’t tell us. I didn’t know he became a father at an early age with his high school girlfriend. And I vaguely remember the whole relationship with Kelly Preston that still isContinue reading “‘AKA Charlie’ Too Saccharine”

Peace And Love Be With The Great People Of Michigan

I may not be a very religious person, but I feel that everyone should be able to go to a place of worship and feel safe. If there’s one place on this planet where violence or even bad thoughts are not welcome it should be churches, synagogues, temples and mosques. Sadly, we’ve seen too muchContinue reading “Peace And Love Be With The Great People Of Michigan”

‘Ocean’s Eleven’ Alum Hit And Miss in New England Crime Thrillers

Now, that Robert Redford is gone, his understudy is definitely Brad Pitt. And you can sense George Clooney as the next Paul Newman.

‘Alien: Earth’ Is Another Bug Hunt

Alien is considered one of the classics of the sci-fi/horror genre and its sequel Aliens is a well-made companion movie. How good? Even Paul Reiser’s own mother was glad that his character, Carter Burke, got what was coming to him. A third Alien movie was inevitable. Unfortunately, that was Alien 3, which almost caused DavidContinue reading “‘Alien: Earth’ Is Another Bug Hunt”

‘Malice’ Is A Rollercoaster Of Twists

Alec Baldwin’s career has been on a rocky road following the fatal shooting accident on the set of Rust in 2021. Baldwin’s legal battles have consumed most of his time as he’s only been able to be in less than stellar movies. But in the early 1990s, he was on fire as the next biggestContinue reading “‘Malice’ Is A Rollercoaster Of Twists”

Class Dismissed For Ryan Walters

When I was covering education in Oklahoma schools about 15 years ago, it was ranked 17th in the nation and then the next year in 2011, it was ranked 11th. Not bad for a state that is often the butt of jokes. Yet, when I was covering education, I noticed faculty/staff and administrators were moreContinue reading “Class Dismissed For Ryan Walters”

“I’m A Man! I’m 40!” Sayonara!

Not to say that Mike Gundy didn’t have a great ride as the head coach of Oklahoma State University’s Cowboys football team, but he kinda became a joke after the Sept. 22, 2007 close win over Texas Tech. That was the day when he screamed as loud as he could, “I’m a man! I’m 40!”Continue reading ““I’m A Man! I’m 40!” Sayonara!”
