‘Highest 2 Lowest’ Showcases Denzel Washington’s Legendary Stardom

At 70, Denzel Washington has become the type of Hollywood living legend of Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant or Steve McQueen. From supporting roles in A Soldier’s Story and as a regular cast member on St. Elsewhere as Dr. Philip Chandler through all six seasons, we saw early he was destined for stardom. I think itContinue reading “‘Highest 2 Lowest’ Showcases Denzel Washington’s Legendary Stardom”

‘Dexter: Resurrection’ Injects New Life, But It Needs Critical Care STAT

I was a big fan of Dexter when it aired on Showtime. But it was apparent after a while, it was running on empty. And like many fans, I felt Miami-area serial killer Dexter Morgan still need to atone for his sins and die. Instead he ended up looking like a lumberjack somewhere in theContinue reading “‘Dexter: Resurrection’ Injects New Life, But It Needs Critical Care STAT”

Diff’rent Strokes For Diff’rent Folks

I forgot that we’re in the middle of Hispanic Heritage Month. I know a lot of people would wonder why we should care because so many Americans are of Hispanic heritage. The latest criticism is that Bad Bunny, aka Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio , is performing at the 2026 Super Bowl half-time. He was bornContinue reading “Diff’rent Strokes For Diff’rent Folks”

‘Parents’ Is An Acquired Taste

My grandfather used to go to deer hunting. One time he told us a joke about a father who brings home some venison meat from a hunt. His kids are unaware of what it is because it doesn’t smell like beef or pork. He tells his kids, “I’ll give you a hint. It’s something yourContinue reading “‘Parents’ Is An Acquired Taste”

Rest In Power, Jane Goodall!

Maybe it was fate in her surname that Jane Goodall would spend a good majority of her life observing and studying chimpanzees in their natural habitat totally changing what was believing of the species. Her work became synonymous with people who embed themselves so closely with animals or a certain demographic. Goodall passed away onContinue reading “Rest In Power, Jane Goodall!”

The Strange Case Of Emily Longstreth

The life of a professional actor can be a difficult one. There’s the numerous auditions that go nowhere. Many famous actors have their own horror stories. Kevin Costner played a dead man whose face wasn’t seen in what was supposed to be his big break in The Big Chill. George Clooney, Laura Dern and CharlieContinue reading “The Strange Case Of Emily Longstreth”

‘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”

Tilly Norwood: Going Too Far Or The Next Step In Entertainment?

In his memoir Making It So Sir Patrick Stewart comments how the late Sir Ian Holm froze up from stage fright during a production of Eugene O’Neill’s The Iceman Cometh. Holm went on to have an impressive career in movies and on TV. Yet, he stayed away from the stage for decades.

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”
