When Diane Ladd was approached by David Lynch to play Marietta, an antagonistic character in the 1990 movie Wild at Heart, she said Lynch wanted her to be a hot momma.

Never Forget The Clock Tower
It’s Nov. 12. And this is the day that a bolt of lightning struck the clock tower in Hill Valley, Calif. at 10:04 p.m. PDT. in 1955. As far as we know, it’s never been fixed 70 years later.

The blue skies and green-grass yards seem to be a good contrast to the terror that is lurking. The sun’sContinue reading “‘Weapons’ Is A Total Misfire”

‘Shutter Island’ Leaves You To Wonder What Is Real And What Isn’t
With the recent documentary series Mr. Scorsese about the life and work of Martin Scorsese, he says his collaboration with Leonardo DiCaprio has been a way he can work to do more expensive projects.
