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”

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. Beginning in the first Ocean’s movie back in 2001, they seem to have a wonderful chemistry that Newman and Redford showed off in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and later TheContinue reading “‘Ocean’s Eleven’ Alum Hit And Miss in New England Crime Thrillers”
‘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”

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.

Nifty Place For A Nest
I stopped by the PetSmart in Broken Arrow, Okla. a few weeks ago and as I was leaving, I noticed a bird’s nest in the sign above the store. I thought it was a nice place to build a nest as some people have birds as pets themselves. I’ve thought about it a couple ofContinue reading “Nifty Place For A Nest”
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”
