Ok, the headline above does exactly rhyme but you know what? It doesn’t matter because I saw it’s so. (I mean, I’m from the South. You ought to hear what we’ve done to the English language. And yet they get mad about people speaking Spanish.) That’s basically how things have been for well over 20Continue reading “Misinformation Station, How Do You Ration?”

‘It’s A Wonderful Knife’ Slices Just Right
During the last 80 years, It’s a Wonderful Life went from being a box-office disaster to one of the most cherished Christmas holiday movies.

‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre” Turns 50
Let me start off by saying, I’m not a really big fan of the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. By the time I saw it, I was in my teens and so much had been discussed of movie for over 20 years that I was expecting something bigger. Instead it was really just another anotherContinue reading “‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre” Turns 50″
