A Death In The Family
Please be patient with me for a while. My mother passed away earlier this week, so I haven’t been able to focus much on this blog. My mother was 80 years old. Some would say it’s not a good start to the new year, but my mother had some severe health problems the last 20Continue reading “A Death In The Family”

Have A Safe And Happy New Year’s Eve
I want to wish each and everyone of you a happy but very, very safe New Year’s Eve. Don’t drink and drive. An Uber or Lyft might be pricey. But it’s better than the alternative. Please be safe and have a great time. Thanks again for reading and subscribing!
‘Longlegs’ Feels Like An Overlong ‘X-Files’ Episode
Longlegs is from Osgood Perkins, who is writer/director. He’s the son of Anthony Perkins and those are some big shoes to fill especially in the horror genre where the elder Perkins first found himself trapped and then embraced during his latter years. Perkins might easily be remembered as “Dorky David” from Legally Blonde. Set duringContinue reading “‘Longlegs’ Feels Like An Overlong ‘X-Files’ Episode”
Rest In Power, Jimmy!
I’ve talked a lot of my time in Americus, Ga. and how I worked at the Americus Times-Recorder which was nearby Plains, Ga., where former President James E. Carter Jr., otherwise known just as Jimmy, was born 100 years ago and passed away on Sunday, Dec. 29. He may not have been considered one ofContinue reading “Rest In Power, Jimmy!”
‘Best Christmas Pageant Ever’ Dated But Overall Moral Is Timeless
Barbara Robinson was in her mid-40s when she published The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. And it’s the type of novel someone middle-aged in the early 1970s would write. It’s very dated by today’s standards as the narrator Elizabeth “Beth” Bradley is recalling the story as it happened when she was younger. But stories about menContinue reading “‘Best Christmas Pageant Ever’ Dated But Overall Moral Is Timeless”
Rest In Power, Art Evans
Sometimes events in the universe happen in the oddest ways. Art Evans, a long-time veteran character actor, passed away on Dec. 21, the first day of winter and just four days away from Christmas. It was in Die Hard 2 where Evans portrayed one of his most memorable roles as a Leslie Barnes, the chiefContinue reading “Rest In Power, Art Evans”
‘Carry-On’ Is One Good ‘Die Hard/Mission: Impossible’ Imitator
Carry-On might be the best Die Hard or Mission: Impossible Bruce Willis and Tom Cruise never made. Set mostly in the vast terminal that is Los Angeles International Airport, it feels more suited for streaming than it does for the big screen. This is one of those movies that uses tension rather than wham-bam action,Continue reading “‘Carry-On’ Is One Good ‘Die Hard/Mission: Impossible’ Imitator”
‘End Of Days’ 25 Years Later No So Bad In Retrospect
Beginning with his role Hercules in New York, Arnold Schwarzenegger had appeared in comedies, action movies, neo-noir, westerns, science-fiction and fantasy. Yet, he had never really done straight horror. James Cameron had said The Terminator was supposed to be a variation on the slasher genre but the science-fiction elements led to people thinking it wasContinue reading “‘End Of Days’ 25 Years Later No So Bad In Retrospect”
