No title 2008-06-21 19:16:00 Janis Ian’s “At Seventeen” hit me like a ton of bricks when I first heard it many years ago. It’s only grown more powerful thru the years and its meaning ever deeper and more truthful. What a personal and moving experience it is hearing her sing about feeling like an ugly duckling in a world [...]
Beautiful Girls 2008-06-20 16:09:03 Beautiful Girls
(1996) is a vastly underrated movie in my book. It’s one of my favorites that I watch from time to time. There are so many wonderful performances but Natalie Portman stole the show as the precocious Lolita.
She captivates and confuses Will (Tim Hutton) who’s gone back home to do some soul-searching before [...] Read more:Beautiful

Tears in Rain 2008-07-08 19:16:16 Blade Runner (1982) is a great movie, not just a fantastic sci-fi film! It’s a visually stunning film and actually voted by the American Cinematographers Association as one of the ten best films ever made in the last 100 years. Sure, it is replete with exciting action scenes and loaded with futuristic technological gadgetry but [...] Read more:Tears
No title 2008-07-07 19:56:38 Bowling for Soup’s version of “1985″ is a blast for anyone who misses the 1980s!
The music video is especially big fun as it shows many of the icons of the era.
The image of Tawny Kitaen sprawled across the jaguar in WhiteSnake’s “Here I Go Again” was a signature moment for the decadent decade of big [...]
Little Brother 2008-07-06 19:55:03 Commercials don’t have to suck, ya know. They can wonderful little movies instead of queues to go to the bathroom or fast forward thru in Tivo. Check out this little gem that gets me every single time!
The tough little kid has a devious plan and works it to perfection! The music is great too. Watch [...] Read more:Brother

The Beauty Inside 2008-07-06 12:10:59 One of the best things that I love about movies is the way that you get blind sided every once in a while and totally shocked by what you experience. You know, you expect one thing and then all of a sudden you get the rug pulled from under you, usually in a good way. [...] Read more:Beauty
The Game of Love 2008-07-05 10:17:48 The song’s a few years old now but “The Game of Love” by Santana and Michelle Branch still sounds fresh and new to me. The music video wonderfully captures the hot summer day vibe it exudes.
What About Me? 2008-07-04 13:15:25 I admit that It’s kind of strange that I’m using a song from an Australian band to celebrate Independence Day but there is a connection. Moving Pictures enjoyed brief popularity in the early 80s and this was their biggest international hit by far. It was number one for seven weeks in Australian and reached #29 [...]
waiting for a girl like you 2008-07-02 21:00:14 Foreigner has always been one of my favorite bands of all-time and my favorite song they did was “Waiting for a girl like you”. It holds a dubious record for the most weeks spent at number two on the Billboard charts without ever reaching the top spot (10 weeks). This was thanks to the dreadful [...]
Lyrical Hip Hop as new art form 2008-06-27 06:34:17 I love “So You Think You Can Dance” and have enjoyed all four seasons of it! This is their best one yet. Every dancer is so versatile. There are hip hoppers doing amazing ballroom dances and contemporary dancers doing some sick hip hop! Check out this performance last night by Mark and Chelsie who are [...]
The World Ain’t Slowing Down 2008-07-23 21:37:53 Sometimes you hear a song from a movie and you never forget it, even if the movie isn’t that great. That’s the case with “The World
Ain’t Slowing
Down” by Paul Ellis which was used in a key scene in “Me, Myself and Irene” starring Jim Carrey. While the movie isn’t that great, it did [...]
That Girl 2008-07-22 06:31:31 I had a crush on Marlo Thomas as a very young man, perhaps even a boy still. Hey, Italians deal with puberty earlier than most (I think anyway). I loved her show “That Girl” which was on the air from 1966 to 1971. It centered around a single working girl in the big city, [...]
This Woman’s Work 2008-07-17 23:15:13 She’s Having a Baby is another one of those underrated comedies that touches you in ways that you never forget. John Hughes broke free from his high school brat pack mold (Breakfast Club, 16 Candles, Pretty in Pink, etc.) and totally captures the amazing experiences of marriage and parenthood in this wonderful movie. It [...]
Click 2008-07-14 22:00:26 Sometimes things just “click” with you when you least expect it. Here I was expecting to laugh my butt off with another Adam Sandler comedy and all of a sudden I find myself being moved to tears over and over again by his movie “CLICK” (2006). Talk about coming from leftfield! I was knocked [...] Read more:Click
Becoming Jane 2008-07-13 12:02:57 The movie “Becoming
Jane” is a wonderful experience if you want to learn what events in her real life inspired all of her glorious novels (”Pride & Prejudice”, “Sense & Sensibility”, “Emma”, etc.). It’s also a heartbreaking saga as sometimes reality doesn’t mimic fiction. Still, it’s a comforting revelation knowing that th Read more:Becoming Jane
Scared Sober? 2008-07-12 20:18:16 Here are some highly disturbing TV commercials that truly have high impact when it comes to its message against drunk driving, speeding and driving without buckling your seatbelt! I’m still numb from the shock of these spots and feel compelled to share them with everyone I can with the hope that some people might change [...] Read more:Scared
