Renaissance 2.0
The Black Eyed Peas were amazing on this week’s So You Think You Can Dance performing their new number one song on Billboard’s Hot 100, “I Gotta Feeling”. By the way, they replaced their own song at number one by breaking a 12-week run at the summit for “Boom Boom Pow”. They are the hottest…
I don’t normally write about a movie BEFORE I see it but every once in a while I do when everything about a movie seems like a winner to me. “Julie & Julia” has all the “ingredients” for a delicious recipe. OK, sorry about all the bad puns. Here’s why I cannot wait to see…
It might not be a great movie but I LOVE “Desperately Seeking Susan” (1985)! I think it’s because it’s part of my youth and I really liked this new music artist named Madonna who was so fascinating back then. It wasn’t just her looks and unique sense of fashion and her catchy hook-laden music and…
This is such a moving song with a powerful message. Despite the lyrics describing making a difference with your own two hands the true message is that if enough of us get involved we can change the world. Simply beautiful. "With My Own Two Hands" (feat. Ben Harper) I can change the world With…
I was mesmerized by this song “BROKEN” by Lifehouse during a Fox promo for upcoming TV shows. I’ve always been a fan of Lifehouse and I know this isn’t a new song because I’ve heard it before but for some reason it got to me in a special way tonight. The music, the words and…
“Prelude to a Kiss (1992)” is one of the most underrated movies ever. I love it for many reasons. Alec Baldwin and Meg Ryan were absolutely fabulous in it. The dialogue is incredibly witty and so realistic. I love the way they fell in love right before our very eyes. Too many movies never show…
One of my favorite movies of all-time is “Somewhere in Time” starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour. It was written by one of my favorite writers, Richard Matheson and based on his book “Bid Time Return”. He’s mostly known for his work on Rod Serling’s “Twilight Zone” series. His most well known episode being “Nightmare…
It’s a beautiful summer day in Atlanta as the kids swim with their cousins Diona and Collin. These are wonderful memories they’ll have forever. So will I.
We lost Farrah Fawcett (62) and Michael Jackson (50) today. They were two massive icons from my youth. We all knew Farrah was battling cancer so it wasn’t as much as a shock as Michael’s sudden passing. I was kid when I fell for the golden girl Farrah on Charlie’s Angels. So did the whole…
“Creator” (1985) starring Vincent Spano, Peter O’Toole, Virginia Madsen and Mariel Hemingway is a delightful romantic comedy that had a most interesting premise. It centered around a mad scientist (O’Toole) who tries to re-create his late wife via cloning. Yes, it was way ahead of its time. Yes, it was a crazy idea because he…
