The movie, “The Women” literally has no men, boys or testosterone of any kind in it. Except…well, I won’t tell you that because it would be a spoiler.
But it was very cool to see that in every scene there wasn’t a man to be found. Scenes on the street: every extra in the background was [...]
When I was a kid, I was never drawn to movies like “Peter Pan” or “Huckleberry Finn,” because as far as I was concerned they were “boy stories.” I didn’t have anything against them, but I wanted to see more “girl stories.”

Charlton Heston, an actor known for his square-jawed heroes, especially in biblical epics like “The Ten Commandments” and “Ben-Hur” died last weekend. He was 84 years old.
I have mixed feelings about Charlton Heston. His movies and his acting style were of a classic Hollywood era. Many of those films were the [...]
A couple of weeks ago when I wrote about my favorite TV critics I mentioned Roger Ebert in passing when I talked about needing to know a critic’s biases before I trusted them. Well I was thinking about Roger Ebert today because I just heard about his latest throat surgery.
Though he’s ready to return [...]
The 80th Annual Academy Awards are over and it’s time to rip everyone to shreds. Well, maybe not everyone. Jon Stewart surprised me and did a half way decent monologue. His best line of the night? “Normally when you see a black man or woman president, an asteroid is about to hit [...]
