Josh Brolin’s performance makes you forget that you are watching Josh Brolin portraying George W. Bush, and he even makes you forget how much you might dislike Bush as President. The supporting characters are also handled with dignity and respect. Jeffrey Wright presents a thoughtful portrayal of Colin Powell and Richard Dreyfuss nails his performance as Dick Cheney.
Appaloosa
October 9, 2008 By
There is enough humor mixed with the occasional violent gun battle to make you laugh as you wince. The final outcome is going to be based on who among the gunslingers are faster, braver, and more bulletproof. Yet with all this savagery going on around him, Sheriff Virgil spends his time between battles reading Emerson’s poetry with a dictionary at his side. (Includes video feature)
More on Dick Kelly's "Mama's Club" Autobiography
August 28, 2007 By
It’s been about ten days since I received a copy of Richard E. Kelly’s Second Edition of “Growing Up in Mama’s Club.” What an accomplishment for a freshman writer! For those of you who may have read my earlier post about Kelly and his book, you might remember that I mentioned that his pre-release version [...]

Richard Kelly Bares His Soul
July 15, 2007 By
If you grew up in a fundamentalist religious household or your parents converted to a charismatic or evangelical church, you’ll probably want to read this blog article.

Damned Spammers Never Give Up
July 12, 2007 By
I’m sure that other blog writers go through this same thing almost everyday, deleting the almost constant flow of “spam” or spammy comments. Back on May 23rd I posted an article about Dateline MSNBC’s program on identity theft. I’ve received almost daily comments on this article that are nothing but pure gobbledegook spam and make no [...]
American Idol – Contest or Charity Scam?
April 26, 2007 By
I know this is politically incorrect, but last night’s American Idol show that centered on their charity works pretty much turned my stomach. On the surface their charitable activities seem to be well intentioned, but I often wonder who is really behind these massive undertakings. Do we really know who is administering the non-profit organization [...]
Why I like Keith Olbermann and hate the rest
April 22, 2007 By
Keith Olbermann is host of “Countdown with Keith Olbermann,” a rather unique evening newscast. His twist on the news is that he counts down some of the day’s top stories with his own particular wit and style. The show is on every weeknight, 8 PM ET (5 PM PT)on the MSNBC cable channel. The show is repeated [...]
Sanjaya – Go thee into the fair night
April 22, 2007 By
We all knew it was going to happen – that Sanjaya Malakar would finally be voted off the “American Idol” competition. But while we waited we saw several good talents fall by the wayside – talented people who had far more credibility and broader range than Sanjaya would ever have. While we waited for Sanjaya [...]
