I liked the television series. I liked the way those cops, Detective James ‘Sonny’ Crockett and Detective Ricardo ‘Rico’ Tubbs, played by Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas were so cool and the style of dressing was so different. So different in fact that their way of dressing took off as millions of people copied their styles. Some people didn’t like the look but to me it was so ‘Miami’ at the time. The series was also very interesting in that each week they dealt with topics ...
Speaking of leaving well-enough alone, I heard this morning that there will be Tarzan, The Musical on Broadway this year. In fact it's in production right now. Music will be written by Phil Collins, whom I adore! Hopefully, for his sake, the music will be good. Since he's had success at writing music for animation and other shows, I'm thinking it will be. But can you imagine, Tarzan as a musical? Oh yeah, it's a Disney production too. The main star happens to be someone who had his...

Make it stop! The phrase won't go away! They kept advertising Scarface on Cable last night and that's all I've been saying all day today! Even now as I write! Gahhhhh! I'll tune in for the re-run of Scarface again, it's a good movie! But for the life of me, that's all they keep showing, that scene with him saying....yep.... "Say Hello to my little friend"!!!!!! Aw well...you guys have a great weekend. Say hello...nope...it ends here!
There's a Star Trek: The Tour coming to a town near each of us, I hope really soon! Can you imagine being able to see all of those items that made this originally 'sleeper' series the success that it is today?! Being able to hopefully sit on the famous chair and go on deck and experience the wonder of the Enterprise!
The tour starts in California and will be at a town or city US-wide soon. You can check the following link for tour dates http://www.startrek.com/custom/include/community/tour/.
As a teen one of my favorite television shows, (in fact, my entire family loved this show!) was Magnum P.I. It was wholesome fun and filled with lots of adventures! We loved it because the star, Tom Selleck made it so good, along with his co-stars, John Hillerman as Higgins (aka Robin Masters – I always thought so anyway!), Roger Mosley as TC and Larry Manetti as Rick! Plus don’t forget those two loveable Dobermans! I’ve h...
Did any of you see the Golden Globe announcements last night? I tried to watch it, I really did but was too disgusted and distracted to stay with any of the programs! Channel 4, NBC and Channel 65, E! both broadcasted the winners via their entertainment hosts. That just didn't fly with me at all! I found it difficult to enjoy the reading of the announcements without all the fanfare of the actors/actresses going on stage, making their speeches, possibly flubbing their speeches and doi...
Not that I mind one bit! I've found myself every evening, at the end of the day/night...depending how you look on it...watching Disney channel with my little one and my son. They love those cartoons, (are they cartoons really?) that I mentioned in the title and I find that I quite enjoy watching them too! They are absolutely hilarious! The Replacements, the music is pretty funky and catchy and the same goes for the others too! LOL! I love to watch Krunk in Kuzco, just to hear him talk...
She did it, she got the Oscar! I'm watching the Oscars right now and I have to tell you I didn't expect her to win and I'm glad she did. Because it gives hope to those who are out there trying to become a success at whatever it is they are doing. That one day, they too can have the recognition and success. Oh,On another note, Al Gore and his group just won the Oscar for their docu-reality on Global Warming. I didn't see it, but I did hear it was pretty informative! Congratulat...
I'm stuck at home today waiting on the carpet cleaners to stop by and clean my carpets. I've vacuumed, put everything I can up high and getting a little bored. I tune in to daytime TV which I don't get to do often since I"m at work during the day. I used to enjoy watching The View but not anymore. I actually used to tune into it because of Star Jones, and Meredith. When Star was on they had such an interesting chemistry and Meredith and her were always fun to watch (to me) because th...
That's an odd name for a movie. Odd but interesting. I was just watching Clive Owens in Derailed. I've been wanting to see that movie for a while now. I even taped it on my DVR (TIVO's unrelated cousin) and it's been sitting there waiting for me to watch, but alas, between work, and my family life, I've been unable to watch it. So tonight when I was channel surfing, [yikes, make that last night, I didn't realise the time!] I bumped into Clive's broad shoulders, took one look in those ey...
According to one person (who is deceased I might add) " It's the movies that have really been running things in America ever since they were invented. They show you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, how to feel about it, and how to look how you feel about it ." That quote was made by Andy Warhol. Does anyone remember him? How can we not?! He was also the person who coined "five minutes of fame" and made quite a memorable contribution in the art and design world. One thing I...
I'm watching Mel Brooks' movie "High Anxiety". I watched this movie many years ago and it is still very, very funny! Harvey Korman, Cloris Leachman, Dick Van Patten, Madeline Kahn are some of the stars with very funny characters in this movie! If you have ever seen it, remember it is the one about the new Administrator (Brooks' character) Dr. Richard Thorndyke taking over the Institute of the Very, Very Nervous! The hilarity and confuse mess that develops, ...
I didn't read the comic books, but was aware of who the Watchmen were. I wanted to see the movie, because being a kid at heart, I'm all for grown ups running around being superheroes! I had forgotten how graphic the characters were. Yep, my 7 year old was with me. But the good thing is, my mommy tricks came in handy for those scenes deemed too mature for her. All in all, I managed to see the entire movie without missing a beat! The movie was long, 2 hours and...
I saw this move on HBO Saturday night. It was pretty moving to me, emotionally moving. It was about a soldier who died in Iraq and his coming home, it was based on a true story. I had no idea that the men who died in Iraq or other wars, were escorted home by other soldiers. In this story, Kevin Bacon's character, (a real person) Lt. Colonel Mike Strobl, is a Marine Officer who volunteered to take home a soldier who died in Iraq back to his home town in Colorado. I was very moved how met...
