Over the weekend, my wife and I rented a movie that was tabbed as a “Drama Comedy.” Initially, I thought, “How can that even be a genre?” The words are theoretically at odds with each other. Drama usually provides us sad, insightful, human interest stories while comedy gives us laughs and light hearted moments. [...]

I get excited when I see a new movie released which was “inspired by true events” or “based on a true story.” Something about real life turned into a cinematic experience draws me to these movies. Watching a movie based upon or inspired by actual events allows for a certain amount of vicarious living [...]

I admit I regularly watch “The Today Show” on NBC each morning because when compared to its competition, it is a better avenue for “entertainment news.” Quite a while back, I wrote a story explaining my loathsome view of their additional “fourth hour” which included bringing back Kathie Lee Gifford to the television screen [...]

Can advertising make you do things? Can you make people think and do things by simple body language? Two simple questions and initially you may think the answer is no.

I have decided to write today’s article about a movie that I rented today and watched, “Drillbit Taylor.” Now of course I will fill you in a bit about the basic premise of the movie and give you my feelings on it. The basic ideas of the movie revolve around a couple of kids [...]

It’s movie review time. Tonight, my wife and I watched “Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins.” It was a fairly entertaining movie with quite a few “laugh out loud” moments. I was happy with the time spent (2 hours) because it only cost me $1.08 to rent from the local McDonald’s RedBox. If I haven’t mentioned [...]

I’ve watched several movies since my last review, but none of them intrigued me enough to write an article about them. However, as the article title implies, The Bucket List gave me something worthwhile to write about. As always, I will not give any spoilers or ruin the film experience for anyone who may [...]

How informed do you believe the customers are in this country? Do you believe we are well informed as a society on what we purchase? Do you think we are below average, adequately, or something else?
