    "The Old Man" from Pawn Stars

    This show caught my attention a few months ago as I was channel surfing and they had a segment about WWII relics. The Old Man (Richard Harrison) is a priceless gem. His deadpan humor and delivery is something to behold. Crotchety old curmudgeon... wise, weary and worried. His commentary on...

    What a terrific movie! Last week I was able to watch "No Country For Old Men" for the first time. The movie features Tommy Lee Jones as a sheriff in a small South Texas bordertown. The plot has TLJ tracking an assassin caught up in the border drug wars. Brilliant acting by several cast...

    Legends Of The Fall

    Beautiful landscapes and scenery. Hunting and fishing in the American West. A love triangle (or quadrangle) underscores the entire plot. Life interrupted by war. War interrupted by life. Most interesting to me was the fanatical bond of family loyalty portrayed by patriarch Anthony Hopkins...

    The Passion Of The Christ

    After watching this film, I felt the most gut wrenching emotions a movie had ever inflicted. Sat in silence with a sold-out audience for what seemed like three hours of grizzle, gore, blood, guts, and torment. Not a single word in English. None were needed. Truly a masterpiece for director...
