I have heard that they are going to be making a ninth season of this show, but that it will be about Zach Braff as Dr. John Dorian.  Now, I don’t know if that is true or not, but I can only hope that it will in fact not be true.  The entire cast is […]

I always enjoy biographies, not of the rich and famous, those books tend to be adventures in self glorification written by a hired gun ghostwriter. No, I am talking about books about real people with real and compelling life stories. Where Do We Go From Here is just such a book. Patricia Bonelli has written […]

“Planet 51 fills up the space nicely.”
_ PLANET 51_
Title: PLANET 51
PLANET 51. The name alone takes a stab at Sci-Fi myths and legends. Area 51 has long been thought to house beings and spacecrafts from other worlds. So it only fitting that if you are going to make a film about an alien planet being […]

“The Blind Side is a must see.”
_ The Blind Side _
Title: The Blind Side
I like a good underdog story. Remember the Titans or Erin Brockovich. What I don’t like is manipulation; those films that try and play your heart strings with scene after scene of emotional drivel in order to cover up for a lack […]

“New Moon, same story.”
The Twilight saga continues with the second film, New Moon. This generates two very different reactions. One being high pitched screams and over exuberant elation the other being a casual, “eh, so what”. Meaning that fans of the best selling teen geared novels are so ready to see Edward and Bella back […]

Trace Hacquard poses a question that is near and dear to my heart, is the music genre of Rock dead, are there any bands of today that will be inspiring the next generation, are there bands today that will still be played 20, 30, even 40 years from now?
As a music reviewer I ask the […]

I have a soft spot for children’s books, they are so much more fun to read than a lot of adult books and For Faithful Friends is no exception. It is a book that any young child would derive great pleasure from.
One of the unusual aspects is that Marilyn Randall not only created the text […]

I greatly enjoyed David Peretz’s first foray into the literary world The Mosel Legacy. The Broderick Curse picks up NYPD’s Ross Cortese three years later. He is now living with the alluring Willi who we met in the first book. They have taken up life as a couple in New York.
The Broderick Curse begins with […]

Green Stone Of Healing Series – Book One
Candace Talmadge has four books in print, and I decided to take them in order. Sure, I know that sounds sensible, but what tends to happen is that you pick up the latest book by an author and work backwards, I have no clue how many times I […]

The description of the performers included on the jazzy album I’m Glad There Is You reads something like the program for an off-Broadway musical revue. There’s an Academy Award nominee and the daughter of an Academy Award nominee, among others, along with extensive lists of previous accomplishments (musical and otherwise) for each artist. The leader […]

“2012 is a recipe for disaster”
Writer/director Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, 10,000 BC, The Day After Tomorrow)is back with what is easily his most visual, action backed, destructive movie to date. Calamity films in the past have focused on certain regions of our Earth or the suspenseful buildup of possible doom from meteors or aliens. But […]

I have to admit that I do have a soft spot for the ‘Gumshoe’ novel. They are generally a fast, action packed adventure into the unlikely! The traditional PI in novels is almost always a slightly seedy character, one that you would avoid talking to at a party, and certainly would not want your daughter […]

I enjoyed Prodigal Sons a great deal, I think that likely comes out in my review of it. I am a student of history, particularly the cold war era. Prodigal Sons is set in 1950, in Germany, and pits the newly formed Israel against the remnants of the Nazi organization.
After I had read the book, […]

I am probably not your average reader. I devour a book in its entirety. My mother had a saying that she used often when I was growing up, ‘you should never judge a book by its cover.’ It is an English phrase referring to judging people by their appearance rather than the person inside. As […]

The purpose of a memoir is to tell the truth about oneself with a purpose. Not to just lay out all the family garbage, but to make it mean something to the reader. Jeffrey Koterba does that masterfully in his humorous memoir.
Koterba is a nationally syndicated political cartoonist who didn’t have an easy path toward […]

I am as always a huge fan of horror shows and when I heard about this movie, Stan Helsing I wanted to see it as it seemed a bit different from your typical horror movies and I was right. The movie was written and directed by Bo Zenga who brought us Scary Movie.

David Peretz has actually just published another novel The Broderick Curse, and my plan was to review it, however when I talked with David Peretz I discovered that his first book had the same lead character, and while the two stories do stand alone there is some interrelationship. So I decided to read The Mosel […]
