Patrick Swayze was a very likeable screen presence, big screen or little. His acting ability is up for debate but he was certainly a commanding presence in some very good movies. …

For her directorial debut, Drew Barrymore has chosen a movie that fits perfectly with her persona. It’s filled with girl power, finding your way and even more girl power! …
A colleague at 1039FM loaned me this book by Gerald Posner. It’s a few years old now, a tremendously entertaining read and it busts open the doors to one of music’s most celebrated labels and hit-making houses. …
You really can’t imagine what it’s like to experience dinosaurs walking around in a prehistoric setting, stretching their long necks over your head or roaring as they tear into their prey or protect their young. You really can’t imagine it unless you’ve seen Walking With Dinosaurs.  …
Jersey Boys is the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons and how they came to be huge pop stars in the 60’s and 70’s and even beyond. I read in the New York Post on the weekend that the real Frankie Valli was performing a sold out show to 10,o00 with Connie Francis.

A film such as this, about a little-known (on a wide scale) gay activist who truly helped change the world for the better, upsets me as much as I enjoy watching and learning about such inspirational people. …
I’m not so naive these days. Twice divorced, once bitten, and all of the rest. But I’m still a sucker for a good romantic story. …
I spent last weekend in the company of my wonderful friend Erin Davis at her cottage. …
I’ve never reviewed a paint before but I’ve used a lot of them and I have some definite opinions on the Debbie Travis line. …
Brad Pitt is an uneven actor at best. For every A River Runs Through It there’s a Meet Joe Black, three hours of my life I desperately wanted back when the credits rolled. …
I picked up a thick paperback called Toxic Fame in a used bookstore recently. …
Like millions of other children of the 1970’s, I loved the Brady Bunch. My brother and I had our biggest fights over the TV when Brady reruns were pitted against repeats of Star Trek. So my Mom made us trade afternoons. Therefore I am as well acquainted with tribbles as I am with Tiger. Captain Kirk may have commanded some of my attention but Greg Brady had my heart. …
