Legendary Auctions current offering includes various items bearing his name. Below...

Mr. Cervi, considered one of the strongest guards of the 1940s and ’50s, found even more success as an N.B.A. coach, leading Syracuse to a title in 1955.

By Debra F Nelson Disappeared are the days when you had to linger in line at a video store and trust that the film that you desired was in. Finished are the days of worrying about getting the motion picture back to the store on time to dodge late fees. Right now you can get unabridged, first-class movies at a portion of the charge you used to pay and you can even do it right in the retreat and coziness...

This post was published on Plurter.com No longer is it needed to go over to the video store just to be upset when the motion picture that you hunted is not in. No longer is it required to fret about getting the movie back to the store in time to get around late fees. Right now it is entirely probable to get whole, high-quality films at a more cheap price than a conventional video store membership...

Q: Whatever happened to Chuck Connors and Johnny Crawford of The Rifleman? A: After the series ended its five-season run in 1963, Connors starred in Branded, which aired on NBC in the 1965-66 season and remains a cult fave, and Werewolf on Fox in 1987-88. He died in 1992. Crawford acts occasionally but puts more energy into leading the Johnny Crawford Dance Orchestra, specializing in music of the 1920s...

There is just no way I could pass up a juvenile delinquent movie with a title like Hot Rod Girl . This 1956 movie is certainly fun, although disappointingly its not actually about a hot rod girl ...

The man you'd find behind the curtain at Hollywood, Michael Ausiello claims to have spoken to "moles" at NBC, and due to the utterly failing network ratings, they may be bringing Chuck back as soon as October. Of course, this is only a rumor until proven otherwise, but NBC's ratings have been nigh-unto pathetic. This is probably because nobody wanted Jay Leno to have his own show and they're...

Good news for fans of Chuck, the show just got a new face. Brandon Routh (Superman Returns), has joined the cast this year, playing a new character that will be taking over Operation Bartowski. Brandon will be playing a high-level agent, presumably replacing the General, who will serve as a mentor to Chuck as well as a rival for Sarah's affections. This should add a needed counter-balance to the existing...

The archive returns after my vacation. Python is a decent action film and we have some good stuff below. Above The War is reviewed in Tough To Kill and while not exactly top notch it is very obscure. Sakura Killers is wacky kung fu and worth checking out for any Chuck Connors fan! One of my favorite scores, this is a widescreen print of the Fabrizio DeAngelis / Larry Ludman action flick Man Hunt.

( pic Link: ClemsonTigers ) Joe Landrum had a fairly short stay in the Majors in 1950 and 1952 for the Brooklyn Dodgers. He was a right handed starter who showed some promise in the minors . He had won 19 games for the AA Fort Worth team in 1949 and had a career Minor League ERA of 2.71 while recording 81 wins. Then, like many ballplayers of the period, he entered the service in 1953 and never again...

Since MAE WEST had her eye on Tammany Hall perhaps for the entire time she lived in New York, she could spot a fixer. • • "Big" Tim Sullivan [23 July 1862 — 31 August 1913] was a fixer extraordinaire and a born ward-heeler.
