I rewatched The First Wives Club to write this review the other night with a little bit of trepidation. I remembered it fondly, but had only seen it once, way back when it was released in 1996. I was prepared...
Today, I'm in a very good mood and just generally pleased to be alive. Happy Friday everybody! Enjoy your weekend, and enjoy this post that's been lingering for a few days or so. ---------------------------------------- I first saw the Superman movies as a child and I remember being absolutely blown away. I was certain this was the coolest thing I have ever seen and that nothing would ever top it....
Grease , that old favourite movie was on the other night, and as I watched the first 30 minutes I realised Betty Rizzo , as played by Stockard Channing , is my style icon. This came as rather a revelation. I hadn’t realised one of my favourite outfits was channelling Rizzo . I love the classic and fitted black shirt and skirt with the cute little ballet flats that she wears at the start of the...
Lesley Manville, Anthony Head and Obi Abili will lead the cast of David Grindley’s upcoming revival of John Guare's Olivier Award-winning play Six Degrees of Separation, which runs at the Old Vic from 19 January to 3 April 2010 (previews from 7...
Ah, another patronizing pair of rich, liberal celebrities who think all of America is taken in with starry eyes whenever they endorse something, including government-run, freedom-robbing, socialized health care. Endorsing something is easy when they themselves, because of their vast fortunes and fame, will never have to take part in it, just like our Congress [...]
H ere is a Video from Health Care for America Now(HCAN), the Group that Supports Government Health Care for All, that stars Martin Sheen and Stockard Channing. What a Bunch of Propaganda Drivel: To See the video Linked on HCAN Go To: http://tools.advomatic.com/8/housebill .
Martin Sheen and Stockard Channing who played President Jed Bartlet and First Lady Abbey Bartlet on The West Wing urge support for passage of the health care reform bill tomorrow (video above). Somehow I don’t think there’s much of a chance that Crazy Pete will change his vote if I call his office.
ANTHONY Head and Lesley Manville will star in David Grindley’s revival of John Guare’s Six Degrees of Separation , which runs at the Old Vic from January 19 (previews from January 7) to April 3, 2010. First performed on Broadway in 1990, Guare’s play is inspired by the true story of a flamboyant con artist who convinced wealthy residents of Manhattan’s Upper East Side that he...
Today's Google Doodle celebrates the almost-fortieth anniversary of the first Sesame Street broadcast, on November 10, 1969. Unless you were THERE, it's hard to realize what an impact not only Jim Henson but also Joe Raposo and the other contributors had on the past forty years of kids' thinking (and on some of the "earworms" that surface out of Mama Squirrel's subconscious). I was THERE....
BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL-AID TABLE CELEBRITY IN CHIEF BARRY O WAS HAVING A SNIT FIT TONIGHT. HE STAMPED HIS FEET, THREW VASES FILLED WITH FLOWER AND CURSED A BLUE STREAK. AND IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ELECTIONS ( NEW JERSEY AND VIRGINIA DECIDED THEY WANTED REPUBLICANS AS GOVERNORS ). IT HAD EVERYTHING TO DO WITH HIS DIRECT-TO-CABLE FILM. "I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE GOT ALL...
I first became a fan of Nanette Fabray as the mother of Mary Richards and Ann Romano. She played Dottie Richards in two 1972 episodes of The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Katherine Romano on One Day at a Time from 1979 to 1984. I didn't discover until much later that she was a Tony Award-winning Broadway actress. You cannot help but like Nanette Fabray, whose sparkling presence has always been irresistible....
It's a jungle out there, which requires skilled juggling and a bag of tricks, too. When Grease! (the movie) came out, my friends and I went Grease-crazy. Everyone bought the album, and we poured over the foldout album cover's yearbook style collection of photos. We tried to decide which T-Birds were cute versus too greaser, and which photo of Danny and Sandy was best. Meanwhile, the vinyl record played...
photo by Mark Lennihan/Associated Press It seems like every other day we're reading about yet another theatrical project that makes us wonder if the success of Glee has caused some kind of collective brain short-circuiting. [Ed. note: I can't wait for Glee to die. How has no one else noticed it's just a cross between American Pie and the 4th season of Ally McBeal?!] Read for yourself. Local: Last...
