August is Comedy For Dummies month This is one of the best keeper projects I’ve seen in ages. The cast is stellar, the script crackles with hilarious ideas and the take-off jokes are well done. Tim Allen is Commander Peter Quincy Taggert, and Sigourney Weaver is a blond-haired Lt. Tawny Madison. Throw in Alan Rickman… Read more »
August is Comedy For Dummies month I have to admit I saw this silly film on cable and wasn’t terribly interested in it. The one main problem was that I wasn’t in the demographics they were aiming at which appeared to be 15-25 and a bit slow mentally! Then a half hour in along came… Read more »
All July – Musicals Jerry Bruckheimer has turned out a lot of hit films including Gone in 60 Seconds and Armageddon. He added this little musical beauty to the list in 2000. To get this film you start with getting the hottest model on the planet, Tyra Banks, teach her to do a hot dance… Read more »

The story goes like this: Marin (Amanda Peet), is a twenty- something with a new boyfriend, playboy Harry Sanborn (played by Jack Nicholson). The problem is, Harry is 63… Read more »
June is Romance Month Few performers have been loved and admired as much as the late, great, Marilyn Monroe. Her real name was Norma Jean, but her stage name made a lasting impression along with her incredible face and body. Something about her slinky appearance made her desired but still seen as pure and good…. Read more »
There are many new films that claim to be romantic but there are few that get my blood running as much as this fabulous 80s film. Granted, it’s old but it has captured the world of a romance writer so well, or at least sold me on the concept that this is a romance writer’s… Read more »
June is Romance Month What possessed me to bid on this book from Ebay? That’s complex. There’s a hunky open-shirted guy on the cover, but he’s no Fabio. The subject of pirates has long been an interest to my husband and me. And then the write up of the book by the seller added to… Read more »
May is Mystery Month I admit that my choice of this film is biased. Eric Roberts is a solidly built hunk; take off Julia’s brother’s clothes and I will watch. In Stiletto Dance Eric does full frontal nudity on a bed (although everything is discretely tucked under) and some serious loving with the resident boob… Read more »
