Coming in 2nd is a show that many felt was actually better than the film... Buffy, the Vampire Slayer. Even though I provided an "other" option, there wasn't any series that received a write-in vote. However, I am glad that I

Stan Winston Light

My nephew is a movie making guru! He does a lot of special effects, costuming, and movie make up. For a Halloween party, he decided to do "full" special effects make up on himself. I did help.

Old School Fridays: One Hit Wonders

Since there are so many cool one-hit wonders to choose from, it was hard to narrow down my selections. As many of you know, there are many definitions as to what constitutes a one-hit wonder. The criteria I used is as follows: a recording act who had only 1 song reach the Top 40 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart.For my first choice, I went with a song that peaked at #5 in 1968... "Girl

Dancing With the Stars Recap

For a variety of reasons (sleep, MNF, etc.), I've been slacking on my DWTS viewing over the past couple of weeks. However, I was able to catch most of Monday's episode. Here is a brief summary:* I am a sucker for watching dancing from the 1940s and 1950s, so Brooke Burke and Derek Hough's rendition of the jitterbug was my favorite moments of the evening. What made it even more impressive is that

Old School Fridays: Duets

When I saw the theme for OSF was duets, I was like Della Reese in Harlem Nights after Eddie Murphy punched her in the gut ("Ooh yeah... that's what I'm talking about"). By the way, that movie didn't deserve all the pans it got, but I digress...Since the theme is duets this week, I decided to maximize the limit according to the rules and go with two selections. The first is a team up between two

Kendi's Photo Outfit

Happy 60th Birthday To Daryl Hall

On October 11th, one of my favorite vocalists is blowing out the birthday candles... Daryl Hall. One of the things I like about Hall and Oates is that their music has touched on a variety of elements and influences. Along with soul music, they've also delved into such genres as new wave (You Make My Dreams) and arena rock (Head Above Water).If you're a fan and haven't seen Hall and Oates live,

Old School Fridays: Prince

When I saw that the theme for OSF this week was Prince, I was quickly reminded of the ongoing battle he and the Universal Music Publishing Group has with You Tube.

Thursday Thirteen #61: Movie Sequels

Thirteen Movie SequelsEarlier this week I did a post about reports of a possible sequel to "Bull Durham". That got me to thinking about other follow-up films. I've heard many people say that they are against sequels. I won't go that far because there have been some that are worthy follow-ups to the original film. On the other hand, most seem to exist for the sole purpose of padding a star's bank

CD Review: The Way I See It by Raphael Saadiq

Through my job, I was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of Raphael Saadiq's latest CD, The Way I See It. From his days as lead singer of the R&B trio Tony! Toni! Tone!, Saadiq has been one of the leading beacons in keeping the torch of 60s and 70s soul burning. When I listened to The Way I See It for the first time, I was transported back to the heyday of the Afro pick with the "Black power
