Oscar: So I was asked about the film L.A. Confidential. One of the best films..probably on my top 10. This is a Noir-type movie and it works fabulously!!! All the characters are gripping and the actors/actresses give it all they’ve got!!! If you haven’t seen this film you are in for a fantastic treat!!! I…

Oscar: Ah yes…back when Will Smith’s career wasn’t in the toilet…this show worked (to me) because Will Smith started as a hungry young comedian and had no serious ego problems..but..(sigh) fame and fortune is often followed by an ego on steroids!! Love James Avery as Uncle Phil who was very successful but also kind and…

Oscar: One of the BEST movies in my lifetime. Got to see it in the movie theater. Super suspenseful, fantastic special effects (for the time). Also had one of the best-known theme (music) of ALL time. If you haven’t seen this movie…?!? It is an edge of your seat ride of horror, carnage, sometimes humorous…

Oscar: Another 70s favorite sitcom. I liked every character in this show. Loved the opening jazz saxophone!! It’s always a smart move to me for a sitcom that lends itself to bringing in a lot of one-off characters… It keeps the show fluid and introduces the audience to many quirky situations and players. Loved It!!…

(click title) OSCAR: This is a weird, wonderful and violent film about ..well.. a fight club. IF for some reason, you haven’t seen this film, I will not give anything away other than Brad Pitt’s character asks Edward Norton’s character who he would want to fight in the fight club? Ed Norton’s character then states…

OSCAR: So here is one of my all-time favorite 1970s sitcom…What’s Happening was a very progressive and entertaining sitcom for its day. It was centered around a struggling single parent African-American family living in Watts. The mother, marvelously played by the great Mabel King, portrayed a divorced mother of two trying to keep her family…

Oscar: This is probably in the top 25 list of my favorite films of all time. It is so ridiculously funny and entertaining that I’ve seen it many times over the years. Not sure why, but I decided to insert Charles Martin Smith’s character “The Toad” from American Graffiti (1973)…just the gag referencing the above-mentioned…

OSCAR: Since I got our first request for Billy Bob Thornton, I thought I would do a double feature!!! To me, this movie turned Billy Bob Thornton into a superstar. He was so good in this role. Being a mumbler in this film, I wanted to showcase more mumblers from film!!! ha ha!! EMMY: I…

OSCAR: This is a dynamite new series starring Billy Bob Thornton and Sam Elliot. All the characters are believable, and they relate as a family in a viable way. I am hooked on the show and that is rare for me with brand new offerings. The young newcomers are also standouts and do a great…

OSCAR: This movie is an updated remake of one of my favorite all-time westerns – My Darling Clementine (1946) – starring Henry Fonda as Wyatt Earp and Victor Mature as Doc Holiday. Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer did a great job in this movie and it is entertaining. The only negative for me, and it…
