The Official, Unofficial Start to My Summer

Yes! May 3rd finally arrived and I am anxiously awaiting the moment when I surender to that comfy theater chair and take-in the much anticipated Iron Man 3. No, I didn’t go see it on opening night (S0 please don’t spill any details). I can’t enjoy it quite as much with throngs of individuals packedContinue reading “The Official, Unofficial Start to My Summer”

Getting Up!

Once again, the timely, instructional and revelatory Life Sucks series at The Bridge DC  is having a profound affect. It is clearly evident, as life evolves, that there is always more to learn. One thing I have learned for sure is that the degree to which one “suffers” is the degree to which one grows. I am aware that I amContinue reading “Getting Up!”

Dreaming…Believing… “Girl Rising”

I can never do this film justice with any of my diagnosis – In short, to all Mothers, Fathers, Godparents, Teachers, Mentors etc, Girl Rising is a Must-See and I encourage you to expose the beloved young women in your lives to this film. The documentary reveals the stories of 9 girls in varied partsContinue reading “Dreaming…Believing… “Girl Rising””

Feeling A Little “Defiance”?

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the premiere of the Syfy series, Defiance last Monday evening. They say that the first 10 minutes of a film is crucial and the first ten of the 2 hour series opener, of Defiance, sure did what it was supposed to do. Now it’s Monday again andContinue reading “Feeling A Little “Defiance”?”

A Salute To A Personal Hero

I was half way through another post when I learned about the death of Film Guru, Roger Ebert. I tossed and turned about posting my original story or listening to the rumbles in my mind to honor a personal hero. I have admired Roger Ebert for many, many years. As a child, when the movieContinue reading “A Salute To A Personal Hero”

Is Sunday Night the New “Must See TV” Night?

Ok, did I miss something? …When did Sunday Night become the new “Must See TV” night? Do you remember when that was Thursday night? Yep!….The terminology was coined by NBC in the 1990s when their Thursday night line-up was doing gang-busters in the ratings. Actually they were scoring high since the 1980s. The line-up goesContinue reading “Is Sunday Night the New “Must See TV” Night?”

The Wonder Of Touch

To begin with, I am terribly attracted to any storyline that has to do with Super Intelligence. To add to that, Keifer Sutherland acts exquisitely as the caring and sensitive, yet intelligent single Father of an extremely autistic and mute 10-year-old whose capabilities make him a rare but valued entity, to a very powerful groupContinue reading “The Wonder Of Touch”
