Everybody is talking about "best film of the year," but I want to know if it is the "best film of the decade!" You think "The Wrestler" is the best film of 2008? How about, is it the best film of the 2000's? Let's see if we can break down a Top 5 List of the Best films of the 2000's (so...

After six volumes, it appears that Looney Tunes have decided to retire the Golden Collection format. But surely they haven't decided to retire the art of releasing theatrical cartoon shorts! So what can we expect next year from them? I'm hoping they'll go for something like The Complete...

We have to be grateful that at least one rock group can still make the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 these days - it is kind of a rarity, as rap and dance are really still the rage. Thank you, All-American Rejects for representing the "minority" who don't care for rap and dance. Honorable mention...

Will Smith is filling me with extreme confidence in regards to the movie-going experience. He has been putting out thought-insightful performances – real dramatic acting, and he is pitch-perfect! This new movie seems to be no exception…….here are two comments about the movie from IMDB: *I...

Why is that? Why when a record company decides to put out a greatest-hits collection of one of their artists, they don't release ALL the hits? When Bruce Springsteen's "Greatest Hits" came out in 1995, they left off Top 10 hits like I'm Goin' Down and Cover Me. What kind of practice is...

After all the many Titanic films (and slant on story), would even one on the Lusitania be considered a "redundancy" pertaining to a sinking luxury liner? True, the stories are very different (The Lusitania was sunk by a German Submarine's torpedo), but are we ready to have our hearts wrenched...

Why was it necessary for "Charlie the Gent" to be knocked off, when it was the brother, Terry, they wanted to quiet? I can see it as Smiley wanting Charlie the Gent's "full loyalty," even loyalty over the brother (Marlon Brando), and since Charlie chose his brother, that's why he was knocked...

There is such a wealth of Jackie Gleason material not available on DVD, and I don't just mean his stint as Ralph Kramden on "The Honeymooners". In 1951 or so, Gleason hosted a variety show called "Calvacade of Stars", and some of his sketch comedy included characters like Reginald Van...

Cocaine Cowboys, a 2006 documentary about drug kingpin Jon Roberts, is being made into a film starring Mark Wahlberg as Roberts, and Leonardo DiCaprio in a - gasp! - supporting role! The fact that DiCaprio is taking the backseat to Wahlberg must mean that the film is impressive enough to warrant...

I love the song The Finer Things, but the audio quality of this, and all Winwood solo material, is inferior to what it could be with a Remaster done for it. Seems that Steve Winwood has been overlooked when it comes to the good treatment. Any news to any upcoming remaster for his solo albums?

I found it appealing to see that Peter Jackson, after the epics he has put out, decided to keep it "fairly simple" with this upcoming project, which appears to be a straight drama with ordinary people (even if those ordinary people are extraordinarily good-looking). I have neither read the...

Even today, 23 years later, the song can enrapture me (the extended album version, not the abruptly ended single version) - great, great song. I can go so far to say it is the best song of the 1980's. Released from the album Welcome to The Real World, which went to No.1 in 1986 (released in...

Shattered Hopes Documentary Shattered Hopes docu progresses; Quantum helms makeup unit -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hollywood, CA/Jan. 17, 2008 - Katco has wrapped another large portion of its documentary on the Amityville murders...

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Bug...ollection/8456 This is kind of neat - a collage of classic cartoons on both a one-disc (winners) and a three-disc (winners & nominees) collection. Tom & Jerry itself has 7 Oscars and several nominations; Bugs Bunny won just one (???) and has a couple...

I believe four out of five seasons of I Dream of Jeannie are out now. Will they do for this what they done for Seinfeld - release both the last season and a "complete series" boxset? I've held off on buying the season-sets, so I'm hoping for the complete.

Brian Jones, he with the huge bags under his eyes, was truly the shining star of that group. Mick Jagger was the singer, Keith Richards was the gritty train-wreck, Charlie Watts was the guy who apparently was never a young man, and Brian Jones...well. I never knew too much about him, other...

Am I the only one who didn't know that The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy theme song was actually an Eagles song, off of their One of These Nights album? The tune is called Journey of the Sorcerer, and its the only instrumental on the album.

I'm curious to know if there has been any uproar or complaints from both the public and private sector over the "racy" cartoon shorts released these past couple years. I know they probably couldn't complain against the Tom and Jerry Spotlight collections because, for the most part, the discs...

Whether you have the American or the United Kingdom version of any album, which song was your favorite to end one of the Beatles albums?

I don't know, but lately I've really been digging foreign films. The makers of these pictures seem to know how to tell a story, unlike any Hollywood picture out there, who seem to have forgotten that a good story is what its all about. Not explosions and high-flying action. The few foreign...

http://www.amazon.com/Yellow-Submari...4700231&sr=1-1 Its for sale on Amazon, but apparently used, and quite expensive (over $50.00). Was this release initally a Region 0 (Canada), or something? It's never been officially released, by the looks of it. I watched a clip of it on the...

There are a lot of films depicting John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, etc, but which would you consider the best of the lot? (I know not everything is available on DVD yet.)

http://imdb.com/title/tt0460810/ I haven't really been "into" Tom Hanks movies since 2000, but this one seems to have an interesting premise: sounds a little like A Bronx Tale without the mob angle. A father (Tom Hanks) disapproves of his son's (Colin Hanks) career choice and mentor (Malkovich).

http://www.weezer.com/news/ While I wasn't too crazy about their last album, Make Believe, it did contain some greatness: Perfect Situation, This Is Such A Pity, and Freak Me Out, but it did have way too many duds (My Best Friend is lyrically weak). I've loved all other earlier albums...

What bands have recorded albums altogether, at the same time, essentially "live?" I know that the majority of albums are recorded this way: they lay the drum track, then they lay the guitar track, blah-blah, then finally the vocal track. I think that, a few decades ago, some albums were...

I only know of two albums that were recorded by just one person playing all the instruments themselves. 01: Centerfield by John Fogerty (1985) 02: McCartney by Paul McCartney (1970) That impresses the hell out of me, for some reason. One person laying down separate tracks...

For whatever reason, you never put any Beatles songs on your iPod, but now you finally think of it, but you only have room for one more song... ...which Beatles song would you choose?

"I Love You But I Ain't Gonna Be Your Fool" Ann-Margret guested on a Flintstones episode, and sang this song. It was left off the "Flintstones: Stone Age Melodies."

It would make a perfect "companion piece" to the POPEYE DVD coming out in July, but I haven't heard anything about a CD. I also heard that Michael Jackson has obtained the rights to all that is Popeye - from the cartoons themselves to the music. Well, any insight or head's-up about a possible...

He does a song where the lyrics go like this: Was it you who did the pushing left the stains upon the cushion footprints on the dashboard upside-down Was it you, you sly wood pecker who got into my daughter Rebecker if it was you, you better leave this town -REPLY- Yes, was I who...
