What is it with archery-skilled heroes that I find intriguing? Legolas, Robin Hood, Katniss Everdeen, and soon Princess Merida in Pixar’s BRAVE … somehow the art of shooting with a bow and arrow just looks so darn cool on screen. Now, this Fall, the CW network is bringing the show ARROW based on the Comics [...]

The one thing I found appealing right away is of course the cast: Michael Douglas, Antonio Banderas, Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor, Bill Paxton… and the femme fatale, a real mixed-martial arts fighter Gina Carano. Soderbergh confessed to the Hall H panel at Comic-con that he ‘discovered’ Carano fighting in a cage whilst watching TV on [...]

Happy Monday all! Hope you had a nice weekend. Mine was quite busy but in a good way. For our anniversary celebration, we went to see the Addams Family play on Friday night at the Ordway Theater in St. Paul. Truth be told, I’m not that familiar with the story nor have I seen the [...]

Happy Birthday Gabriel Byrne! Five fave roles of the elegant Irish thespian

Today one of my favorite Irish actors Gabriel Byrne turns 62. He still looked so darn good for being in his 60s that I thought he’s much younger than that. Hence my omission from my Top 10 Favorite Seasoned Actors list. He was however on my list of Top 10 Chat-Worthy Irish Actors, and not only because [...]

Greetings, all and sundry! I am going to take a step sideways and count some coup. Regarding a few recent minor victories involving films that come very close to or exceed ‘Required Viewing’ status. I’m thrilled that my recent labor of love entailing ‘The French Connection’ tempted Ruth and others to enjoy its gritty suspenseful wonders. So, I [...]
