The Academy Awards are just days away. By this time next week, ardent movie fans and even casual movie fans will likely be participating in some kind of Oscar tittle tattle.

I missed the whole audition process as I took a day off on Monday, but on my co-workers’ desk the next day I saw a stack of actors’ resumes and head-shots that he’s currently sorting through.

Greetings, all and sundry! Once again, I would like to take advantage of Ruth’s largesse and wax poetic about a film that cemented my belief that Robert Duvall is a solid talent to be reckoned with. In what many consider to be a ‘Criminal Revenge B-Movie’, but is so much more! Hence, I proffer. Made [...]
