You bet, CJ, I'll admit that in a heartbeat. Very entertaining: great writing, directing, acting, filming and scoring. And great bongo playing, too.

A few minor differences between Hollywood and reality: Mr. Phelps and his crew were never depicted administering physical torture to anyone, much less some completely innocent farmer whose neighbor ratted him out for the reward money and then stole his property while he was being 'extremely renditio...

Nobody...but NO BODY...coulda played this role better than Steve:

If that clip don't bring a tear to your eye, then you need to go right down to the shop where you pawned your soul and get that baby back outta hock...


See ya up on Copperhead Road, ya'll...

I first saw Mission Impossible in 1968, living in a US Army housing area on a hill above Zweibrucken, Germany...a block of apartment buildings that (I would learn much later) had housed families of SS men in WWII. We had a cranky old B&W tv that got one German station...we used to watch stuff li...

Sorry, Sheena, but I have to disagree with your review...I'm callin' this: 'Funny to the point of bein' not bad!'

My new favorite music video:

I don't think it will 'embed', so I believe you just have to double click on it to open a youtube window, and it should play then. Please be patient, I know it doesn't look like a music video at first, but oh, it sure is....

This appears to be a depiction of him earlier in his career, when he still had earlobes.

I awoke at 4:30 am MST with the realization that I had meant to type 'frere'....virally induced fevers always mess with my French spelling.

Pardonnez-moi, mes amis...

Au contraire, mon fraire...my wife also enjoys an occasional cigar...but she is a drummer, after all.

Churchill...cigars...it all makes perfectly logical sense to me...

When I was an infant (less than a year old) in Ethiopia, I contracted some horrendous mysterious disease. The Army doctors at the Post clinic couldn't figure out what it was...they said the symptoms came closest to matching those of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. When it began to look as if I might b...

It may take some folks a bit of time to realize that what they're seeing here is not a 'mini' NY, but a film of the full-scale original shot in such a way as to make it seem a miniature. I believe this approach was pioneered by the Italian film maker Olivo Barbieri...here's his 'site specific - vega...
