Remember “Party of Five”? The seminal ’90s show gave us five young siblings who struggled to keep their family together after suffering horrible tragedy. The show opens six months after a drunk driver kills their parents. The five are left to fend for themselves with the two brothers and three sisters caring for each other
Imagine being able to see Alec Baldwin on the silver screen at his best and always in his prime—but never ever having to put up with his over the top, far left windbaggery ever again. Imagine Sean Penn in his glory days, forever, but never again having to hear him praise whatever America-hating regime has
Real sports fans take their teams with them. Even when they move to work for the federal government. Nothing brings Red Sox, Yankees, Mets, and Phillies fans together better than a bar full of sloppy K Street Nationals fans because no one is actually from D.C.—though too many do acclimate to this swampy place. Wander
Hollywood loves four things: sex, guns, crazy, and money. Quentin Tarantino has made a career of amping up all four brilliantly in his movies. Have you seen “John Wick” 1-3? The entire entertainment industry feeds off them, and as the saying goes in local news, “If it bleeds, it leads.” But Hollywood and its media
For decades now, public schools and society at large have fretted about how to stop bullying. At some point in the 1990s, some time around the Columbine High School massacre, bullying became a public crisis. Public crises must have a government program, which must have a logo, and must have posters and handouts and a
The produce aisle has become a minefield; church isn't safe—and the workplace is far more dangerous than ever. If this continues, the species may not. No joke. Men and women used to meet—and sometimes flirt—at such places. Often, they ended up married. Ronald Reagan met Nancy on a movie set; so did Ayn Rand (who
The recent HBO miniseries, Chernobyl, tells the story of two disasters. There’s the story of the reactor explosion at the shoddily built and incompetently operated nuclear power plant at Chernobyl near Kiev in the spring of 1986—which poisoned an entire city, forced its permanent evacuation and spread radioactive fallout all over Europe. And
Avengers: Endgame” is about to soar into theaters nationwide. We know this because a new trailer drops almost weekly and we all are about to lose our nerdy minds. Based on the events of last year's “Avengers: Infinity War,” we surmise that the perished half of the universe Thanos, the Mad Titan, wiped
This year marks two decades since television was changed forever. If “The Sopranos” had been created today instead of in the late ‘90s, would Tony Soprano be a kinder, gentler, more virtue signaling mob boss? Could the scriptwriters even mention “made men,” or would it need to be a gender-neutral pronoun? What about
It's time for a jailbreak. Every year from 1969 to 2017, auteur filmmaker Woody Allen released a movie. Every single year. Many of them were masterpieces. “Bullets Over Broadway,” “Hannah and Her Sisters,” “Annie Hall,” “Manhattan,” and “Match Point” are among what I consider his works of genius. Not all of Allen’s films
