I'm worried that it will inspire couples to stay in failing marriages -- unions that will combust with or without God's help because sometimes,...

I may continue my Ghostbusters @ 25 series today, if I finish the post on Ernie Hudson. Or I may spread the series out over this month. We'll see. In the meantime, peruse the My Best Post Blogathon at He Shot Cyrus , a new-ish blog that's a lot of fun. The proprietor certainly knows more about the realm of blogging than I do. Exhibit A: He seems...

...movies in 1997 and hasn't been seen since. But he's been heard from. You'll see what I mean In Ghostbusters : Moranis plays Louis Tully, the wimpy accountant living next to Dana Barrett in an apartment building constructed as a conduit for demons. In the first film, we see him whenever he pops out of his apartment to say hello to Dana....

...movies died yesterday at 83 of cancer. I'll leave the official eulogizing to the pros . Instead, some memories of Paul from my life, apart from the fact that I always always buy his pasta sauces His performance in 1982's The Verdict is a rhapsody, the crown jewel of his career, and should be part of any acting school curriculum.

It's my favorite movie. And every year it gets less hyperbolic and more real. Except for one thing: No one is yelling yet. No one is listening to Howard Beale. Today, there are no mass protests, no swell of angry popular movement against the utter mismanagement of this country. Today, we watch the TV and the Internets as people tell us about bad...

...movies. Two. Joan Allen in The Contender in 2000. Glenn Close in Air Force One in 1997. Can anyone think of others? Watch this trailer for Air Force One, and revel in popcorny pre-9/11 nostalgia The Contender, my favorite movie ever about politics, has more serious things to say about the Woman-as-VP concept.
