Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Man of the Year: 1 of 6

Title: MAN OF THE YEAR Starring: ROBIN WILLIAMS, CHRISTOPHER WALKEN, LAURA LINNEY, LEWIS BLACK Genre: COMEDY/DRAMA Man Of The Year looked promising when I saw the previews for the theatrical release, but I was reluctant to go see it. Much as I love Robin Williams, and I positively worship at the alter of Lewis Black, I was s...
Entertainment > TV Genres & Trends Soap operas: Death is magic & the afterlife is standard: 1 of 1

Nobody does death like the soaps. Mainly because nobody but soap writers have the audacity to make death so easily reversible. Anyone on a soap opera can die. The writers "pull the plug" on characters without prejudice. However, prejudice does seem to arise when that character is wildly popular, because while they are not af...
Entertainment > Celebrity Biographies Biography: Eddie Izzard: 1 of 1

Born on February 7, 1962, to British parents who were in Yemin on business, Eddie Izzard has lead a life less ordinary and he's done it with his own sense of style. Yes, he is a transvestite, and he has been known to dress in drag on many occasions. He is not gay. He describes himself essentially, as a male lesbian. When he'...
Entertainment > Album Reviews Album reviews: Glows, by Rie Sinclair: 1 of 1

Rie's first full album is to be released this month. "On The 5th Floor" will feature her songs heard on General Hospital and other ABC shows. She is a contract musician for ABC and I personally feel that there was no way that they could top Rie Sinclair. Her sound has a hauntingly poetic beauty, not only in the music, but in...
Entertainment > TV Genres & Trends Why people watch soap operas: 15 of 23

Soap operas. They have been around for a very long time. Guiding Light has been on the air for 75 years! That, of course, includes the show's radio days. So what is it about soaps that keeps so many people coming back and tuning in day after day? After all, they do have a well earned reputation for being absurd and sappy. I ...
Entertainment > Entertainment (Other) The best superpower for a superhero: 22 of 24

If you could have any supernatural power, what would it be and why? I have some difficulty with this. I over-analyze things at times, so I pull up the good and the bad. Given my pessimistic nature, I often find the downside of things that most would think are great. It is no secret that I am a HUGE fan of the show Heroes. I ...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Family life, looking back at times gone by: 72 of 77

Nostalgia Is A Trip There is nothing like looking up old friends from your childhood to point out what a stunning mess your life has become. It was about five in the morning, and I was in the throes of my insomnia, sliding around the web and trying to come up with a topic for this week's column. For reasons VERY much beyond ...
Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Moral fiber: 4 of 4

Everyone seems to be concerned about morals these days but not THEIR moralsYOURS. I don't know who coined the term "moral fiber", and truth be told, I don't really care. What I can't sort out, is who decides what constitutes being moral. Our government seems to think that they get to decide what is moralbut seeing as they ar...
Religion & Spirituality > Speculations & Criticisms Testimonies: Religion is something personal: 2 of 2

All right, I am all for people having faith, believing in God, and so on. I really am. What I am not ok with is people trying to force me to believe what they believe, how they believe, and so on.... I don't even like talking religion with people I am close to, so I am not really inclined to share, hug, learn and grow with t...
