Survivor of the Week: Kimberly Dugger

August 13, 2006 my whole world changed. Here I am 34 years old with a month old daughter, a ten year old daughter, and a 6 year old son, and I am being told I need a biopsy on my right breast. I have never been so scared in my life, since I had already […]

Last week we introduced you to Silver Dollar City, undoubtedly one of the best theme parks found in the country. Like its sister park Dollywood, you’re transported to a world of world-class shows, food, entertainment, and thrill rides. We finally made our first trip to Branson over the summer and were so impressed with the […]

It’s Just a Review, Right?

It’s often been said, don’t meet your heroes. I’ve broken that rule and held on to it tight as can be on various occasions. Sorry and sacred I’ve been on some nights. I’ve met heroes, said my piece on their influence and other times just held the handshake and no words were shared, just vibration. […]

Halloween

I’m glad the new movie “Halloween” has that title and not “Halloween 2”, “Halloween Returns”, or “Halloween Strikes Back.” The simple title hearkens back to the 1978 original film of the same name, which is even better since this is a direct sequel. It’s also great all the other less-than stellar sequels have been forgotten […]

Village of the Damned

I wonder what was going on the media zeitgeist in the early 1960s where two prominent works of media focused on creepy children with terrifying powers. In December 1960 MGM released “Village of the Damned” a big screen adaptation of the 1957 John Wyndham novel “The Midwich Cuckoos.” Then in 1961, Rod Serling’s seminal TV […]

Free Screenings of ‘Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World’

RUMBLE: The Indians Who Rocked the World is an electrifying look at the Native American influence in popular music — despite attempts to ban, censor and erase Indian culture. The film reveals how early pioneers of the blues and jazz had Native American roots, and as the folk-rock era took hold in the ’60s and […]

Ride With MarQ’s Tour of Solar System Spacecraft

The autumn nights have Red Mars and yellow Saturn shining bright in the southern skies on each side of the setting Milky Way. As you look up, just imagine these worlds in a new perspective through the eyes of the man-made spacecraft orbiting them. Strap into my virtual rocket, Starship Q, and get a look […]
