The 4ever Movie
If you were around in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s and lived in the Appalachian Highlands I’m sure you remember the success of the East Tennessee State University basketball team. The ETSU team in question won the Southern Conference Championship four years in a row and left a lasting legacy. Said team is the […]

All The Bright Places
I will begin by saying the new film “All the Bright Places” is not exactly the cheeriest story ever told, but it’s still touching. The film is based on the young adult novel of the same name by Jennifer Niven. The story involves two high school students, Violet Markey (Elle Fanning) and Theodore Finch (Justice […]

BH 90210
“Beverly Hills, 90210” is back! If you were around in the 1990’s you know or heard about the show that became a hit in the world of pop entertainment. The Fox series began in 1990, and after watching the first episode, I became a fan. When I traveled to Los Angeles in 1992 I hoped to […]

The Lion King
While Disney seems determined to reboot every animated movie in their vast catalogue, it should come as no surprise they have released a “live-action” version of the 1994 blockbuster “The Lion King.” The mega hit is loved by all generations, and I’m surprise it took this long to see Simba and crew brought back to […]

Spider-Man: Far From Home
“Spider-Man Goes on Vacation”, I mean “Spider-Man: Far From Home”, is the latest film featuring the iconic web-slinger. The new film is set eight months after the events of “Avengers: Endgame”, and Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland) is still distraught over the death of his good friend and mentor Tony Stark/Ironman. To get some relief from […]

The film is a fantasy/musical/comedy/romance, and stars Himesh Patel as Jack Malik, a teacher who aspires to be a singer-songwriter. He is supported in his efforts […]
