Well, I did learn a bit about local history. Odd I’ve never been to the actual house. My wife tells me that, other than the obvious, many threads of the story are true to life. Poor old Mrs. Winchester dealing with the perceived guild of being part of the Winchester enterprise. I think the movie… |

Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky franchise lives on, now centered on a new generation and an African-American hero. This all works and provides a dose of social relevance, making Creed II a solid entrant in the Rocky canon. It’s also a better than average boxing movie, largely because it follows the …

Bradley Cooper & Lady Gaga got themselves the best Star is Born of the past half-century. Think about it, Cooper & Gaga beat Kristofferson and Streisand all to hell, he the better actor, she the better rock singer. Nevermind that Cooper’s major moviestar turn as a rootsy rockstar with a ragi…
