Some actors and actresses can make multiple movies together and they have wonderful chemistry. That’s what I call “movie magic”! Photo Credit: PopSugar I was never a big fan of Adam Sandler’s early years, but he gained me as a fan when he teamed up with the adorable Drew Barrymore. And even though they have only made three movies together, their chemistry is undeniably wonderful. They first teamed together in The Wedding Singer. Then again in 50 First Dates.

All Grown Up
I often watch movies and think of the actors or actresses, “They are the same age as me.” Then I think about other movies I’ve seen them in and realize that the movie I’m thinking of is 20-something years old… And that makes me feel old. I was watching Argo the other night and was really impressed with Ben Affleck. He has matured as an actor and has become a wonderful director/producer. I remember him as the tough Boston kid who played opposite his best friend, Matt Damon, in the award-winning movie Good Will Hunting. It got me to thinking […]
Remembering Great Talent
I forgot how beautiful Whitney Houston’s voice was until I turned on the TV and watched her in Sparkle, her last acting role before her tragic death. Even though this movie is a couple of years old, seeing Whitney Houston brought a smile to my face and a tear to my eye.

Sparkle forms a trio with her sisters, Sister Williams (played by Carmen Ejogo) and Delores Williams (played by Tika Sumpter). This movie was to have been Whitney Houston’s acting comeback, as she […]

The 2013 version of The Great Gatsby has been airing on HBO this past month, and […]
Kiss Me, I'm Irish!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I hope you are wearing green today, because if you’re not, then someone can pinch you… Or if you’re wearing green, you can expect someone to kiss you because you are Irish… Or something like that. I like this holiday because green is my favorite color and I like me Lucky Charms! Sorry, I was trying out some Irish humor… But seriously, I don’t wear green a lot, unless you count the several pairs of knickers I’ve got in varying shades of green. Sorry, T.M.I. Anyway, I like wearing green because it brightens up my green […]
