I confess, I'm not the best person to expound on Mr. Lewis's career, as I haven't seen many of his films, but of course, everyone knows his name, and that of his illustrious long-time partner, Mr. … Continue reading RIP Jerry Lewis
Saturday Sundry
Publishing of my new book, The Wisdom of Walt Disney is planned for sometime next week. I originally planned to publish it this week, but needed more time for editing and such.

RIP Haruo Nakajima
I've just learned that Haruo Nakajima, the stuntman and actor who originated the role of Godzilla himself, has passed away at the age of 88 of pneumonia. Now all the major players of that greatest of monster films are gone, with the sole exception of Akira Takarada. Mr. Nakajima was a stuntman and bit player … Continue reading RIP Haruo Nakajima
Noble Snake Announcement
And the first Noble Snake Reviews video will be... This film holds a special place in my heart. It was my favorite movie when I was little, and watching it now it holds up surprisingly well. There are a lot of rich ideas to sink my teeth into buried beneath the awesome animation and great … Continue reading Noble Snake Announcement
