Honey, I'm Blowing Out The Candles! (Happy Birthday Rick Moranis!)
Rick Moranis was born on April 18th, 1953 and originally started his career in entertainment as a disc jockey in Toronto, Ontario, where he was born.
He ended up doing sketch comedy in the Second City Television Series (SCTV) and continued to rise, heading off to Hollywood.
From there he starred in some of The '80's most beloved comedies. "Little Shop Of Horrors." "Parenthood." The great Mel Brooks spoof "Spaceballs," which was such a treat being a Star Wars fan. And of course the "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids" franchise.
But I knew him from one beloved '80's franchise...Ghostbusters.
His character Louis Tully provided some of the biggest laughs in an already hilarious pair of films and he, along with the famous cast, brought such joy to my childhood.
I used to watch the films, the cartoon show (which his character also appeared from time to time), had the toys, drank the Ecto Cooler. What a time to be alive!
He also had some impressive hits in The '90's, with the continuation of the "Honey, I Shrunk" franchise, along with "The Flintstones" as the lovable Barney Rubble.
But after a few appearances in the Disney "Brother Bear" films, he stayed away from Hollywood.
The good news is that after a hiatus of over a decade, he will be back in another "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids" sequel, headed for Disney +. It's going to be amazing to see him again in a comedy. I sure have missed him.

Intentional Parallels? ("Conclave" Movie Review)
"Conclave" is a mystery thriller based on the 2016 Robert Harris book of the same name. Starring Ralph Fiennes, John Lithgow, Stanley Tucci, and Isabella Rossellini, the film focuses on the most powerful group of the Catholic Church cardinals as they mourn their recently deceased pope and prepare to vote for a new one. As they continue to vote and debate the merits of the nominees, many twists and turns present bumps in the road. And that last twist...well, it's a doozy. Being a registered independent, this film firmly leans in the progressive side of things, though corruption seeps into all sides. It is a fight for those in the middle to choose which way the church will continue into the future. Whether it should go back to reading Latin and become so conservative that they choose not to accept other religions or liberal points of view, or whether to continue to go in a more progressive way and deal with the world as it changes. As I watched this film I couldn't help...
