Make Every Week EARTH WEEK

Remember, ladies and gentlemen.. The small things add up. Recycling, conserving water, using reusable bags, abstaining from meat at least one day of the week. In these unprecedented times, the earth seems to be healing itself. We probably have bought some time. Let's show the earth some love and keep up the small steps...but giant leaps towards a healthier climate for our future generations. https://www.earthday.org/

All Play And No Work Makes Jack A Birthday Boy (Happy Birthday Jack Nicholson!)

Image
Born on April 22nd 1937, the great Jack Nicholson celebrates a birthday and a legendary career spanning six decades. His filmography is littered with Hollywood classics, like "Easy Rider," "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest," "Terms Of Endearment," "Chinatown," and "The Departed." Much like movie star icons Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, and James Stewart, he is an actor often imitated but more often than not it's out of love. He has been nominated 12 times for the Academy Award (the most of any male actor) and won once for Best Supporting Actor ("Terms Of Endearment") and twice for Best Actor ("One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" and "As Good As It Gets"). Surely a career worthy of praise. But if you erase all of those accolades and just recognize him for his role in horror and his roles in villainy, it's STILL an impressive career. Early in his career he starred in Roger Corman's cult

A Modern Man Of Many Faces (Happy Birthday Tim Curry!)

Image
The sign of a truly great actor is his ability to BECOME the character. Slide into it as the actor or actress disappears and the character becomes real. Few actors have achieved the kind of disappearing acts of a true actor that the great Tim Curry has. He rose to fame as the transvestite mad scientist Frank-N-Furter in the 1975 cult classic "Rock Horror Picture Show." Aside from theater roles like "Hair," he also starred in supporting roles in the film "Annie." My sister was a massive fan of that film and I used to watch it often when I was a kid. Many a great performer appeared in that film, and Mr. Curry held his own with legendary talent. Of course, he would become legendary himself in the years to come. He would have a hellish time portraying Darkness in the 1985 film "Legend." This is perhaps the ultimate 'disappear into the character' role as he was simply unrecognizable in the extreme make-up. The film is still a curious fa

Honey, I'm Blowing Out The Candles! (Happy Birthday Rick Moranis!)

Image
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

Unrivaled (Happy Birthday Rowdy Roddy Piper)

Image
I grew up an insane WWE (formerly WWF) fan and I loved the energy and excitement of the wrestling superstars. Hulk Hogan. Randy Savage. Andre The Giant. They were all larger than life. And of the the greats from that era was the amazing 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper. He displayed an energy that was unrivaled. And that's saying something, since every superstar was as over-the-top and insane as you can remember. For those that don't know wrestling, there's a term called 'heel.' Basically in the early days there were good guys and bad guys. It was The '80's...pretty clear cut in those days. And Piper was a heel. But he was so brilliant in his delivery and his mic skills that he was among the most popular of superstars. I believe all of the 'grey' wrestling superstars have benefited from his legacy. You could be considered a heel but if you had the charisma, you were loved. And much like a handful of wrestling superstars that made the leap to The B

A Bewitching Talent (Happy Birthday Elizabeth Montgomery)

Image
The Emmy and Golden Globe nominated actress Elizabeth Montgomery was born on April 15th 1933 and was a star of stage and screen spanning five decades. The daughter of actor Robert Montgomery, she appeared in her fathers television series "Robert Montgomery Presents" and even won a Theater World Award for her Broadway debut in "Late Love." But for many fans of classic television, she will forever be known as Samantha Stephens in the late '60's - '70's sitcom "Bewitched." "Bewitched" ended it's run in 1972 but I was very familiar with the show thanks to syndication. She was a lovely, charming presence onscreen and the show overall was just a pleasant treat for sitcom lovers. It never ceased to put a smile on your face and leave you feeling happy. After the shows run, she made some notable television movies. My favorite by FAR is her appearance as Lizzie Borden in 1975's "The Legend Of Lizzie Borden." Aside f
