Okay, so I’m a sucker for these types of shoot ’em up action movies, even though they already did this storyline on 24 a few years ago. 🙂 It’s brand-new so I thought all of you action movie buffs might want to check it out. Odd thing is that it looks more like “Die Hard” than the new “Die Hard.” Maybe they should have had John McClane join the secret service. Read more

A few days ago, I came across Cee-Lo Green’s “Mary, Did You Know” set to footage from the upcoming The Bible television series produced by Mark Burnett (Survivor, The Voice, The Apprentice). Since that video received so many views, the producers have put this video out featuring music from fellow Voice judge Blake Shelton. It’s a nice video, too. Here’s Cee-Lo Green’s “Mary, Did You Know?” Read more

One of my favorite parts of going to the movies is watching the previews. So I created a YouTube playlist of some of the more interesting movies coming out in 2013. Man of Steel is tops at this point, but there are some others that look pretty cool as well. They will all play one after another if you click the video below. What do you think? What looks good to you? Read more

When someone says “I dare you to watch this video and not cry,” although it catches my attention, I’m usually skeptical. But throw in kids who face big challenges who finally get their moment in the spotlight and, well . . . I invite you to watch this video and have whatever reaction your little or big heart desires. Read more

With three daughters, I can certainly identify with this video, even more in the coming years. Isn’t it neat? Read more

As an audiophile-turned-journalist, I have my share of stories from the musical trenches. I love to tell them and my friends are so nice to oblige me by listening. There are funny moments backstage, bewildering memories singing with an artist in the studio or even hosting a birthday part in a hotel room. But thankfully Chynna Phillips provided me with the story to beat all others. When I was a teenager watching Wilson Phillips parade around on that beach in... Read more

For a while, I’ve meant to write a short tutorial on de-cluttering Facebook news feeds. With last night’s Presidential debate still so fresh in my mind and hearing social media feedback, perhaps there’s no better time than the present. Full disclosure: I realize I am a chief of the political posters, perhaps because I feel that the direction the country is headed is at least as important as what we made for dinner or how lousy your day is going.... Read more
