Excellent Acting in "A Better Life"

Unless you’ve been watching movies from south of the border, the name Demián Bichir may be foreign to you. Being nominated for Best Actor this year by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences will hopefully give Bichir, not only more name recognition, but more acting roles in the future.“A Better Life” tells the…See More

We Should All Go Back to School

The First Grader2010Everyone in the United States can go to school. How we spend our time and how much we learn, differs widely, but the opportunity is a given. When it was announced on the radio in Kenya, that “everyone was entitled to an education”, school age children rushed to register to learn. Among them, and clearly a…See More

HUGO - Best Picture? Really?

Hugo2011Remember the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, “The Emperor’s New Clothes”? (If not, you can read this charming story for free at http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/type1620.html.)Before the end credits rolled for Martin Scorsese’s “Hugo”, the comparison was fully implanted in my…See More

"Young Adult" is a Yawn

 Isn’t even a black comedy supposed to be funny? “Young Adult” is promoted as such and has strong comedy credentials behind it. Director Jason Reitman once again teamed with writer Diablo Cody (they worked together on “Juno”). Another plus being the movie stars the stunning Charlize Theron playing a depressed thirty-something, Mavis…See More

Rebecca Redshaw commented on Rebecca Redshaw's blog post '"Training Rules" at Penn State?'
TRAINING RULES was reviewed and posted before the most recent scandal at Penn State. One has to wonder how long and how deep the corruption goes at the university.

"Training Rules" at Penn State?

Training Rules2009 “Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.” Coach Vince Lombardi That oft quoted adage evidently held true at Penn State University for the 25 years that Rene Portland coached the women’s basketball team. Yes, Coach Portland won a number of Big Ten titles, and, yes, she had the endorsement of Penn State icon,…See More

Patriot Guard Riders

Patriot Guard RidersCabbie, Conan, and Bartender have one thing in common, they are members of the Patriot Guard Riders and each has a voice in the documentary film of the same name. “Cabbie” is a scholarly Viet Nam vet with a ponytail and graying beard. “Conan” is an ex-Marine…See More

"Win Win" a winner!

Win Win2011 If you don’t know Thomas McCarthy, allow me to introduce you to one of the best writer/directors of the last decade. In between his first feature, “The Station Agent” (2003), followed by the equally charming and insightful film, “The Visitor” (2007), McCarthy spends time as a working actor whose face you may have…See More

Thank God "The Music Never Stopped"

The Music Never Stopped2011Remember the song that was playing the first time you fell in love? The lullaby your mother sang to you? The tears that well up every time a favorite hymn or anthem is sung? Music has so much unmeasured power over our emotions and memories, it is hard to imagine what life would be like if there was…See More

Gnomeo and Juliet in the garden. Really? Gnomes?

 Gnomeo & Juliet2011 Summer’s winding down. Why not have some fun with gnomes? Shakespeare’s play of young lovers and the challenges they face has been told and retold hundreds of times, but never with adorable talking garden gnomes. Putting all reverence to the original work aside, “Gnomeo & Juliet” is a fun,…See More

Midnight in Paris

Midnight in Paris2011 Maybe because Woody Allen makes so many movies, we tend to take him for granted. Averaging a new release every two years since (can you believe it) 1969, it’s like, “Oh, well, time for another Woody Allen movie.” Avid fans may be first in line no matter what the critical reviews, but the writer/director…See More

Phil Ochs: There But for Fortune

Phil Ochs: There But for Fortune2010 It seems oddly appropriate to paraphrase a folk song by Pete Seeger in a review of the documentary film, “Phil Ochs: There But for Fortune” and yet one has to wonder “Where Have All the Troubadours Gone?” Ochs was a passionate singer/songwriter during the 60’s and 70’s, actively involved in the Civil Rights movement, labor injustices, and the Viet Nam war protests. Not as well known as Seeger and Ochs contemporary, Bob Dylan, the film introduces the man and…See More

Stonewall Revisited

Stonewall Uprising                                                  2010If you were born after 1980, the events of the 60’s and 70’s may seem like a page out of your history books. If you were born before 1980, the “happenings” of that period may be replayed in your memory as troubling times. There were protests about the U.S.…See More

"Tis the Season (and I Don't Mean Christmas)



Black tie, tux, and date on loan

Dresses you can’t call your own

Limos stretched, jewelry checked

Paparazzi pack the decks

Hours long before the show

Red carpet answers “yes” & “no”

Find your seat close to the stage

Front row status all the…

A new book about how Tina Turner shaped a coming out story...

Hi everyone... I just wanted to invite you all to check out my new book, Arrows Across Eons: Becoming Tina Turner - which Mr. Snow himself will be reviewing...God? Tina Turner? A 12-year-old kid? Somehow everything is profoundly connected…in the most magical of ways. A young Canadian girl resists everything that doesn’t feel right, and finds shelter and inspiration in the powerhouse example of Tina Turner. Years later, she moves to Los Angeles and literally runs into Ike Turner…who then…See More
