In this movie, Charles Muntz …

Killer Diller, a 1948 movie doesn’t really feel like a movie. What it feels more like is a cavalcade of talent, African Americans who could really put on a show. Having never seen this before, I was amazed by the show and pretty much enjoyed it all.

The best way to describe the movie “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” is a good look through Greek traditions in a comical way. Originally, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” was a one women play. When Tom Hank’s wife, Nina Wilson saw it, she told her husband how great it …

In 1984, the movie Pigs vs Freaks was aired. Oddly, it had been filmed in 1980, and in truth, it was loosely based on a game that had been written up in Time Magazine in 1970. In other words, this movie was a long time coming. …
