Last December I wrote a review about the Star Wars Novel TARKIN.

While reading Gary D. Rhodes' book TOD BROWNING'S DRACULA, I took the opportunity to revisit both versions of the film that Universal produced in 1931.

THE IMITATION GAME is what I refer to as a "Oscar Bait" movie. What I mean by that is the picture features several of the usual ingredients necessary to be nominated for multiple Academy Awards, such as: --the star of the film being British (or at least a native of a country belonging to the Britis read more
