Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind*

Legendary New York Yankees' broadcaster John Sterling passed away this morning at age 87. Join me for a look back at his incredible career in general, and his extraordinary 35 season run with the Yankees.

The newest entry in our ongoing series is the classic 1986 comedy Back to School, starring unquestioned comedy GOAT Rodney Dangerfield.

Continuing our look back at the Dirty Harry franchise with the 4th entry, 1983's hugely successful (but very problematic) Sudden Impact.

Despite being a fan of the MCU and comic book movies in general, I've barely discussed the MCU on the channel. We're about to change all that, starting with a deep dive back to 2008's OG Iron Man.

On the occasion of his 86th birthday, let's rewind to 1993 and Al's fantastic turn as a former crime boss determined to go straight in Brian DePalma's terrific crime drama Carlito's Way. 

On Jack Nicholson's 89th birthday, a look at 2003's Something's Gotta Give, a critical and financial success... and a character who seems quite similar to "The Real Jack," or more accurately how he was perceived.

The newest entry in our ongoing series is Barry Levinson's fantastic adaptation of Lorenzo Carcaterra's controversial bestseller.

Following up our discussion of Magnum Force earlier this week with a look at the next film in the Dirty Harry series, The Enforcer (1976).

The first part of our chat had us breaking down Steel Magnolias, now we turn our focus to Ali's personal experience with Type 1 Diabetes and how she's adjusted in the last decade, since her diagnosis.

Part 1 of my chat with Ali Johntry, T1 LADA Diabetic, Educator, and Long Island Entrepreneur. Stay tuned for Part 2!

Seen by many critics as a kind of "apology" for the 1971 original, Magnum Force is a thought-provoking film which gets into all kinds of gray areas...

Mike Nichols' 1967 masterpiece is the newest entry in our ongoing series.

The newest entry in our ongoing series is Richard Donner's masterful 1978 "OG" Superman: The Movie

Gregory Hoblit's twisty courtroom thriller Primal Fear opened April 5, 1996. Richard Gere is solid, but Edward Norton -- en route to a Supporting Actor Oscar nom in his film debut -- steals the film as a former altar boy accused of murder.

Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, and Robert DeNiro have all played Satan. Which of these legends did it best?

During the summer of 1980, 6 y.o. me saw a TV commercial about "a pitching machine for kids" called "Reggie Jackson's Bat Away." I HAD TO HAVE THIS. Join me for a nostalgic piece of true history - me, my dad, Reggie, and a deceptively solid mechanical contraption that was almost revolutionary for 1980.

The newest entry in our ongoing series is John Carpenter's surprisingly hopeful scifi classic Starman.

A key figure in the evolution of New American Cinema, 14x Oscar nominee Warren Beatty turns 89 today.

As movie weekends go, the weekend of March 26, 1992 ranks with the best, and certainly as good as any, *ever*, in the first quarter of a year. That weekend's boxoffice was led by White Men Can't Jump, followed by Basic Instinct, My Cousin Vinny, and Wayne's World.

Hope springs eternal! The 2026 New York Yankees open the season in San Francisco! Join me for some obscure history and personal tales of old-school days at the Big Ballpark in the Bronx.

Garry Marshall's 1991 romcom Frankie and Johnny works better than it should, thanks to the efforts of its two great stars, Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer.

Billy Crystal spoke eloquently during the Oscars' tribute to Rob Reiner, his close friend and collaborator. Join me for some musings about Billy, including a "family connection," and thoughts on his career and legendary turns as Oscars' host.

Six years ago this week, the world slowed to a crawl... then seemed to stop. Desperate Hours, indeed.
