Rickman, who was born into a working-class family in London, began his acting career on the stage before graduating to Hollywood films.

He became one of the best-known villains in showbiz - appearing as Hans Gruber in Die Hard, the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and Professor Snape in the Harry Potter films.

The actor's other well-known films include Truly, Madly, Deeply, Sense and Sensibility and Love Actually, in which he played the wife of his frequent collaborator Emma Thompson.

Leonard Nimoy...a fine actor, well-known as Mr Spock from Star Trek..... has passed on but will not soon be forgotten. As the enigmatic Vulcan on Star Trek he was always the voice of reason combined with a touch of humor. He made Spock a name known to most...Trekkies or not...with his pointed ears,serious face but dry humor...his character brought a new type of hero to the series and we loved it! Recent bad health has plagued the actor and finally caught up...but he will still be there for us all to see on the screen...forever Spock in the series...Leonard Nimoy, farewell and thanks for the memories..

to relax...watching some movies i never had time for before ...such as Three Days of the Condor....what about everyone else....any good movies lately....

It took me months to clear my house and get it ready for sale. Admittedly, I dragged my feet and underestimated the time needed to sift through what I would keep, sell or discard.
Near then end, I had a box of VCR tapes and needed to decide their fate. Most of them were recordings my father took from cable TV shows like HBO. His favorites were Westerns. Offered for the taking on several yard sales, they got pulled back each night. Traumatized over the event, I was forced to say goodbye and put them into the recycle bin. Checking everything in the box, I pulled 2 tapes to keep. One was a home video of me and friends flying model helicopters and the other the movie Tuck Everlasting.

Today, I made time to view the tapes and pulled out the VCR machine, connected it to the TV and scanned both videos. Amazed both tapes actually played. I have a device called Dazzle that will allow me digitize the videos to store them on computer or DVD. Future project.

I did some research on the original movie, based on the novel by Natalie Babbitt. The original is not well known, but the 2002 Disney remake is. YouTube has it on their rental section. I often favor original movies, maybe one day I'll view it.

Briefly, Tuck Everlasting is a fictional story about The Tuck family around the 1900's who happened on a hidden spring and after drinking the water found it had magical properties. They became immortal. They didn't age but the folks around them did. Not to be noticed, they were forced to travel frequently as their secret not to be discovered. Young Jesse Tuck meets Winifred Foster and they fall in love. He reveals the family secret and wants her to drink from the spring. Through a series of errors, the family is tracked and forced to escape to a place where their identity is unknown. The boy urges Winnie to go to the hidden spring to drink the water, after he will return for her.
Sadly, many years have passed before his return only to find her grave marker.
Winnie married, had children and lived a long fulfilling life.
She never drank from the spring.



Some stories stay with you forever...

...I've always been all about rock, blues, jazz, etc. And a little Opera---VERY little. Always could rarely watch musicals, let alone most dance. Forget Ballet. Recently, going through the enormous DVD collection at public libraries. Second time around. Had done so skipping almost all of it, except for history, shoot-em-ups, and the like. Still rarely find anything funny about comedies. But today watched An American in Paris. Gene Kelly, Leslie Caron, et al, to Gershwin tunes. Corny vintage complicated, but redemptive, love stories. Paris scenes. Glad I did so. Never stop learning about what we think we already really know. Hubris.

It's great when YouTube plays full length movies... for free.
Usually, they are online for a limited basis then the status requires login, subscription, and a fee.
Be sure you have ad-block on your browser as I'm told every few minutes the movie is interrupted to play a commercial.

I'm watching STARGATE (again) tonight. I love the music score.

"Chevron seven locked in place"

One of the Best Serial Murder Investigation Movie based upon True Incidents ...

Sometimes it's not the crime or criminal , you are fighting against , but it's the system you have to fight against , which in fact was supposed to protect you from the crime...

And

Sometimes we just need only a few people to stand tall , stand firm , against all the odds , to make the difference ... Never underestimate the power of a single man...

To bring justice , we don't really need a full army , we need a few good men...

Investigator & a paranormal writer who visits local so-called ghost spottings, stays there, and then writes about them in his books to prove that spooky places and ghosts do not exist. One day someone sends him a postcard from the Dolphin Hotel located within the city. On the postcard it reads "Don't stay in 1408" and of course now Mike wants to find out why no one should stay in 1408. Seeing a chance to prove another haunt false, he decides to go to the Dolphin Motel and stay in 1408...

The film follows Mike Enslin, an author who investigates allegedly haunted houses and rents the titular room 1408 at a New York City hotel. Although skeptical of the paranormal, he is soon trapped in the room where he experiences bizarre events.

The room is numbered "1408". Add each number together, and it equals 13 (1+4+0+8=13). The room is on the 14th floor, and the hotel skips the 13th floor, so the room is technically on the 13th floor.

An anonymous postcard to not stay in room 1408.
(Do not Enter.... 1408
Dolphin Hotel)
Excellent story that will keep you watching as it bends not only John Cusack's mind but the viewers...

1408 is surprisingly interesting and lives
up to everything a
horror fan is looking for...

Absolutely worth a look.

You can get paid $1,000 to watch movies.
I am guessing that would help some of the people who are struggling to make ends meet.

Yes, if you get selected, you will not only get paid $1,000, but also get free gadgets and other stuff too.
You have to be at least 18 years old and watch 30 Disney movies in 30 days on their streaming network.

Here's the story;

Honestly, the last Disney movie I watched (with my girlfriend at the time),
was Aladdin, because it featured Robin Williams as the genie.
