Under the cover of Covid, and now in the shadow of the infamous Election Irregularities of that fated 2020 presidential election, with current emerging alleged election fraud in Nevada and Pennsylvania inconveniently slipping into the public discourse, there is proved a colluded ongoing Election Interference in the nomination of the Republican candidate, the likes of which has never occurred in our Constitutional Republic's history, albeit, the question remains: Do you support the plain-sight Election Interference of the Democratic Socialist party, employing its minions in their Propagandistic Media, and their Two Tiered Justice System?
98.88% No, I do not support Election Interference; I am a patriot unto our Constitution.
1.12% Yes, I do support Election Interference; the alternative, Donald Trump, to this mentally diminished president is far worse.
0% "What, me worry" if elections are rigged?

A review of Music, Movie, Life or Politics, You be the judge. Back in 1963 when I was a hopeless romantic, I saw a movie that told me all I needed to know about life.

I have always enjoyed film reviews ... well some of them. Obviously our readers do too.
 
Divergent, in the similar formula of Hunger Games, proposes a future world forever changed by a cataclysmic event, against the simmering backdrop of teen angst, and maturing relationships of the opposite sex.

Jean Shepherd's humorist view a of one family's Christmas skewed toward the bizarre in a very cold northern Indiana - very industrial, very middleclass, and of course, very funny.

What began as a feel-good suicide 'Indie' film, with strident overtones of highly dysfunctional sexuality all around, quickly devolved into a poorly written Saturday Night Live sketch that struggled on far too long.

It seems the author, P.L. Travers, was quite a hand-full for Walt Disney. With all pomp and circumstance she was invited to Los Angeles to approve the script and movie.

I trust many of you have discovered the Roosevelt series running this week on PBS at 8:00. It is Proof Positive that history repeats itself and positions change drastically so don't assume what neither Democrat nor Republican stands for.

This essential one phrase maxim is the film, veritable bookends in an analogy of its contents from start to finish.

The terribly flawed congressional members that were used as foils - a backdrop or canvas to paint this morality play - were just one of the many parallels to today's society that gave this film the edginess of real life.

The film "Revolutionary Road" dealt with some of the same issues as "Rachel Getting Married," but there were two huge differences.

In understanding the symbolic qualities deep within the historical context of this film, one can make the argument that Director Stephen Daldry's adaptation of David Hare's screenplay of the widely read Bernhard Schlink book, is an important film.

Or possibly the other 5%, if the truly weird do walk among us, sniff our same air, taste our manner of possible nutrition.

The Batman series in celluloid has had more than its share of ups and downs, with four of the films; "Batman," "Bateman Returns," "Batman Begins," and "The Dark Knight" reasonably fine entertainment, and worthy of some notoriety amongst aficionados of the "caped crusader."

Director Darren Aronofsky's near remake of "The Champ" is an important film in the measure that it examines the life of the lost and the forgotten, after enjoying a small piece of the "American dream."

During "Yes Man," I recalled five occasions, or was it six, that registered fully on the "laughometer." A point of reference in what constitutes making the upper range of this device is: laughing to the point of tears gushing from my eyes and then my nose will register a two on that meter.

We should be able to all agree on this one issue: Nobody plays malevolent cool like Samuel L. Jackson - nobody.

"The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" gives us a slow, drawn look at his last days as a paranoid sociopath and the aftermath that rewarded his place in history as a folk hero.

It is just that he was so drastically different - odd in most people's estimation - that one, I believe, would need to have lived just a piece of his unique existence to understand his genius.

Middle-aged widower Walter Vale finds richness to his life by discovering that he matters, that others matter. Walter is a miserable man who admits, "I pretend at life. I pretend to work, but, in fact I haven't done any real work for some time."

Thank-you Ed Harris for bringing to the "silver screen," and my 40" Liquid Crystal Display, a subtle and beautifully filmed story of the old southwest that keeps the "Western" motif alive for future generations.

Admittedly, I knew nothing of the much loved series of graphic novels, "Watchmen." Whenever a film is done from a fictional depiction of humanity, or a science fictional depiction of a supposed humanity, many humans complain that the book was much better.

Some folks like their coffee blonde and sweet, but their comedy black. If you are one of that rare breed, you will probably get quite a few belly laughs from the directorial sophomore effort of Bobcat Goldthwaite: "World's Greatest Dad."

The film "Knowing" uses the science fiction genre to introduce either theme that are plausible, in these days as our civilization struggles to rediscover its collective soul.
