“The measure of a man is what's left when fame falls away.”
Nobody can project the path of a bunch of teenagers swinging guitars. When Paul “Bono” Hewson launches a band with friends Larry Mullen Jr. and Dave Evans, some of his friends audition. But classmate Neil McCormick wants his own band; the latter's younger brother Ivan makes rhythm guitar in his schoolmates' band and Neil pulls back harder. The older McCormick acts in pride-shocked disbelief as Bonos' music group shuttles into worldwide success

Looking over my sports dvd library, one might notice a lot of contact type titles. From Wrestling to MMA to high intensity action films, I have my fill of male testosterone fueled viewing. The question remained what would I think of some bare knuckled fist fighting in the documentary that took over ten years to make: Knuckle. Would it be simply too barbaric or would I crave more?

“I started doing comedy in the comedy clubs in 1977. I couldn't wait till I got my face on that doggone wall. I couldn't wait till they called my name and I walked through a smoke-filled room, the little small tables and pulled that mike out that hole.”
Thirty years after Bernard McCullough entered the comedy circuit by way of his hometown Chicago, I saw him on The Bernie Mac Show and laughed at his take-no-crap approach to fatherhood. You had to smile at those big truth-telling eyes always trying to convince TV land that he would knock his TV kids upside the head if they pushed him too far.

"The darker picture is always the correct one. When you read the history of the world you are reading a saga of bloodshed and greed and folly the import of which is impossible to ignore. And yet we imagine that the future will somehow be different."
One thing that is absolutely different is HBO's The Sunset Limited. I can assure you that this film is unlike any movie you've ever seen before, or are likely to see again. There are a lot of reasons for this, of course.

There were a ton of changes in the 5th season. There would be a rather large cast shake-up. Lee Cobb and Roberta Shore were now completely gone. It was only a matter of time for Cobb, who was never really happy doing the show but never let it get in the way of his performance or attitude toward the rest of the cast and crew. Enter Charles Bickford in his only season as the Granger family head, John. He brings his grandchildren Elizabeth, played by Sara Lane, and Stacy, played by Don Quine.

I completely understand if you bailed out on Weeds a long time ago. The fact is the current show bears little resemblance to the subversive, suburban sitcom that became one of Showtime's first comedy smashes. That's partly because the tone of the show took a dark turn into Mexican cartels and human trafficking after the end of season 3. Even worse, the once-fresh characters had become, at

Make no bones about it, Storage Wars is one of my favorite television shows of all time. Most people would refer to it as a modern day treasure hunt, but when it comes down to it, the cast of characters is what keeps me watching. Of course, the "what is behind Storage Locker #1?" is going to lure me to the dance though. Needless to say I was pretty excited to see a second volume of Storage Wars hit my door. Let us see what the boys (and girl) find this time around.

The yesteryears of Disney were full of classic movies from Aladdin to 101 Dalmations. Each of those films holds a special place in my heart due to its warmth and very colorful, cute story. Having never seen Lady and the Tramp before picking up this early copy, I didn’t know what to expect of the film. Many declare it to be one of Disney’s best, which is certainly a remark that is quite distinguished. Would Lady and the Tramp capture my emotions and heart like so many old, classic Disney films did years ago? Read on to find out.
