Ragtime and Stagecoach

A classic, beloved Western from 1939 - the watershed greatest year of cinema almost didn’t happen. At the time, everyone thought the Western was dead, except John Ford – he was right, they were wrong.  The other film featured one of the greatest acting legends of Hollywood in his last and rivetting film role in 1981 as a tyrannical turn of the century police commissioner  – this actor starred in his first hit...

In this special holiday encore, we revisit two classic children's movies of the late twentieth century:

Toy Story (1995) and E. T. (1982)

Kid movies are sometimes just for kids, sometimes, they are brilliant tales that win over children and adults alike.   In the 80’s and 90’s two stand out “kids” movies took the world by storm – and are still winning hearts in 2019 – E.T. in 1982 and Toy Story from 1995… Let’s go to the movies

In this special holiday encore, we revisit the our trip to the wonderful land of Oz.

Wizard of Oz (1939)

It took 3 directors and an army of screenwriters (18) to get Dorothy to Oz and they made one of the most iconic and beloved movies ever put on film – I’ll even tell you how many pairs of ruby slippers still exist…

And you know who might know about those ruby slippers is my Ozophile wingman, actor and all around amazing person – ...

In this special holiday encore, we revisit the very first full episode of Cinema Sounds & Secrets!

Westside Story (1962) and Superman (1972) Our first film was a ground breaking musical based on a smash Broadway show, and the other a movie from a very different planet – so what do they have in common?  Both films are the best of their genre – the film musical and comic book superhero and both films brim with star power.

Risky Business (1983) and 48 Hrs. (1982)

Visiting the 80’s today, we’ll travel from the burbs of Chicago to the grimy underbelly of Los Angeles.  Both films have great casts, great soundtracks and inventive, ground breaking scripts that launched the careers of two super super mega moviestars who are still kicking cinema butt today – both actors were true overnight sensations, kind of like my producer extraordinaire and wingman, act...
