This Week in Entertainment
How amusing. Sharon Osbourne must have burned all pre-surgery pictures of herself. …

This Is It
Imagine making a feature film out of footage that was never meant to be shown publicly. That’s the monumental task that faced Kenny Ortega, MJ’s collaborator on the This Is It concerts that never were; 50 shows set to kick off in London, England in July, meant to be the final concerts for the almost 50 year old Jackson. …
The Time of My Life – Patrick Swayze and Lisa Niemi
Patrick Swayze was a very likeable screen presence, big screen or little. His acting ability is up for debate but he was certainly a commanding presence in some very good movies. …

Whip It
For her directorial debut, Drew Barrymore has chosen a movie that fits perfectly with her persona. It’s filled with girl power, finding your way and even more girl power! …
Motown: Music, Money, Sex and Power
A colleague at 1039FM loaned me this book by Gerald Posner. It’s a few years old now, a tremendously entertaining read and it busts open the doors to one of music’s most celebrated labels and hit-making houses. …

Walking With Dinosaurs – Review
You really can’t imagine what it’s like to experience dinosaurs walking around in a prehistoric setting, stretching their long necks over your head or roaring as they tear into their prey or protect their young. You really can’t imagine it unless you’ve seen Walking With Dinosaurs.  …

Jersey Boys
Jersey Boys is the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons and how they came to be huge pop stars in the 60’s and 70’s and even beyond. I read in the New York Post on the weekend that the real Frankie Valli was performing a sold out show to 10,o00 with Connie Francis. Not too shabby for an aging Joisey boiy. And what a show this is, the biography on stage.  There’s no filler – it’s all good stuff and it moves, entertains and delights all the way through. …
Rocking The Park
Rock The Park 6 is over. Every year, 1039 FM (previously known as The Hawk) presents some of the biggest acts in the classic rock-ish genre at Harris Park in London, in support of Bethany’s Hope Foundation. …
Review: The Hangover
When a movie is this well-reviewed and so popular there comes a time when you can no longer ignore it. That time came for us last Sunday evening. …

Review: Milk
A film such as this, about a little-known (on a wide scale) gay activist who truly helped change the world for the better, upsets me as much as I enjoy watching and learning about such inspirational people. …
Review: Sundays at Tiffany’s
I’m not so naive these days. Twice divorced, once bitten, and all of the rest. But I’m still a sucker for a good romantic story. …

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Brad Pitt is an uneven actor at best. For every A River Runs Through It there’s a Meet Joe Black, three hours of my life I desperately wanted back when the credits rolled. …
