A personal website of movie reviews and observations by a movie fan. Primarily a movie site, there will be other entertainment related segments particularly with respect to television and cable/satellite broadcasts. Occasionally, other areas may involve sports, news, and just about anything that strikes my fancy. I hope you find this site useful for information and in helping to determine if a film is worth your while. I appreciate your interest and feedback.

The Man from UNCLE
Robert Vaughn passed away recently, and his was a rich career for over a half century ranging from movie classics like The Magnificent Seven to Bullitt to The Towering Inferno and TV shows like The Lieutenant and The Man from UNCLE, the latter which will be fondly remembered as a super cool spy show that was TV's answer to the spy craze of James Bond. Even Ian Fleming had a character in Goldfinger named Napoleon Solo which he contributed for Vaughn's TV spy name. Growing up watching this show with my dad is a strong memory, and now we have reruns and dvd's to remind us of a talented actor (Oscar nominated and Emmy winner) whose work will live on.
