Writer/director/actor Buck Henry died suddenly at 89. His long career included highlights on tv and film for over half a century. He co-created the spy comedy Get Smart with Mel Brooks, co-wrote the screenplay of The Graduate, and co-directed Heaven Can Wait. His multiple hostings of the original Saturday Night Live were legendary and outrageous. He more recently appeared as Tina Fey's dad n her 30 Rock show. What a talented guy.
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.
