Comment:
I think that "Rear Window" is definitely one of the better films directed by Alfred Hitchcock. I found that this picture certainly kept me quite interested in the story right up to the suspense-filled climax.

Yep. Raquel sure was a beauty in her youth. But, as expected, this book was nothing but pure fluff.

Informatively written by Dutch urologist, Mels van Driel - "Manhood" takes the mystery out of the history of the all-mighty penis. With plenty of insight and, yes, even a bit of humor (thrown in for good measure) - "Manhood" takes an unprecedented look (for your educational advantage) at the penis and the testicles.
From medical, psychological, cultural, and anecdotal perspectives - Driel certainly offers the ever-inquisitive, penis-fascinated reader answers to everything that they've ever wanted to know about the male genitals.
So - Hey! Don't be shy! This enjoyably edifying book also includes a number of illustrations, as well.Informatively written by Dutch urologist, Mels van Driel - "Manhood" takes the mystery out of the history of the all-mighty penis.

This 1946 film is rated as being a masterpiece and I guess I can sort of understand why if we limit ourselves to the arty-farty sequences that are interspersed throughout the film. However, what about the story, folks? This one is definitely style over substance.

The Adventures of Ma & Pa KettleThe Adventures of Ma & Pa Kettle, DVDVolume 1
DVD - 2004DVD, 2004
Added Oct 15, 2019
Comment:
This "Ma & Pa Kettle - Volume 1" DVD contains four engaging comedies (involving the Kettle Clan) spanning from the years 1947-1951.
The Kettles are a hillbilly family of seventeen members (Ma, Pa, and their 15 kids). When Pa unexpectedly wins a slogan-writing contest they all move into a model-home-of-the future (which is the grand prize). And, from this point, onward, their lives are, literally, turned upside-down, inside-out, and, yes, topsy-turvy, too.
For the most part - These vintage pictures from Universal Studios (which all have running times of about 78 minutes) are actually quite an enjoyable view due (of course) to the comical performances of both Marjorie Main and Percy Kilbride as the 2 lead characters.This "Ma & Pa Kettle - Volume 1" DVD contains four engaging comedies (involving the Kettle Clan) spanning from the years 1947-1951.

Northern StarsNorthern Stars, Music CDA Canadian Singers & Songwriters Collection
Music CD - 2007Music CD, 2007
Added Oct 15, 2019
Comment:
This "Northern Stars" CD of 18 tracks (spanning the years from 1967-2004) is a collection of music from various notable Canadian singers and songwriters, such as - Tom Cochrane, Leonard Cohen, Bryan Adams, and Jane Siberry (to name but a few).
Now, don't get me wrong here - I'm not complaining about the tracks or about the artists whose songs were chosen to be presented on this disc - But, I am somewhat puzzled that such performers, as - Gordon Lightfoot, the Guess Who, Rush, and Celine Dion were not represented here at all.
(I would guess that this compilation was probably put together by Americans)

Comment:
Originally released back in 1965 - "Thunderball" would be the 4th film in the "James Bond" series that starred actor Sean Connery as the fictional M16 agent - 007.
In this tale of "Bond Vs. Evil Villain" - Agent 007 is sent to the Bahamas where he encounters SPECTRE bad guy #2, Emilio Largo. And, in-between ogling at all of the bikini-clad beach bunnies - These 2 rivals meet up for a "Wham! Bam!" showdown that's presented in your typical James Bond style.
Anyway - If you are willing to suspend disbelief for 130 minutes, then, you are certain to enjoy "Thunderball" which does come across as being quite dated and decidedly creaky at times.Originally released back in 1965 - "Thunderball" would be the 4th film in the "James Bond" series that starred actor Sean Connery as the fictional M16 agent - 007.

"This Is It" is a documentary showing the last footage ever taken of pop icon, Michael Jackson before his tragic death in 2009 at the age of 51.
