I sadly watched an American icon crumble this past week in the news. In the clip below you will see a classic GM commercial with all the trimming, bells and whistles.  I feel we should have a modern commercial about today’s GM. Only this commercial would have ominous music, more like ghostly chants, a black hearse, and a tomb stone. General Motors is now Government Motors…. There was a time in America when Americans proudly...

Today’s political atmosphere is one of political correctness. It is just this political correctness that will be our demise. This classic Red Skelton Show clip is one that every American, and especially those in Congress, should view. I remember being in grade school and each morning we pledged to old glory. And I remember feeling warm and fuzzy inside when I did. A young, mushy brain understood the pride behind our flag. In my home...

Although my blog is mainly on classic films, what it should be is a blog on classic “anything.” So on that note let me just say how sadden I am to hear that one of America’s first radio personalities has passed. Paul Harvey died on Saturday February 28th, at the age of 90.  Paul Harvey was the guy who had a few minutes between talk radio personalities, with news and comments on the bizarre and ended with a punch line that...

But when Archie talked about politics, he made a lot of sense. The left openly engages in what is wrong with the right, but when the right engages in what is wrong with...

The funny Honeymooners clip below came to mind when I heard the day’s headliners. Honestly, I can’t believe all the BS I am hearing from so called intelligent and professional people, and their stupid “mistakes” on income tax returns. In this clip, you have two slobs (affectionately) worrying about a letter Ralph gets from the IRS. He goes into panic mode and hopes he didn’t forget to report the following (too funny, the little...

Have you ever had a life altering experience which created a crisis of faith? I have, and these experiences are what might draw you closer to God, or completely tear you away. This is the theme of Ingmar Bergman’s Oscar winning drama, “Virgin Spring,” (1959). The tragic, but touching story is based on a 13th century Swedish Ballad. It’s a story of revenge and redemption during the medieval times, a time when the world was torn...
