The Guillermo Del Toro (R)evolution
Thirteen Academy Award nominations. That’s how many nominations the film The Shape Of Water has received. Three of those nominations are best original screenplay, best director and best picture of the year. These three nominations have the name Guillermo Del Toro attached to them. As good as the film is, what stands out even more to me is the fact that in the age of #OscarsSoWhite, in the age of the Trump regime, and in the overall state of open and institutionalized racism towards anyone who isn’t white, there has been one constant that has persevered; the success of Mexican filmmakers, particularly at the Academy Awards.

Be the Person Mr. Rogers Believed You Could Be
Mr. Rogers was a staple of my childhood, along with the likes of Bob Ross and Sesame Street. He was always calm, comforting, and loving of everyone who watched his show. We were all his neighbors. I still watch his show whenever I catch it. He taught us to love ourselves, as well as each other.

Larry Manetti Has No Reason to Say Aloha to Magnum After All These Years
Larry Manetti studied acting with the Ted List Players and landed his first role on Emergency in 1972. Sitting in the NBC commissary one day – basically trying to meet girls – Jack Webb entered in a rage. He had just fired the entire cast of a show called Chase. “You’re an actor right?” he grabbed Manetti, and a contract was his the next day. While lasting only six weeks, it left Manetti under contract at Universal Studios. There, Robert Conrad took a liking to him. Soon enough, he was on Baa Baa Black Sheep, and that paved the way for his signature role as “Rick” on Magnum PI. But the biggest name that can be dropped in association with Larry Manetti came when he was only seven and officially put a spark to his acting bug.

The Hate on Logan Paul Needs to End!
There is so much hate going around the internet. So. Much. Hate. And it's really only revolving one person. Logan Paul. It all started when he went to Japan for New Years. First, he disrespected a whole country. Then he filmed a suicide victim... And now the recent drama about how he "hasn't changed." People are only saying he hasn't changed because they WANT to hate on him! I get it, he is very easy to hate!

Love Letter to Jack Nicholson
The year is 1997 and the number one song is Celine Dion and I have a secret from my friends. Whilst they are swooning over Leo and his very 90s curtain haircut in Titanic, I am harbouring a crush on very different Hollywood star. Jack Nicholson. Although DiCaprio is often compared to Nicholson (by heretics), there is only one, and that one, for me, is the original Jack.

How Donald Glover Took Over the World. Top Story - February 2018.
To the untrained eye, Donald Glover's recent success seems to have come out of nowhere. However, when you take a second to look into his history, Donald's success is not only well-deserved, but it had to happen.

Brian Carney Puts His Dad’s Oscar and Honeymooner's Emmy on Display at Bobo’s Cafe
In the three years that Bobo’s has been open, a coffee in transit is always an option. On the other hand, the locale continues to standout as a sit down destination for Heritage Hills seniors, Somers students, and everything in between. Bobo’s doesn’t just keep it contained to good food, coffee and friends, though. Seniors know from Saturday oldies night in the summer. But on Sunday afternoon, Bobo’s gave their elders something to bring them back and probably will long rerun in their minds like a real life Honeymooner’s marathon.
