Sometimes it seems like the same movie is made over and over again. I had the pleasure to see The End Of Oak Street in the movie theater, and I was glad I did. The movie is so much different than anything I have seen before. It is definitely no Jurassic Park! The End of Oak Street is a 2026 American science fiction survival film written, co-produced, and directed by David Robert Mitchell. It stars…
W.C. Fields walked off the set of "My Little Chickadee" (1940) over what director Edward F. Cline felt was a minor disagreement, but when it was clear after two weeks that he was not coming back to finish the film, nearly one-third was shot using a double. The double used is unknown. It could have been John Sinclair, who had doubled for him in "Poppy" (1936), or David Sharpe, who was his stunt…
Some movies entertain you for two hours and then disappear from your thoughts. Others linger long after the credits roll. Netflix's The Last House is one of those films. At first glance, it looks like a science fiction thriller about a family trapped inside their own home. But underneath the mystery and suspense is a story about fear, resilience, and what happens when a family is forced to face…
A native of Dallas, Texas, Tommy Bond was best known for his work as a child actor for two different nonconsecutive periods on Our Gang (Little Rascals) comedies (first as "Tommy" and later as "Butch").

Gary Crosby was born on June 27, 1933, in Los Angeles, the first son of Bing Crosby and Dixie Lee. From the very beginning, music was woven into his life. While other kids grew up with bedtime stories, Gary grew up with jam sessions—his father’s voice drifting through the house, rehearsals echoing from the living room, and visits from stars who defined an era. By the time Gary was a teenager, it…
Okay, I am a huge Will Ferrell fan. I have watched most of his movies, and I have liked the majority of them. However like other comedians like Adam Sandler and Jim Carrey, his schtick starts to get old. I recently watched his 10 episode comedy on Netflix called The Hawk. It is ok - just ok. The Hawk was created by Will Ferrell, Harper Steele, and Chris Henchy, and starring Ferrell and Molly…
Pat Hingle made his "acting debut" in the third grade, playing a carrot in a school play ("At that time it didn't seem like much of a way to make a living!" he recalled). Hingle attended high school in Texas and entered the University of Texas, majoring in advertising. "After one [college] semester I went into the Navy for four years in the Pacific on a destroyer. I went back to school and every…
In preparation for his role in "One Hour Photo" (2002), Robin Williams trained for two and a half days at a photo developing training facility in Southern California on an Agfa MSC 101-D photo developing machine. Williams was originally cast as the SavMart manager, Bill Owens (eventually played by Gary Cole), but after reading the screenplay for a second time, Williams requested the role of…
Don Murray later remembered the difficulties of filming with Marilyn Monroe during "Bus Stop" (1956), who was essentially his boss on the movie. Paula Strasberg had replaced Natasha Lytess as Monroe's on-the-spot acting coach, and Murray recalled that, while Strasberg was "polite," she constantly "huddled" with Marilyn and paid no attention to anyone else. Murray said that, because of Monroe's…
