Brigitte Neilsen – Sober and Happy

While the news of Lindsay Lohan’s relapse is upsetting, there is another celebrity who is touting her sobriety – former Red Sonja actress turned reality star Brigitte Nielsen. Red Sonja wasn’t my kind of movie, but I did become a bit of a Brigitte fan when she married one of my favorite actors, Sylvester Stallone. That romance went down like in flames like an F-14, but The Great Dane kept busy with her career, appearing mainly soon forgotten films, made for tv movies, and recording music. But, once she decided to star in the Surreal Life, she found a second … Continue reading →

Movie Milestones – 25 Year Anniversaries – Continued

Okay, in a previous blog, I was talking about movies that turn 25 this year. Twenty-five years – it seems like only yesterday I was watching these favorites of mine at the theater! First Blood If you didn’t get enough Sylvester Stallone in Rocky III in 1982, you certainly must have gotten your fill with his then-new character, John Rambo, in First Blood. John was just a Vietnam vet who just wanted to be left alone, but the town police wouldn’t let that happen and he unleashed all his Green Beret experience upon them. If you enjoy a film with … Continue reading →

Movie Milestones – 25th Anniversaries

It is the twenty fifth anniversary of many famous films from 1982. I was but a youngster then (19) and going to the movies was one of my favorite activities (still is!). E.T., The Extra-Terrestrial It is hard to believe it has been twenty-five years since Drew Barrymore graced the big screen as the adorable Gertie. It was the highest grossing movie that year and won three of the nine Oscars for which it was nominated. E.T. also won two Golden Globes for Best Motion Picture and Best Original Score for a Motion Picture. Director Steven Spielberg says that E.T. … Continue reading →

The Return of the Heavyweights

I was at the mall the other day when I saw a girl with her shirt off one shoulder, a miniskirt and leggings. I looked at my husband and asked him if the 80s were back. Apparently, they are! I opened one of my trash mags today to see that not one, not two, but three big action heroes of the 80s were making a comeback. I had hears there was a Rocky 6 in the works. Actually, the film is titled “Rocky Balboa” and in it, Sylvester Stallone plays the beloved boxer once again. This time Rocky is older, … Continue reading →
