Sequels and Prequels, Remakes and Reboots

Submitted by Donna S. on Fri, 07/08/2011 - 1:36pm

This is a blog I should’ve done weeks ago.  But it’s a topic I’d not really thought about until the news of the premiere in London of the latest (last!) Harry Potter film.

Summertime!!!

Summer came this week!

I know what you’re thinking: It’s felt like summer for over a month now!  And you’re right.  The temperatures have certainly felt like July and August, rather than May and June.  Still, the calendar didn’t point to summer until June 21.

On the Air...

In 1979, there was a hit record titled Video Killed the Radio Star.  That idea is kind of funny to me now.  Radio may not be the big influence it once was, it doesn’t seem to be disappearing.  Yes, in the first half of the 20th century, radio had a much bigger role of our lives.  The radio provided the kind of programming we have on TV today.  There were sitcoms, police dramas, adventure series, soap operas, variety shows, news, and even gossip shows.  And in between all those were segments devoted to the hit songs of the day.

Memorial Day

Since I did a blog about Memorial Day last year, I wasn’t sure about doing one this year without repeating myself. In fact, I already had another blog subject ready to go. That will wait. Because I just felt I needed to focus on this coming Monday and what it means.

In November, in celebrate Veterans Day. We acknowledge all that we owe to the men and women who have served in the Armed Forces. But in May, we observe Memorial Day. We strive to remember those who gave their all for their country.

Mothers and Sons

Submitted by Donna S. on Fri, 05/13/2011 - 3:02pm

Many months ago, I wrote a blog entry about Fathers and Daughters.  It’s high time that I looked at the subject of Mothers and Sons and how they are represented in the movies and on television.

The relationship between mothers and sons has been examined over and over again.  It’s been categorized and analyzed and is considered a mystery that can never be solved.  Which is just downright silly, if you ask me.  Because each relationship is as unique as the people in it.
