NCIS — deserving a Hart-felt salute??

Posted on Sat, 26 Nov 2011 by

The team that produces the hit TV series NCIS has outdone themselves. Is it possible that they have touched on a real-world case, and dropped a subtly brilliant clue?

Mark Harmon’s new movie — ‘Certain Prey’

Posted on Sun, 13 Nov 2011 by

Perhaps this is a column that I should not have written. (But, telling the truth — and flying in the face of ‘societal wisdom’ as a result — seems to be my lot in life.)

The new TV-movie, “Certain Prey”, might have been a good story under other circumstances. But, the very thing that made it seem like a sure-fire success — having superstar Mark Harmon as both executive producer and lead actor — could be the thing that makes it flop. I hope that Harmon reads this, and takes my advice. Continue reading →

Falling Skies — a study in resistance … and more

Posted on Mon, 18 Jul 2011 by

In 1995, the movie “Braveheart” became one of the highest-rated movies in history. Part of its popularity came from the idea of popular resistance to political tyranny, and the parallels between the Scottish Rebellion and the modern American resistance to the Clinton regime. Now, the new TV series “Falling Skies” — produced by Clinton supporter Steven Spielberg — brings the resistance theme into the modern age. Hold that thought. More later about the show’s real-world implications. Continue reading →
