Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway Pull a "Steve Harvey"
Anyone watching the Oscars last night had to feel deeply sorry for actors Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. In what is sure to become one of the biggest Oscar fiascos in history, the wrong Best Picture winner was announced at the 89th Academy Awards ceremony on February 26. The legendary Beatty and Dunaway somehow acquired the "Actress in a Leading Role" envelope which Best Actress Emma Stone (La La Land) says she'd been hanging onto throughout their presentation.

There are more than the few and the proud as the genre is born with a KA-POW! Adam West's Batman's warm smile and the soaring theme of Christopher Reeve's Superman followed by a barrage of sequels were part of the birth of The Golden Age of Superhero Movies from 1938 to 1988.

As one may imagine, a state as wild and riddled with outlaws as Texas has given birth to more than a few twisted tales of the strange. Miles and miles of sparsely populated plains covered in the gnarled corpses of thorn covered mesquite, prickly pear cactus and dry gray tumbleweed has lent itself well to the cultivation of myths and legends born of superstition and moonshine. No matter how we attempt to civilize the massive state, its restless spirits simply will not be tamed and the rough, iron-willed people who inhabit its small towns have become the story-keepers, passing down the terrifying myths from one generation to the next. Some stories are simply wives tales, old yarns spun to keep the children close to home and the men from getting too rowdy on a Saturday night before Sunday mass arrives. But others hold far more credibility, with eyewitness accounts and chilling documentation that would make a believer out of the most stalwart skeptics.
Gabrielle FaustPublished 7 years ago in GeeksWhy the M*A*S*H Series Finale is Still The Greatest Of All Time
There's nothing more hotly contested than a series finale. After investing years into a show, people are hoping to get the ultimate payoff. Some series finales fall short (check out my article on that here) and some rise up and actually elevate the series. While shows like Six Feet Under, The Shield and Breaking Bad have had incredible finales, nothing holds a candle to how M*A*S*H ended. When the 2 and a half hour series finale aired, it was the most watched episode in television history. There are many reasons it is the greatest series finale in history. “Goodbye, Farewell and Amen” encompassed what everyone loved about M*A*S*H. It had some very funny moments but also had one of the saddest moments in the show's history.
Jason SchwartzPublished 7 years ago in GeeksNone So Haunted as The Orphanage
As of late, after having watched several documentaries about haunted orphanages and “children of the grave”, I have found myself intensely interested in this particular variety of hauntings. Always fascinated with paranormal subject matter and a firm believer in the existence of the supernatural, stories focused around apparitions hold a special allure for me. It is not so much the mere chilling concept of spirits lingering between worlds, unable to rest, but the fact that the stories behind why they remain behind instead of crossing over are often far more disturbing the existence of the ghosts themselves.

I have to admit, first of all, that I am a complete zealot for anything Scottish, especially when it comes to film. Over the years, the Scottish have continually produced noteworthy movies that instantly become classics. The producers, directors and actors alike all seem to have the same intuitive insight as to what makes for a tremendous film. The scripts are almost always superbly written, riddled with clever dialog; the scenes are always staged and cut with a keen eye for action and detail, allowing for the story to unfold naturally with momentum. I may be a bit biased due to my obsession with Scottish history and culture, but I have yet to find myself disappointed with any movie I have seen, thus far. The 2002 werewolf film DOG SOLDIERS, by the producers of HELLRAISER and director Neil Marshal, is no exception, keeping me on the edge of my seat till the rolling credits!
