“Justified” caught my eye because it stars one of my favorite sheriffs. Timothy Olyphant, formerly Sheriff Seth Bullock on the HBO series “Deadwood” is back as a modern day gunslinger in this new drama on FX.
Olyphant stars as US Marshall Raylan Givens, a man reminiscent of Olyphant’s former character, Seth Bullock. Givens is a tough [...]
A while ago, a fellow writer friend mentioned she enjoys watching the Golden Globes because everyone gets drunk. Last night definitely lived up to the billing. Even the greats including Meryl Streep and Harrison Ford seemed as though they’d indulged in more than a few cocktails during the event, and there was lots of giggling during post-show [...]
The People’s Choice Awards were last night and apparently the people like vampires. Despite their blood-sucking ways, the creatures of the night won big, and they’d better relish it, because this is the only awards show where “Twilight” will walk away with Best Movie. This is slightly confusing, because technically, “Twilight” came out in 2008, [...]

We rented this HBO miniseries at the recommendation of an Army reservist who I interviewed for the newspaper last month. The reservist had just returned from his second yearlong tour in Iraq, and he told me “Generation Kill” was a favorite of many of the men he served with while stationed at Ballad Air Force [...]
I’m a little sad to see summer on the way out, but there are two great things about fall. Well, three actually.
1. Football
2. Movies
3. Survivor (yes, I still watch it)

I enjoy supporting locally owned establishments and often persuade my readers to do the same. There is one particular part of my life where I fall short in this goal and that is during football season.
Most locally owned joints can’t afford the Sunday Ticket and like all fantasy football players, my husband and I do not go [...]

As my girlfriends will tell you, I need no excuse to organize a girls’ night out, but “Julie & Julia,” coming to theaters this Friday, is the perfect excuse!
For a brief, yet wonderful, moment in time, I belonged to a recipe club. At our first “club” meeting, we spent three delightful hours talking about all things food-related: our favorite [...]

As I mentioned in my previous post, I have been a fan of “Star Trek: the Next Generation” since childhood. The new movie, “Star Trek,” due out Friday, is bringing out my inner-geek.
My all-time favorite character from the Star Trek franchise is Data, played brilliantly by Brent Spiner. When I was a child, Data intrigued [...]
