REPRINTED FROM APRIL 15, 2012 April 15th. Quite an important date in American history. Yes yes yes, I know, it’s tax day. But that’s not it. As I write this, on April 15th, 2012, it is 100 years to the day since the Titanic sank in the North Atlantic. One hundred years ago exactly. Pretty […]

Lincoln’s birthday passed last Friday. Our Dr. of Ancient Filmology did not let it pass, however, without having us remember the movie Prince of Players, which refers to none other than Edwin Booth, the most famous actor of his day and also the brother of Lincoln assasin John Wilkes Booth.
Who is the number one star working in movies today? Not the best actor; the biggest star. Tough one, isn’t it? It seems to change from year to year. Heck, it seems to change from movie to movie. Box-office drawing power is literally as fickle as we are. So now I ask all […]
