Mission Impossible – The Search for Siri
I want to be clear about this – I am angry – I mean really Really REALLY ANGRY – at Tom Cruise. He and I are the same age. I wake up every morning kvetching about my various aches and pains. I walk like an old man. I actually thought I was doing pretty good…

A Hallmark Hanukkah
You have to give it to the Hallmark people. They figured it out – Christmas is but one day a year, which leaves the other 364 for Christmas movies. But upon consultation with their lawyers, they were advised to do one movie per year that was not about Christmas. Enter the annual Hanukkah movie. It…

Poor Taylor Swift
At the store the other day I saw the “ultimate guide” to Taylor Swift that proclaimed she was: Fierce! Fearless! Fantastic! I kinda feel sorry for her. Apparently she is Totally F’d.

Long Live Rock En Español
I’m standing in front of the stage at the Whiskey A Go Go wearing a t-shirt that I bought at Carnegie Hall in 1988. It doesn’t quite fit after 30 years and 30 pounds, but that’s ok. You might be asking – what in heck do the Whiskey and Carnegie have in common?It is Los…

Child’s Play
The Nutcracker is a child’s play. I was in it for 10 years. How’d that happen? If you had asked me 40 years ago in my twenties that I’d be part of a ballet, much less in one, I’d have thought you were Nuts, that you were Off Your Cracker that…. You’re right. A warning…

The Most Thankless Job In Hollywood
So, we saw the new Tom Cruise movie “Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning” today. Gotta admit, it was fantastic. What got me was the credits. There is a staff headed up by a “Safety and Health Advisor”. I imagine it goes this way: Mr. Advisor: “Mr. Cruise, as your Safety and Health Advisor, I must tell…

Jurassic LarryLand
It occurs to me that in the Jurassic Park Movies, you have all of these huge dinosaurs running around with no collars and therefore no idea when they’re trying to imitate a cow. More Cowbells, I say. So, my idea is this: We hire Christopher Walken to attach those little Christmas Jingle Bell collars around…

Take That, Swifties!
My wife and I wanted to go to a local festival concert called the Ohana Festival. Actually, it was my Swiftie daughter who showed us the lineup, so “Foo Fighters on Me”. But after all the mayhem of the recent Swiftie dustup I had concerns. (Ticketmaster execs are in hiding in non-extradition countries; they are…
