George C. Scott is one of my favorite actors. He is different, and utterly believable, in every role he plays. No, that’s not right: he does not play, he actually lives them. Scrooge, Patton, Fagin in “Oliver Twist,” Rochester in “Jane Eyre,” a scientist, a composer, a con man… …

Even though Reese Witherspoon has been acting since she was a kid, I didn’t really know who she was until I saw the movie “Fear”. From there, I grew accustomed to watching movies which starred or co-starred Reese Witherspoon.

I can understand why Tampa Bay did what they did. …

I see the Miami Dolphins have hired Mike Nolan as their defensive coordinator. It didn’t take them long after he parted ways with the Denver Broncos after just one season.
