Some time ago, the Houston Texans made a bit move by stealing away Atlanta Falcons backup Matt Schaub to be their starting quarterback. At the time, I said it was a mistake.
A couple seasons later, I honestly haven’t seen any proof I was wrong with that opinion.
My problem with …

Anthony Hopkins appears to be one of those actors who do not take just any role, he will not play anything shallow, uninteresting, insignificant. Or perhaps it is his talent that turns every role into a meaningful one? Anyway, I have never seen him under-perform, or play anything not …

I have always loved John Wayne. I don’t love all of his movies, but I love his passion and the conviction with which he lived his life. He wasn’t a perfect man, but he was definitely tall in the saddle. He was also a very patriotic …

One of the older actors that I respect the most right now is Christopher Lee, and I guess that while part of it has to do with the fact that I’m not very familiar with most older actors, most of it is actually because I have seen him in …

Russell Crowe is an Australian actor who has made a successful career for himself in Hollywood. I have not seen all of his films; however, the ones I have seen thus far I’ve really liked.
The first movie I saw Russell Crowe in was “L.A. Confidential”. The movie had been …

I had heard rumors all week that the Packers were thinking about trading up in the draft in an effort to land offensive tackle Bryan Bulaga. So, I was surprised and glad they were able to draft him without moving out of the 23rd spot in the first round.
Right …

As a proud Arsenal Football Club supporter, I pride myself in one of our star players, Cesc Fabregas who is walking quality at the very tender age of just 23 years.

OK, sure, he …

I can only imagine what this man was like when he was younger, but Simon Cowell just seems to have a licence to print money. It doesn’t matter what he does, the nation, even America seem enthralled by it and once again it makes him millions.
When he first burst …

I think that Tim Curry is one of those very underrated actors whose talent most people witness, but it isn’t really seen or recognised. This is because a few other actors who are less deserving of the attention for whatever reason seem to overshadow him. There is a chance …

Growing up, I loved the entertainment world. I’ve had a lot of favorites over the years, but I’m very loyal to a core group of celebrities that I liked as far back as elementary school. By 1993, I wasn’t interested in liking or caring about another performer, …

Sadly he didn’t …

Of course, …

Its not often that I critise a Manchester United signing, but when Dimitar Berbatov arrived at the club, I just didn’t believe he was good enough to play for the club. He was not a bad player, he has a first touch that you can only dream about having, …

While the acting of Patricia Arquette won’t start any fires, she plays …

When Manchester United signed Andy Cole, he was the Newcastle United goal machine that simply could not stop scoring. Nobody had seen anything like his ability to score so many goals in one season for his club.
I remember how excited I was when it had been announced that he …

I have listened to Janet Jackson’s music since I was a kid and watched her in the media. She was kind of hard to miss and always in the media for some reason or another.
I like her. It’s weird because to be honest I don’t actually know …

You know, as much as teams are struggling to find capable quarterbacks to fill even back up roles, I’m a bit surprised Daunte Culpepper has to practically beg teams for another shot.

Jim Carrey used to be listed in my book under the “Annoying” category. “He can’t act,” I thought, “so he over-acts.” His performance in Ace Ventura was, to me, barely watchable. However, two movies have changed my opinion about this actor and made me take him seriously. The movies …
