‘Frasier’ has never left the room
If you had to spend the rest of your life locked down in a safe house, and you only had one complete series you could watch, with no masks in sight, no war, no impending doom, what would it be? “Friends?” “Seinfeld?” Those are top rate comedies. Both of those series are now bronzed in […]
Dave Mallett to take stage at Madison’s Somerset Abbey
I’ve had the pleasure and honor of chatting with Maine’s own Dave Mallett over the years and the singer-songwriter-guitarist never fails at giving great interviews that are as honest and down-home as his music. So when I learned that he was coming to Somerset Abbey on the 26th of this month, I reached out to […]

‘The Defiant Ones’ worth seeing, if only to honor the great Poitier, Kramer
Stanley Kramer gave us “High Noon” 1952 and “Judgement at Nuremberg” 1961 and that alone is enough to cast Kramer in gold. His “The Defiant Ones” in 1958 wasn’t in the same league with those brilliant pieces. Tony Curtis got to play chain-gang baddie Johnny Jackson, a snarling racist small-time criminal, in a time when […]
