It’s incredible how much talent has emerged from TV’s long-running series “The Office.” Mindy Kaling is now a successful producer and screenwriter, as well as a best-selling author; John Krasinski has proven a legitimate tough-guy in front of the camera (“Jack Ryan,” “13 Hours”) and a skilled director behind it (both “Quiet Place” films); and
With the passing of Olivia Newton-John — the ultimate Sandy — I wanted to pay homage to her most popular film, “Grease” and dissect Greaser Style, which has been represented in many films beyond the beloved musical. The first instance of a “greaser” in film is Marlon Brando’s character, Johnny Strabler, in “The Wild One.”
I’m leaving. Wow, those are loaded words and what comes after them pretty much determines how the rest of your day will go. I’m leaving for work is good. I’m leaving this here is fine. I’m leaving you a surprise, very good. But in the 1890s, if for South Dakota was in that sentence, as
It was a Monday and felt like a fall day. The clouds were that gray color that hovered overhead, and the temps were cooler. Waking up to fifty-degree temps was just marvelous. I had a long day ahead of me working, then going to Sam’s Club, but I knew what was on the menu for
No. It’s simple, really: just one syllable, dragged out or said sharply, emphatically, and finally. No. You’ve heard it all your life, yelled it a time or two. “No” is easy to say, especially when, as in the new book “My Moment,” stories collected by Kristin Chenoweth, Kathy Najimy, Linda Perry, Chely Wright and Lauren
What a summer we are having friends. They say April is the cruelest month, but I’d vote for August with this heat and humidity. Even when the temps aren’t so high, the weight of moisture in the air may drive those of us with longer locks to the hairdresser for a chop. But if you
It’s 6:30 on a Sunday night. Dad’s on the couch watching “Pennsylvania Outdoor Life.” I knew the sound of Don Jacobs’ voice as I listened from the kitchen. Mom would be working on prepping our Sunday dinner for our seven o’clock show of “America’s Funniest Home Videos.” AFV started to air in late 1989, so
I would have enjoyed “Bullet Train” a whole lot more if it weren’t so outrageously violent. It’s like someone took a decent script and handed it to Tarantino—except that director David Leitch seems to want to out-Quentin Quentin. Which is too bad, because the plotting is unusually strong for what seemed like a standard actioner
The Lock Haven Jams Music Festival is back. The Clinton County Arts Council is sponsoring the three-day event that will begin Friday, August 11th, at the Roxy Theater in Lock Haven with ‘Rockin’ the Roxy.’ Tickets are required for this part of the festival and can be purchased, at a discount, in advance, online at
I’ll always savor long summer days, but as back to school draws near and autumn is faintly visible on the horizon, I’m ready for a mood shift to the cooler days of a crisp fall. With any change in the season, I’m looking ahead to some of this year’s must-have trends. Sure, not all trends
