At the height of the travel season — and in honor of the state-traversing U.S. Route 6, Pennsylvania’s coolest two-lane — Webb presents a half-dozen road movies. We’ll stick to “under-the-radar” films in this category — trusting that most readers already know about such classics as “Rain Man,” “Planes, Trains and Automobiles,” the Oscar-magnet “It
Did you envy Diane Keaton’s outfits in “Something’s Gotta Give” or Merely Streep’s in “It’s Complicated?” Are you a fan of Nancy Meyers movies with their perennial summertime lifestyle full of beautiful older women in linen tunics and arranging fresh flowers? Do you enjoy nine solid hours of sleep in a room with a humidifier,
As my son Tyler officially turns into a teenager this month on July 28, I can’t help but look at him and know I really have to start cherishing every moment with this kid. He is almost taller than me, and his feet are as big as his dad’s. It was just yesterday he was
It had been weeks since we had been to my momma and stepdad’s for dinner. We were used to all being together on Thursdays at the farm, but life gets in the way. My brother and his family were going away on vacation, but my momma asked if we would like to come over for
In the summer, dresses (for those of you that regularly wear them) are an essential outfit staple. There are so many options when it comes to warm-weather frocks, from little white dresses to shirtdresses, to caftans. The easier the on-off, the better for when you want to look cute but not as if you’re trying

Gene Hackman is midway up a towering metal Christmas tree with his hands pressed firmly on Shelley Winters’ derriere. Desperate times call for desperate measures. And those desperate measures include Winter’s ample fanny. So begins a harrowing race to the bottom that is now the top — What a disaster! —And movie fans couldn’t get
As we all get ready to celebrate America’s birthday this weekend, let’s remember how lucky we are to live in such a wonderful country. I know it’s getting divided, and things are tough right now, but let’s not forget the people who fought hard for this country. Let your patriotism show this weekend! Whether it
You never thought that you could tell a joke. Oh, you’d start off right, tucking in all the funny motions and voices. You’d do the build-up like it was meant to be and you’d pause at all the right places but much as you tried, the punchline never arrived, or it did and it was
I try not to read film reviews before writing my own. But with Disney’s “Lightyear,” I happened to see a Harrisburg Patriot-News headline that said the movie “Goes to Adequacy — but Not Beyond.” This is the kind of line that makes a critic moan, “I wish I’d written that!” —more so because, in this
There is so much to love about summer, the smell of freshly cut grass, the smell of outdoor grilling, the smell of sunscreen. What smell I’m not so crazy about in the summer is body odor. Of course, everyone sweats, and it’s hard to keep your cool on those scorching days. However, if you are
