The 1970s were not short on films serving as character studies of some of the more ruthless individuals.

Here’s a weird thing to celebrate and commemorate. While I understand we SHOULD award and appreciate the journalism and work done to uncover the Watergate scandal, its still a very dark spot in American history. Its something I do think is good to look back on and learn from but an All The President’s Men […]
Naked City is a spin off television of the film noir classic of the same name. The show spanned for 4 seasons and ran 138 episodes from 1958-1963. While the film version was very noir, this show has some of that feel, but is more of a police procedural than anything. And it’s more procedural […]
