Happy Birthday to Mila Kunis

Mila Kunis, one of the few who began acting as a child and managed to maintain a thriving career into adulthood, turns 40 years old today. We celebrate by bringing out photos of her through the years!

Musical Monday with Tom Jones

I heard on the top-of-the-news on Sunday that Tom Jones had died. Turns out, it was Tom Jones the lyricist/stage director not Tom Jones the singer.

THIS Tom Jones passed away at 95, from cancer.

This Tom Jones is still very much alive (and only in his 80s). I should have realized I was making a mistake when I thought "I had no idea he was that old")

And here's the LIVING Tom Jones and his mighty voice, in an unusual video of him from the 1960s, performing his most iconic song, "It's Not Unusual".

It's Shoot-'Em Sunday...

... but the lovely ladies are just lounging about with their guns.

Fanny Friday!

  

Wonder Woman Wednesday!

Wonder Woman is taking some time to relax this summer, so here are a few portraits of her lounging around.

 

Vincent Price is at the 'Crossroads'

Crossroads: God's Healing (1956)
Starring: Vincent Price, Marcia Henderson, Frieda Inescort, and Adam Kennedy

Director: Nathan Juran

Rating: Seven of Ten Stars

While counseling an elderly woman with a failing heart (Inescort), the pastor of a healing ministry (Price) attempts to rebuild her broken family and restore her relationship with her daughter (Henderson).

"Crossroads" was a dramatic anthology show that began the ABC Network and moved onto syndication. Every week, it presented a tale of a clergyman overcoming challenges, righting lives, and saving souls while being a sterling example of what a truly good man should be, regardless of his religious affiliation.

The episode "God's Healing" is well written and populated by believable characters portrayed by good actors. The way the story unfolds and way the characters interact with each other actually manages to make what could have been boring and predictable into a story where the outcome remains in doubt almost until the very end.

It's also a nice reminder that Vincent Price could actually play likeable characters and didn't always go over the top in his performances. The gentle, compassionate demeanor he presents in this role shows that he had a far greater range as an actor than one gets from just watching his work from the mid-1960s onward where he was almost all-camp and comedic all the time.

Whether you're a Vincent Price fan, or interested in some light, uplifting entertainment, I think you'll find "God's Healing" to be worth half an hour of your time. Click below to check it out.

It's a Mohammed Monday!

 
THIS WEEK WITH JESUS & MO

Musical Monday with Brenda Lee

 

On this Monday, we present a song in honor of those being celebrated on August 10, International Prisoner Remembrance Day. Maybe if some of them found in jails and prisons here in the U.S. felt sentiments along the lines of those expressed by Brenda Lee in this week's offering, there would be fewer of them locked up and less repeat offenders.

Sunday Comics with Milton Knight

Here's a tale of manslaughter and mystery from the pen of an underappreciated artist and story-teller, Milton Knight. This was adapted from a short story by the equally great Arthur Conan Doyle, and we hope you find it as enjoyable and impressive as we did! (Click on the pages to see larger, more easily read versions.)
