2008 Woodie Awards
When I saw the trailer for The Secret Window I thought this film could be interesting. But, the hopes for an entertaining suspenseful movie ended when I saw the film's rating. The Secret Window was rated PG-13. Given that a PG-13 rating suggests that this film would be inappropriate for children under the age of 13, I thought that since this was an adult cast and dealing with adult situations it should have been given an R rating.
Imagine losing your leg and going about life like a joke? Well, in Dave Hanson's knee slapping hysterical book, Last Leg, Hanson captures the feeling but not in a way one would think. The book opens up with "My leg was gone." Hanson doesn't bore the reader with some cheesy line just to fill up space, like many contemporary writers do.
Here it comes everybody, the hard-headed, snotty punk band that has challenged the airwaves since 1989. Their music has inspired, or at the least made people think about the realities we face everyday; school, work, relationships, and the focus of their new album...politics.
I would like announce the Entertainer of the Week as none other than the boss man himself, Donald Trump. How much can one person do at a time? Apparently if you're The Donald you can accomplish anything your little heart desires. His hit television show The Apprentice has spun TV land out of control.
