Dissecting Deeper Themes in ‘Pelham 123’

I really enjoyed discussing the deeper themes in the new Denzel Washington and John Travolta, about two men who face off and stand divided on what is right and wrong in one crazy train ride.

I shared my own ‘train’ of thought with Positive Hit Radio The Current. My buddy, radio personality Liz Lane, and I talked in particular about the issues of sin and redemption that are heavily prevalent in this Columbia/Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer release from director Tony Scott.

Positive Radio Comments About ‘Up’

Me at the mic at Positive Hit Radio The Current

Every Friday I review recent movies on Positive Hit Radio The Current. I couldn’t say enough about the new 3-D Disney/Pixar animated movie Up, so here is more for you! I spent time on the phone line with radio personality Liz Lane at The Current FM. The first is the radio version of my review. The second clip is commentary about the movie. Enjoy!

‘What About Bob?’: Fun Memorial Day Flick

What About Bob?

OK, I know. This one is an oldie. But you’ve worked hard, so it’s time to laugh! And what better way to do that than with a silly comedy from the ’80s?

The movie I am recommending is called What About Bob? This tale follows harmless hypochondriac Bob Wiley (Bill Murray) as he seeks to gain personal psychiatric help from the doctor he idolizes, Dr. Leo Marvin (Richard Dreyfuss). But Bob soon becomes a pest as he seeks to gain the attentions of Dr. Marvin while the psychiatrist is trying to enjoy a much-needed vacation with family. Soon Bob isn’t the only one who seems to be suffering from mental problems. Dr. Marvin seems to be going through his own personal breakdown. Crazy fun takes on new meaning in this classic. Hilarious one-liners and unforgettable Bill Murray humor.
