Frasier’s 11-season run proves that it’s possible to reprise a character for a new series, and even take it to an entirely new level....

Everyone loves a prison break movie and I am no exception. In fact, one of my favorite films is “The Great Escape,” the classic Steve McQueen film, which also featured an all star-cast that included James Garner, Charles Bronson and James Coburn. Director Peter Weir’s latest film holds many similarities to the McQueen classic, while at the same time telling a fresh and original story that is just as powerful now as it was when it actually happened....

Despite its central position in the United States, not many American films are set in the Midwest. One of the most famous lines in Hollywood history concerns the region, but in negation: “Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.” In this iconic moment, Kansas (and the Midwestern Americana it embodies) represents everything unsatisfying about American life, transcended by Technicolor extravaganza....

The saying “too much of a good thing” is usually employed by despairing parents as they attempt to lure another chocolate bar away from their child’s mouth, in the hope that the thought of jeopardizing their liking of the said chocolate will act as enough of a deterrent that they will discard of the sweet treat without remonstration.
