May 18, 2007Cutout Bin: Martha Tilton et al.'s Christmas at Our House
Martha Tilton "and other great Hollywood vocal stars" Christmas at Our House (Tops/Mayfair, 1958) Merry Christmas, son. I'm sorry daddy lost his job, and mommy's too friendly with the bottle to be much help. If we start saving now, maybe we'll be able to get a tree next year. But daddy was lucky enough to find this carpet remnant in the trash, so hopefully you won't have a relapse of last year's pneumonia incident. And look. A croquet set, just for you. I bet the people at the garage sale n

[Note: Because a lot of people are apparently into American Idol, Rocks Off asked contributor Ray Cummings to keep track of this season for us. This is his first report.] "Hollywood Week" marks the point in American Idol's grist-mill rigamorole calendar where the kid gloves come off, when being cute 'n' quirky with the hint of a decent set of pipes isn't enough anymore, when it's time to separate the Kimberly Caldwells from the Josiah Lemings, when the cavalcade of Ford product placement be

May 21, 2009Pop Rocks: New Blood For Hollywood. Please
​I used to review movies (over here, if you care), an endeavor I had to quit for a variety of reasons: my hectic neurosurgery rotation, for one, as well as the increasing physical demands of the new Mrs. Vonder Haar, Carla Gugino.
