CHRISTOPHER WALKEN THE SANEST MAN IN HOLLYWOOD by Jay S. Jacobs Mention the name Christopher Walken, and anyone you’re talking to will have a very strong, concrete image. There are very few actors in the world who spur such strong name recognition, such certainty on the part of an audience that we get what he’s all about. He’s a hard, … Continue reading →

William Shatner – Has Been (A PopEntertainment.com Music Review)

Posted on September 25, 2004 by popenterta • Leave a comment

William Shatner – Has Been (Shout! Factory) In any discussion of the worst records of all time, someone will mention William Shatner’s 1968 jaw-dropper The Transformed Man.

Alison Moyet – Voice (Sanctuary U.K.) Back in 1991, I interviewed Alison Moyet as she was releasing her third solo album HooDoo. At the time, we discussed her biggest international hit, an old-fashioned jazzy sounding cover of Billie Holiday’s “That Ole Devil Called Love.” Although the song topped the charts in most countries outside of the United … Continue reading →

The Munsters – The Complete First Season (A PopEntertainment.com TV on DVD Review)

Posted on September 18, 2004 by popenterta • Leave a comment

The Munsters The Complete First Season – 1964 (Universal-2004) Other than the Seavers on Growing Pains, was there ever a more shockingly grotesque suburban TV family than the Munsters? America’s automatic response, of course, is The Addams Family, but don’t even go there. Sure, the Addams were creepy, kooky and altogether ooky, but they were far from … Continue reading →

Here’s Lucy Best Loved Episodes from the TV Series (Shout! Factory-2004) Apparently, there were enough gay men and grandmas to keep Here’s Lucy firmly planted on CBS’ prime-time schedule during the most unlikely years of 1968-1974. For those of you who can’t keep your Lucy series straight, this one opened each episode with a winking, … Continue reading →

The Man Show Season One – Volume One (Red Distribution-2003) When Comedy Central actually lives up to its name, the result is raw and raucous.
