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?

Julie Delpy – Paris Match

Posted on by • Leave a comment

Julie Delpy Paris Match by Jay S. Jacobs Sometimes, through a mixture of hard work, talent and sheer luck, a movie just clicks.  Everything works.  The 1995 romantic comedy/drama Before Sunrise was one of those films.  It stood out from the pack of the Gen X films of the time, because it was smart, funny and had a serious point of view.  It was light … Continue reading →
