Christopher Walken – The Sanest Man in Hollywood

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

Here’s Lucy – Best Loved Episodes from the TV Series (A PopEntertainment.com TV on DVD Review)

Here’s Lucy Best Loved Episodes from the TV Series (Shout!
