Film Review: Oklahoma (1955)

Unlike some movie musicals, such as My Fair Lady which placed dramatic actors in the main roles and either allowed them to do their singing best (Rex Harrison, who talked his way through most of his numbers) or actually dub, as in Marni Nixon's singing over Audrey Hepburn's lip-synching, Oklahoma placed actual singers in most of the roles.

Bos Rooibos Tea Review: Like Going Home – Or An Ode to South Africa

Twin Peaks — A Love Letter

Highly praised by critics and scholars as one of the best pilot episodes of all time, it was two parts provincial and one part horrifying. We begin our journey by meeting the Martells, the local bigwig owners of the Packard Mill that processes all the lumber in the logging town.
