The Nat King Cole Show (1956–1957)
10/10
Nat King Cole Show was a class act!
26 October 2006
I recently came across this show on BET Jazz the other day. It amazes me that nobody wanted to sponsor this show for fear of reprisals from their racist southern(and northern) customers. Alas, things have not changed in this country. We are still ruled but the sick and disgusting disease called racism.

Nuff said about that.

The NKC show featured guests such as Sammy Davis Jr, Louie Bellson, Pearl Bailey and others. You were also greeted by Nat throughout his show by his stellar singing voice. There will never be a show of this caliber ever again.

Lone Star (1996)
7/10
Nice Plot but loose ends don't get tied at the end
2 June 2006
Warning: Spoilers
I actually enjoyed this movie a lot. It has the plot plot plus several other "subplots" between various characters that sadly don't get resolved by the end of the movie. Only the main characters(Chris Cooper & Liz Pena) come to grips with their fate by the end of the movie and the other plots between the other characters just stop. The movie run time is about 2 1/2 hours and you'd think that would be enough time to wrap up all the subplot as well as the main plot. For instance, what happens to the black female sargeant and her white equal counterpart who wanted to get married? Do Col. Payne and his father mend their differences? I would actually like to see this movie redone because it has potential, but it just doesn't deliver.
