There's only one time when it's OK to combine the words "Movie" and "Turkey" - and that's when you're talking about great Thanksgiving movies. Here's my list of favorite films (in no particular order) in which the fourth Thursday in November plays a featured role.
Here's the image of Regis Philbin that I'll always carry with me: It was sometime in the mid-1990s, and I happened to be sitting in the audience of Live with Regis and Kathy Lee in New York City. They went to the first commercial break, and two things happened: Almost instantaneously, a curtain of…
Did I mention I hate Twitter more than anything? I think I did. Well, Facebook's not far behind, and I say that with sincere apologies to all the people who I dearly love-and with whom I would have no contact whatsoever, were it not for that mind-numbing, brain-draining, time-wasting, ego-bloating…
Our long national movie nightmare is over: the Grownup Movies Season is in full swing.

Patrick Duffy is in Los Angeles, but not for long. On this day, chatting with me for an episode of my Movies for Grownups radio show, , it seems he'd rather be home with his wife on his Oregon ranch. Still, business is business.
If it's true that societies have their own secular scripture, then Fiddler on the Roof would be part of America's canon; a treasured ritual with an accepted order of service including reassuring litanies, familiar hymns, and inspiring sermons. Each year, millions of the faithful flock to Fiddler…
The good news: All My Children and One Life to Live aren't going to disappear after all. After the shows leave the ABC airwaves this fall ( AMC) and early next year ( OLTL), they'll reappear with all-new episodes online.
