You have to cleanse your mind sometimes when you see some films. You get trapped in a seat for ninety-plus minutes as the cobwebs form in your brain at home as you watch. Your mind screams for the end credits to roll and when they do it’s with a perverse fascination with more attention than you gave the film to who made what you just saw. This was exactly the case the evening I partook of Director/Writer George Demick’s Taku-he: The Legend Of Bigfoot (2017).
This is ninety, count them ninety minutes of excruciating idiocy that can only be supplemented if one enjoys other things with a companion of choice or stops the film and walks around to the bar.

The only woman director to work in Hollywood in the 1950s, Ida Lupino earned full marks as a creative innovator and a positive force in the industry. It was a restrictive time for the movies: politically, socially, every which way. But Lupino’s independent film about a rape victim passed through the censorship gauntlet — as long as the ‘R’ word was never spoken, of course. Mala Powers is the distraught victim who tries to run away from life in the powerful drama, which remains valid and topical.

Jim Owens, who was in the forefront of bringing country music into a new era of entertainment television programming, died today with wife Lorianne Crook by his side.
Owens broke into national syndication in 1977 when he created and produced A Concert Behind Prison Walls with Johnny Cash, Linda Ronstadt, and Roy Clark.
The next year, he created the Music City News Country Awards. It became a top rated show in national syndication, with Owens producing and syndicating the awards show via his own company through 1984.

The Crook & Chase program, This Week in Country Music, brought country music entertainment news, interviews and performances to an audience hungry for information on its favorite music genre. The show was produced in various US cities and even went international.
