Get the Facts or Generate Them

Remember Jack Webb as Sergeant Joe Friday, TV detective from a once popular television called Dragnet? If you do, then you also know he is remembered for saying this one line which he always said whenever questioning female witnesses or suspects, in order to solve the crime: “Just the facts, mam.”

Just the facts, Ma'am. (n.d.) Endangered Phrases by Steven D. Price. (2011). Retrieved July 26 2016 from http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/Just+the+facts%2c+Ma%27am

Isn't that cool?

So my only question now is: Who is John Cazale ? (O.o) :)

Entertainment : 4 Movie Picks for Friday Night

Movies! Movies! Movies!! Love watching movies. Not enough time in the day, so there are some films that have not been viewed yet and as such are on My Watch List. They got on the list because of the fab reviews that were written by fellow bloggers. Very convincing!! Better than watching a trailer!  Decided they would be awesome for a Friday night at the movies!  :)  (Or Saturday night.  Or Sunday night.  Or any time you're in the mood to watch a good movie!)

- The Judge
Stars Robert Downey, Jr. and Robert Duvall. Will watch because I'm happy to watch any movie with Robert Duvall. Loved this man ever since “To Kill a Mockingbird” and he was only in a supporting role. Great review found at “Review This”.   Watch Trailer.

- The Equalizer
I'm a fan of Antoine Fuqua movies anyway. Plus really liked the old TV show by the same name. Justin Morales posted a great review!  Watch Trailer.

 - DELIVER US FROM EVIL
Recommended by a random Mexican named Daniel Hernandez. (The name of the blog is “Random Mexican's Movie Review Extravaganza”.)  Watch Trailer.

 - Big Bad Wolves
Non-American film. A Mystery / Thriller / Horror all rolled into one. Suggested by John Mountain who specializes in writing reviews of horror movies. The picture of Frankenstein for the bubble? Let me explain. Not really into scary flicks. Will watch the old horror movies like the kind with Boris Karloff and Lon Chaney Jr.** But John's review aroused my curiosity.   Watch Trailer.
