| Article Title :: Private Investigators on TV - Randall and Hopkirk (Diseased) |
| |
| This 1969 British TV series, Randall and Hopkirk (Diseased), introduced the rather bizarre concept of one half of a private detective team being a ghost, having died in a hit and run accident, during a routine divorce investigation. Rather extreme for divorce, you might think - and thereby hangs a tale.The ghost and brains of the operation is one Marty Hopkirk (played by Kenneth Cope), who appears to his, rather less bright partner, Jeff Randall (Mike Pratt), while Randall is visiting Hopkirk's grave in the cemetery.

In retaliation, the Israeli government recruits a group of Mossad agents to track down and execute those responsible for the attack.

Would Nasty Nick get caught? Would Mel and Andy get it together? How did Craig Phillips – The most boring man in the country ever end up the winner??

| Article Title :: Brokeback Mountain? Broken Promises Mountain -- more like it |

I even shed a tear at the end of the film as I realized the love so desired would never be.Of course, I’m speaking of Brokeback Mountain. The story of two gay sheepherders struggling with a love that could never be. But, could it?It wasn’t until much later when the fog of the beautiful music and the lush scenery that Ang Lee so beautifully brought to the screen faded from my memory. It wasn’t until my heart stop pining away for all the loves lost in my own life could I begin to see that this story is a depiction of lies (read full article) |
