I have always vied the 70′s as the pivotal decade for modern music. I know that many would disagree with me citing the 60′s and the Beatles phenomena. I believed then, and I believe now, that the Beatles were way over rated. For me they vacillated between teeny bopper bubblegum pop, and pretentious rubbish! I know I am in the minority in my views and likely should hire a bodyguard for talking such heresy.
The Continue reading The Day The Music Died – Glam Meets The Mosh Pit Marilyn currently has several children’s books in print, I like then all. Elmer The Christmas Elf For Faithful Friends The Best Of Friends Inside Out
No-one has ever accused me of being mainstream, and reviewing what obviously is a Christmas book in March does not bother me one iota. Christmas is a wonderful time, I for one advocate that we should celebrate it every day. The rest of the world seems fixated on not doing that, which I think is a shame. One thing that you might not be aware of is the history of carols. We call the Christmas Carols today, but there were Continue reading Book Review: Elmer The Christmas Elf by Marilyn E. Randall
I like Marilyn Randall’s books, I had read her first two and they were delightful. Writing a book for a young child is actually much more difficult than one might imagine. For Faithful Friends was her first foray into the young child genre (review here), and it really demonstrated her great ability. I have reviewed many books aimed at children but Marilyn is the first author that I have really enjoyed that did not just write the text, but Continue reading Book Review: Inside Out by Marilyn E. Randall
There is nothing more exciting than to sit down to watch a good horror flick with a bowl of hot buttered popcorn and a tall glass of cold coca-cola and trying to keep from spilling it all when a scary scene comes up making you jump. I have loved horror movies since I was a kid, unfortunately it is not a taste in movies that my husband I share so I have to stay up at night alone if Continue reading DVD Review: Orlok The Vampire 3D Laser Blasting and solar powered! Watch out – It’s One Mean Machine! 70’s Exploitation cinema at it’s best!
Supervan is an exciting action packed film. Clint Morgan (Mark Schneider) defies his father by making a decision on his own. He decides to take the chance when he gets to enter his Van into a contest. He has the van customized like no other van has ever been. He has it equipped with lasers and a plush interior and the van Continue reading DVD Review: Supervan I first stumbled upon this very fine creator of young children’s books with For Faithful Friends, so taken with the book I decided to explore deeper. It transpires that Marilyn has a number of children’s books in print, The Best Of Best Friends is actually her second one of the series. As a reviewer I have to admit that I do love children’s books. The dynamics are completely different from the adult world. Occasionally people will ask me what makes for a great children’s book. I Continue reading Book Review: The Best Of Best Friends by Marilyn E. Randall I have a soft spot for children’s books, they are so much more fun to read than a lot of adult books and For Faithful Friends is no exception. It is a book that any young child would derive great pleasure from. One of the unusual aspects is that Marilyn Randall not only created the text but is also the illustrator, this believe it or not is quite rare. The illustrations are done in a fairly soft watercolor style and and match the age group of Continue reading Book Review: For Faithful Friends by Marilyn E.
