In the Orchard – Independent Feature Film Review

May 19, 2018 by Rebecca Forstadt-Olkowski 4 Comments

Independent films are often tossed by the wayside and never see the light of day in movie theaters. With the advent of mass cable TV production, low-budget projects get shoved under the rug even more. While they may be done on the cheap, some turn out to be outstanding, moving, and timely. The latter is true of In the Orchard. It's a feature film directed by Christopher … [Read more...]

Cold War TV and Other Shows We Loved to Watch as Kids in the 1960s

April 4, 2018 by Rebecca Forstadt-Olkowski 14 Comments

With all the talk about Russia, I thought it would be fun to look back at some of the Cold War-themed TV shows we watched when we were young.

Inspiring Movies | Girl's Trip

We go to movie screenings often at the TV Academy in North Hollywood and now that we live 10 minutes away, we go even more.  I love inspiring movies but wasn't sure about two of the films we were scheduled to see. I'd never heard of them before and their story lines didn't sound like my cup of tea. If they hadn't been screenings I probably would have missed them. Patty … [Read more...]

A United Kingdom [Film] An Interracial Marriage that Changed a Country

June 4, 2017 by Rebecca Forstadt-Olkowski 6 Comments

I’m a sucker for true stories so when Twentieth Century Fox gave me the opportunity to screen the film, “A United Kingdom,” my interest was piqued. It’s a love story about culture and prejudice that begins in 1947. Prince Seretse Khama, in line, to become King of Bamangwato in the British Protectorate of Bechuanaland, (now Botswana) meets, falls in love, and marries … [Read more...]
