Judge Judy Rules On America's Tube

Judge Judy Tops Ratings Charts

So I am glancing over scraps of a USA Today Newspaper and wouldn't you know it Judge Judy is glaring at me from the Life section with that judgmental scowl. Actually that is a bit of a fib. She was smiling and looked deceptively friendly.

Summer Block Buster Does it Right - Cameron and Tom Light It Up

For a while, I lost faith in the big screen. It just seemed that it was all about the quick money and not so much about the movie. The producers spend big on advertising and marketing talent and almost nothing on movie making talent. I hate that trend.
