Jesus Christ Superstar was the first professionally staged theatrical  production by legendary Broadway hit makers, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. The musical rock opera, which first hit Broadway in 1971, tells the story of the last week in the life of Jesus of Nazareth and his struggles wit...

There's no question in this contest buyer's win.  Buyers snap foreclosed properties left and right. That's just the reality here on the ground on foreclosed properties: if they're decent, clean, and well priced it would sell first over their competition, that is the other type ...

Man, if there was ever a Senator who should not ask strangers "do you know who I am?" it is David Vitter of Louisiana. And yet, that is what he said at Dulles last week.

Today was very English - grey and overcast, breezy, mild enough to go out with a scarf and gloves but take them off after a few minutes walking. I walked about 3/4 mile down to Tenleytown to go shopping at Whole Foods, and as I exited the store just the right bus came along.  It's possibly my first...

Wonder Woman (2009 - Blu-ray) The Story: Pretty good. Exactly what I was expecting. Not as focussed, structurally sound or iconic as i'd hoped but completely serviceable. To be fair, nearly every single criticism I can throw at producer Bruce Timm, director Lauren Montgomery and crew's animated Wond...
