*****SPACETIME SPOILERS!***** The Reboot With its second season ending on an intriguing cliffhanger, NBC has made the decision not to renew its previously on-the-bubble TV series “Quantum Leap” (QL), which was a soft-reboot/sequel to the original series (1989-1993), featuring a new cast who continue in the time-traveling footsteps of Dr. Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula) and…

*****DELOREAN-SIZED SPOILERS!***** This past Saturday, my friend Kathy (whom I’d known 35 years) and her 12-year old son Joshua came over for a marathon of the “Back to the Future” trilogy—all three films in one day. Joshua is a huge fan of 1980s movies, and after becoming enamored with “Ghostbusters” as a little boy, he…

Superman Reborn. “Superman: The Movie” redefined the superhero genre. Released in December of 1978, the film made possible the big-budget release of Tim Burton’s “Batman” 11 years later, not to mention the current DC and Marvel cinematic/TV waves being ridden to this day. Before Richard Donner’s film, my generation had the campy, tongue-in-cheek “Batman” and…
