Six 100-Word Movie Reviews
"The Burbs" (2026), Creator: Celeste Hughey, Actors: Keke Palmer, Jack Whitehall Somehow, I got through this series. I was expecting something different. “The Burbs” takes a psychological thriller approach until it becomes a soap opera, where all the characters talk about random things. I am a Keke Palmer fan, but she felt so misplaced. Credits also include Jack Whitehall, Julia Duffy, Paula Pell, Mark Proksch, and Kapil Talwalker. The actors look like they’re having a fun time working with each other in scenes, but the dialogue and the storyline are so forced. The writing isn’t so good, and the actors try their best. It has to end with a cliffhanger ending.

Did Both Netanyahu Brothers Die in War?
Rumors and social media claims sometimes suggest that both brothers of Benjamin Netanyahu—the longtime Prime Minister of Israel—died in war. However, this claim is not true. Only one of the Netanyahu brothers died during a military operation, while Benjamin Netanyahu himself is still alive and active in politics. Understanding the real story requires a closer look at the Netanyahu family and a famous military mission that shaped Israeli history.

Best CRM Software for Small Businesses Compared
Small businesses typically begin managing customers using email threads, spreadsheets, and accounting software. That approach works while the number of customers remains small, but the moment a company begins handling dozens of active opportunities or managing recurring client relationships, operational visibility begins to deteriorate. Sales conversations are lost in inboxes, follow-ups become inconsistent, and leadership has limited insight into pipeline health.

History of The Three Stooges (Part I: The Beginnings and Columbia Pictures - 1920s-1936)
I have been itching to write about The Three Stooges on Vocal for close to two years, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. I wanted to do it by third Stooge, but that's a bit complicated. I know this much. I was about eight or nine years old when I first saw The Three Stooges. I remember one of my local channels had the Stooges on for hours, and I tried my damnedest to be up for those shorts. I remember that the Family Channel actually had an hour of the Stooges on from 11PM to midnight, and it was the entire library on during that time.

Series To Watch
I am certainly no stranger to a tv series and everybody knows that in my life. The amount of time I have spent in my existence watching shows on the television or my computer is honestly embarrassing considering I'm not getting paid for it. Maybe someone should be paying me for it. However, it does mean I get to share it with you, dear people. I will do a list order first, don't worry.

Oscar Prognostication 2026
DONOVAN’S OSCAR PROGNOSTICATION 2026 Oooo, a fun new theme for the Oscar films this year: generational trauma. A lot of dads (and some moms) making movies in 2025, doing therapy on film and trying to work through their fears as a parent (and hoping their kids don’t end up hating them and writing a book about them). As usual, it makes for such a fun crop of movies. So get comfortable for our session, while I lay on a couch and rant about my 27th annual Academy Award predictions. (We'll both probably need therapy by the time this is over.)

My Top 10 Favorite Movie Dragons
#1 - Smaug (from The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug) He is fire. He is death. While I am not a huge fan of The Hobbit movie series (I think the movies are extremely slow-paced), I was in awe when I first saw Smaug on-screen. Benedict Cumberbatch did an exceptional job with the motion capture facial expressions and movements, and his voice acting for the wicked wyvern is chilling. Smaug is brought to life in a terrifying way that leaves a lasting impression.
