Natives more prominant in new Movie Trailer for THE REVENANT

A second film trailer has been released for THE REVENANT. Leonardo DiCaprio's half breed Native son is more prominent here & it is pretty intense. Leo's character is also attacked by a grizzly bear. This looks real good. 

NEW TRAILER: "The X-Files" miniseries premieres on Jan. 24, 2016 on FOX.

Of course, I'm a big fan...,

DATELINE episode FOOT-PRINT IN THE DUST is the 2015 Fall TV season premiere. It is the saddest & most heartbreaking 2-hour episode on record. A mother walks 20 steps to her apartment & disappears.

THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA on NBC has diabetic boy kidnapped

The 2015 Fall season premiere of THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA (NBC) had some cast changes. There is a new captain of Laura's precinct & no one likes her. Jake demoted himself to senior detective & the silly blonde is gone. I actually liked her, but maybe the producers thought she was too funny. Laura is the lead character & she's supposed to be the funny detective mom.

LANCE ARMSTRONG documentary more intriguing than upcoming film

I was a huge fan of Lance Armstrong & read his first book IT'S NOT ABOUT THE BIKE several times. It was inspirational, but he was drunk with power. That's what destroyed him. The documentary THE ARMSTRONG LIE (2013) was very, very good. The film THE PROGRAM looks interesting, but I'm done...,

Albuquerque thunder storm is beginning of Fall 2015

Robert Redford portrays Dan Rather in TRUTH

It was called at the time "Rathergate." Dan Rather was the news anchor for the "CBS EVENING NEWS." He lost that position & his producers also lost their jobs. This after a news segment saying President George W. Bush went AWOL from his post during the Vietnam War. That story would later be questioned by critics as false. 

Now, Robert Redford is portraying Dan Rather in this movie about that incident. The real Dan Rather gave his blessings for filmmakers to make the movie. It opens in theaters Oct. 16, 2015. I can't wait to see it. 

COLD JUSTICE 10 suspects don't recall double murders IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD: PART 2

COLD JUSTICE Investigators thought all along that the 3 homicides were connected with the 2-part episode called, IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD: PART 1 & 2. One woman stabbed & burned to death. Two men had their throats slit & bodies burned. It was just 5 months a part in a small town. This was back in 1992 & after more than 20 years. The 10 suspects don't recall the murders because of so many years of drug use. Witnesses, family & friends are interviewed. Then, there is a surprise confession.

Debra Messing in THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA on NBC

I've decided to add THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA on TV recap news articles. Why? Because it's about murder & I am all about homicide. I binge watched 6 episodes of the first TV season over at HULU. Debra Messing (Laura) raises two boys & handles a crew in her police precinct. That includes her husband Josh Lucas (Jake). There is comic relief against the back drop of murder in New York. I really liked it. People thought it would be cancelled by NBC, but fans are tuning in. The 2nd TV season starts this Wednesday night.

Roscoe to recap 2015 Fall TV season crime & murder shows

Hey everybody -- the Fall TV season is beginning for 2015. I will be recapping my favorite crime TV shows which includes -- HAWAII FIVE-0 -- PERSON OF INTEREST -- ELEMENTARY. So, stay tuned...,

I will still recap my favorite crime shows DATELINE & 48 HOURS which will begin their Fall TV seasons too. I'm excited.

I recap these TV shows because I search for story lines for my native movie screenplays. I'm beginning a new screenplay filled with natives, murder & mystery.

1985 Billboard magazine's top 20 pop songs

Madonna burst into pop culture with her belly button on display under ripped clothes. It really was a phenomenon as teen girls dressed like that all year round. TV stars copied that look later & showed their belly buttons at award shows through their gowns. Madonna's LIKE A VIRGIN record song was huge. I mean huge...!

MURDER, SHE WROTE on CBS became a hit with older audiences & ran for an astonishing 12 TV seasons. Angela Lansbury was nominated for her lead work in the TV show, but never won an Emmy award. Not one single Emmy. -- 60 MINUTES on CBS is still running - but back in 1985 - it was a monster TV hit with the old, older audiences. Nothing stopped the 1 hour program on Sunday nights. It trounced all the competition when there was only 3 major networks, ABC, NBC & CBS. 

George Michael was going to leave the group WHAM & it really was a big deal. Their biggest hit was CARELESS WHISPER. 2 years later, Michael was the biggest pop-star on the planet with FAITH. I'd have to say my favorite song of 1985 was IN MY HOUSE by the Mary Jane Girls. It would start every house party at my college. A real close second is EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD by Tears for Fears. I wore out the cassette singles of both songs. Remember, there were no CD's back in 1985. We had cassette boom boxes. Hah!

LONGMIRE season finale has someone wanting to kill Walt...,

WHAT HAPPENS ON THE REZ..., is the 10th episode of the 4th TV season of LONGMIRE. And I must say that - it isn't as dramatic as the season 3 finale. Walt does find another woman in his life & it isn't Vic. They had worked so close together that it looked more like a friendship than anything else. Vic was forced to confront him in that ally because she needed to find out where she stood. She now has to sort out her feelings & get back to work. 

Jacob is a manipulator who is obviously using casino money to get Henry & Cady on his side. Cady actually takes the $750,000 to be a legal consultant on the Rez. Henry can't do anything right now because in the end, Mathias has him in handcuffs. Henry did kill, but there has to be proof. He really did help Gabrielle who was said to turn into her spirit - the red tail hawk who actually flew away.

As for Walt who has finally found a beautiful & kind woman. Her obsessed patient torched her van out of the blue. While they were on the bed getting intimate. Was it that patient who broke down Walt's front door? Or was it all the men & women who hate Walt? I say it's Walker Browning because he certainly is a desperate person. Another cliffhanger & I hope there is a season 5 because I thought season 4 was excellent.

Click on the Photo for TV recap of WHAT HAPPENS ON THE REZ..., 

LONGMIRE season finale 10th episode is another cliffhanger

I just watched the 10th & finale episode of the 4th TV season of LONGMIRE. My TV recap is coming soon. I think I know who burst into Walt's home at the end. It was Walker Browning who was injured while trying to capture Gabrielle. He tried to protect his job & cover up the murder of one of his worker's. Two of them raped Gabrielle & got away with it legally. 

Yep, I think Vic is still hung up on Walt as he moves on with the blonde therapist. Vic even sleeps with Aemon to quell her needs. Will she get over Walt? As for the deputy position left open by Branch. Well - talk about drama - concerning the young men. I think Aemon deserves it even though Vic doesn't want him to have it. 

And poor Henry..., arrested again, but he set out to help his Indian people. He guided Gabrielle in finding her way after a double rape. Henry became Hector even though Mathias thinks he's an accessory to murder during that party, in the forest, on the reservation border. 

I hope there is a season 5, but I must say. Season 4 was the best of the best.

 

LONGMIRE non-indians try to get away with crime on Indian reservation

Well, what an interesting TV season with LONGMIRE. It's unbelievable when there is no justice after white men commit crimes on the reservation & never get punished for it. But, when Gabrielle (Julia Jones) takes the law into her own hands. She deserves death on her own Indian reservation. I think Henry was just trying to help his Indian people by bringing back Hector who spent his life helping the helpless.

As the episode SHOTGUN played out. Henry got shot & was still willing to protect Gabrielle. She spent her life believing she deserved everything that went wrong including being raped by two white men. On the other side, Walt only wants the truth & the law in Absaroka county to protect everyone including Gabrielle.

The reservation victim, the sheriff, the hateful white boys & Henry - had to clash. There is justice, but the consequences are pretty hard to swallow. In the end, Indians have to help Indians physically & spiritually. Henry did the right thing as Hector which Gabrielle finally saw as a sign of hope in her life.

 (Henry wanting to be Hector & help his own Indian people).

Gabrielle & Henry are fugitives on the run in LONGMIRE

My TV recap is coming soon. LONGMIRE episode GUNSHOT. Give Lou Diamond Phillips an Emmy award for that scene with him taking pliers to pull out the bullet. This is truly a modern western with wide open spaces & people doing desperate things to live!

Vic jumped that deputy's "bones" & she suspects Walt is seeing a new woman. He is starting to date the blonde therapist. The new deputy Zack is being stalked by Monty who was the other primary candidate for deputy. Psycho.

Henry & Gabrielle go in search of a Crow Medicine Woman & they just might disappear. Episode 10 looks to be excellent online streaming TV.

 (Henry had to ditch his reliable truck to go on the run in GUNSHOT episode).

Johnny Depp goes villian in BLACK MASS

They all worked on their Boston accents for this new gangster film BLACK MASS. Johnny Depp look pretty menacing.

LONGMIRE has the best TV season in writing...,

LONGMIRE: Well, I was quite surprised that Gabrielle showed up with a gun. It looked like Henry was trying to live up to Hector's way of life, where he helps the helpless Indians on the reservation. It is very admirable of Henry, but I don't think he expected Gabrielle to take matters into her own hands. Walt & Vic were arresting the man who actually murdered Gabrielle's first rapist. They were all at the party on the reservation. Gabrielle dropped the gun she shot & Henry was only trying to protect her when Walt showed up in the dark. I Had A Cow! - when Walt shot at Henry's shadow when he ran away through the forest. 

I'm gonna watch episode 9 tonight to see what happened. Click on the photo for TV recap of HECTOR LIVES.

LONGMIRE episode HECTOR LIVES Walt shoots gun at Henry's shadow

HECTOR LIVES on LONGMIRE. My TV recap is coming soon. The question remains, "Did Henry take up Hector's job in helping his Indian people?" It is unclear until the end of this episode. Someone has killed one of Gabrielle's rapist's whose death looks like an accident. Walt knows Henry & confronts him about Hector coming back to life.

The surprise is at this forest party near the Reservation. Walt & Vic show up to arrest someone for murder. Henry shows up & Gabrielle does too with a gun. It goes off & Walt runs through the trees to see what's going on. He shoots his rifle at Henry's shadow in the forest. 

This is the best TV season of LONGMIRE. In my opinion of course...,

THE SHAMAN movie trailer is a not Native American stereotype either

Hah...! I thought this was about a Native American. I guess my mind is programmed to stereotypes.

 

LONGMIRE episode HIGHWAY ROBBERY leads to Indian casino & murder

My TV recap is coming soon. I'm a happy camper because Ally Walker has joined the cast of LONGMIRE as a therapist. I knew Walt was going to ask her out & they both have chemistry. Ally is sexy as all-get-out. I liked Lizzie for Walt because she was funny. But that ship has sailed after season 2. Walt & Vic were attracted to each other & she tried to get closer in season 4's first episode. But...,

I have to admit, I don't like officer Mathias because he is always so angry. The racism on the reservation is evident which is getting tiresome. Cady goes to see Mathias & the secretary calls him & says, "there's a white girl to see you." Geez, give it a rest, but there are many natives like that in 2015. 

I like it that Henry & Walt's friendship is still intact because they understand each other. I laugh-out-loud when Henry always in-advertantly hits Walt physically. The TV writer's keep close to the novels & I love it!

LONGMIRE episode THE CALLING BACK on NETFLIX

Well, the Cheyenne mother in this episode "the Calling Back" is angry & a victim. She pushes that onto her own daughter after she is raped by a white male. She teaches her to "shut up" because there will be no justice. It's real sad, but there are Native women like this today. A powerful episode on LONGMIRE. 

Click on the photo for TV recap over at Examiner News.

 

THE JUNGLE BOOK movie has CGI effects

Some CGI effects ruin films. THE JUNGLE BOOK looks like it's almost there but..., Judge for yourself.

THE CALLING BACK episode of LONGMIRE has Cheyenne women as generational victims

My TV recap is coming soon at Examiner News. All I'm going to say is "Unbelievable!" The 6th episode "The Calling Back" shows us that Cheyenne women are still victims of white men through the generations. These native women are taught to "shut up" because they will never see justice because white men have the power. This will make you angry because a native mother teaches her daughter how to play the victim just like her ancestors. And all that Walt, Vic & Cady can do is try to help.

Wow, you can see the anger that goes back generations. Especially in Malachi who hides his anger under sarcastic remarks. Tribal officer Mathias is always angry too. There are so many natives like him & just like the mother. The writers took guts to tackle this subject of racism, power & the powerless.

HELP WANTED episode has Walt searching for a new deputy in LONGMIRE

LONGMIRE episode HELP WANTED. I must say -- The Ferg has really stepped up as a deputy in Absaroka County. You can tell that he still likes Cady Longmire. As for Vic, well, she liked the deputy who helped out when Walt took a leave of absence. She called him, but another woman's voice answered his iPhone. I think she still likes Walt, but maybe that ship has sailed for the both of them. I mentioned that another blonde has entered the life of Walt through his latest investigation. I may be wrong, but he was looking at her more than just a witness. We'll see...,

I think Zachary will be okay as the new deputy. Click on the poster for TV recap over at Examiner News.

 

Former classmate Mark Skinner passes away

The Internet gives us a lot of information & that includes news from our hometowns. I haven't seen nor talked to Mark Skinner since High School way back when. We weren't friends, but only went to school together. I didn't realize he fought a form of disease all his life. I just read his obituary & he said other people have it worse. He went on to live a life & have kids. Good for him & how courageous is that?

Time moves so fast & people pass on. A hand full of my Native generation, who I grew up with, are gone now too. I can only say Mark, that I remember you. I know that your soul has now found some peace. There is no more pain. Rest easy now..., RP

LONGMIRE episode 5 called HELP WANTED has Walt moving on

My next TV recap of Episode 5 will come soon. I want to say thanks again for reading my TV recaps of LONGMIRE. You are just as big a fan as I am of the modern western. My last two recaps are ranked at number 4 & number 5 over at Examiner News. Everything changes in 24 hours because of Internet trending on what's popular. Thanks for stopping by. 

HELP WANTED has Walt hiring a new deputy to replace Branch Connally. It's sad, but life moves on even when good characters are killed in the story lines. A blonde therapist was introduced in this episode & she is played by Ally Walker. I think Walt is attracted to her & I hope she sticks around because I think she's one sexy woman. Just Sayin'...,

Navajo Indian Tacos popular at "Indian Village" NM State Fair 2015

Roscoe goes to $1 Dollar Day at the New Mexico State Fair 2015

Hey everyone -- I went to the New Mexico State Fair today because it was $1 Dollar Day. Thousands flocked to the gates & I will have a photo slide show in my latest article which is coming soon. 

Of course, I went straight to the Indian Village & it is very popular at the fair. It's got to be because of the Navajo Indian Tacos & Fry Bread. I took photos of the people who bought those big turkey legs too. Tasty looking. I think everyone goes to the fair just to eat.

On Tuesday is $2 dollar day, but I think the fair isn't suffering. They are making big bucks. Click on the photo for NM State Fair website.

LONGMIRE episode FOUR ARROWS has Walt returning to work to find a dead body

First, Thanks everybody for reading my TV recaps of LONGMIRE. My last recap of the episode HIGH NOON has climbed to number #1 in rankings with society & culture at Examiner News. That of course is the episode where Barlow confesses to killing his own son & ordering the murder of Walt's wife Martha. 

I just watched the next episode FOUR ARROWS. Walt took 6 weeks off of work to deal with the aftermath of Barlow's death. He returns to find the dead body of a young woman right before the grand opening of the FOUR ARROWS Indian Casino.

By the way, I didn't think Walt had to apologize to Jacob Nighthorse for anything. He was complicit in Martha's death. Walt was funny though in the way he half-heartedly apologized. Click on the photo for my TV recap of FOUR ARROWS. 

48 Hours on CBS might have a false confession in "Death on the Hudson"

DEATH ON THE HUDSON is a repeat episode on 48 HOURS, but with brand new evidence. A European woman confesses to what looks like false statements on the death of her American boyfriend. Police want a confession of murder after 11 hours of hard questions. They get it but security tapes show the audience a different story. Very, very interesting.

"SAG-AFTRA has signed a collective bargaining agreement with the production company Beware Doll Inc. to cover Off Camera with Sam Jones." 

Which means union members can audition and/or be hired onto this new show.

LONGMIRE episode HIGH NOON has Barlow confessing to a double murder

LONGMIRE episode called HIGH NOON. It was a gun duel between Walt Longmire & Barlow Connally that marked the end of Walt's search for the man who ordered the murder of his wife Martha. Barlow confessed to it & also to killing his own son Branch because he stumbled onto Barlow & Jacob's scheme's & deceit. Wow -- It has been 4 long TV seasons & Walt's journey for the truth has ended. Remember in the first episode, when he cried because he lost Martha?

HIGH NOON  was an incredible episode because it came down to good & evil. Barlow knew that Walt would eventually find out about everything. He was jealous of Walt too because Branch was a good deputy under Walt. Barlow's greed overcame him because of the Indian casino being built by Jacob Nighthorse. That greed cost him his son. Walt was right. Barlow is going to Hell.

HIGH NOON is my favorite episode of all 4 TV seasons. It has great writing & it stays close to the mystery books written by Craig Johnson. Click on the photo for the HIGH NOON recap over at Examiner News.

 (In happier times with Branch & Barlow Connally)

LONGMIRE Season 4, Episode 3 HIGH NOON has Barlow & Walt in gun shootout

LONGMIRE. My TV recap will come to Examiner News soon. But -- Did you all watch episode 3 called, HIGH NOON? Holy Mother of God - It has to be the best written episode ever. Everything comes to a head over the death of Branch Connally. Cady helps Walt figure out what happened to Branch & who killed him. He also finds out who ordered the murder of his wife Martha. 

All I'm going to say is -- that Walt Longmire & Barlow Connally have a gun shootout to the death. It's Goddamn Incredible!

No INDIAN FRY BREAD CONTEST at New Mexico State Fair 2015

There will be no Powwow inside the Indian Village this year. There will also be no "Indian Fry Bread" contest either because it is not on the schedule.

They didn't place because the winners were announced on Thursday Sept. 10.

LONGMIRE begins with 4th TV season & Branch is supposedly dead

Well, I just cannot believe Branch Connally committed suicide. Walt believes he was murdered & it looks like Branch's death might be a cover up by either Jacob Nighthorse or Barlow Connally. Remember, Branch & Barlow were skeet shooting & a gunshot went off in a cliff hanger.

Also, Malaki has taken over the RED PONY from Henry Standing Bear. He is more concerned with Hector who was a witness last year who supposedly died. Branch had video surveillance of Barlow & Jacob discussing how to kill Martha who was Walt's wife. The video cameras have gone missing. 

My only beef with the season premiere on Netflix was Jacob using the ridiculous GENERAL CUSTER act aimed at Walt. Jacob's speech was just stupid. Come on, this is 2015, but I guess there are natives who still feel it is the "white man against the Indian." Jacob is ruthless though, because he now has Indian casino money to throw around. Remember, he was hired by Barlow to kill Martha. He then hired David to kill her too. But in return, David hired Miller to stab Martha to death in Denver.

SAG-AFTRA show us your card & tell us your story on video

Did you guys get the email from the SAG-AFTRA president Ken Howard? Union members can create a short video of how & when they got their SAG-AFTRA card. Just send it in to the email provided. It's called "Show us your card, Tell us your story."

I probably won't send in a video because it's really no Big Deal to anyone but "me." I got my SAG card on the comedy film SLACKERS 2001. I played a college student & I was 30-something. I looked real young. Jason Segel is one of the lead characters in the comedy & he's in a black & white classroom scene. I'm sitting in front of him taking a test. The director told us that we had to pass that test. The camera pulled out from Jason & it's about 14 seconds long. I look like I'm really concentrating too. Hah!

I had not seen the film until this year 2015. I'm also in another scene in the background talking with a female student. I have a red shirt on. An actor classmate knew the film's director & he got me the job where I received my 3 SAG vouchers that qualified me for my union card. I've been a proud member since. By the way, I just cut off my long hair too in 2000. I got tired of the NATIVE WARRIOR thing & stopped.

Below is a screen shot of my scene. I'm in front of Jason Segel. SLACKERS is not great & wasn't a success at the box office. But, it got me in. I've been trying to get a lead role ever since without success.

First photo of Matt Damon as Jason Bourne in next film sequel 2016

As everyone knows -- I'm a huge fan of JASON BOURNE & I'm excited for the next installment which comes in 2016. Matt Damon & Paul Greengrass (movie director) are back for the next sequel. Both of them share screenwriting credits. Damon would only return to the action series if Greengrass would -- who didn't for THE BOURNE LEGACY in 2012 with Jeremy Renner as Aaron Cross. 

Universal Pictures announced that Damon wanted to return in 2016. There is no news on Jeremy Renner to return for his next sequel in 2016. It would be excellent if Aaron & Jason would pass each other in a movie scene. But, that's just dreaming from an overzealous fan. It could happen. Hah!

Below is the first photo of Damon as Jason Bourne on the set of the yet untitled action thriller. And it looks like he is more "physically ripped" than he has been in the first three films. It also looks like Jason is gonna kick some major ass...!
