'Brian Dennehy' of 'First Blood, 'Return to Snowy River' dies at age 81

Brian Dennehy did so many guest starring roles on TV during the 1980's (Dynasty-Hunter-Cagney & Lacy). Too bad they didn't make him a regular. He had also done some good supporting work in movies. "First Blood" with Sly Stallone and the cop film, "The Last of the Finest." 

My favorite is his role as "Harrison" in the sequel "Return to Snowy River." He did a fine job after taking over the character from Kirk Douglas in "The Man from Snowy River." RIP...

Netflix 'Tiger King' helps re-open the case of a missing husband

"Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem & Madness" on "Netflix" brought in massive TV ratings and captivated millions of binge viewers. The 7-part docu-series also brought new interest in a missing persons case from the 1990's.... 

Carole Baskin is an animal rights activist who runs a tiger sanctuary. She had been feuding with Joe Exotic over his treatment of tigers in his own public sanctuary. This documentary revealed that Carole's second husband, Don Lewis, mysteriously disappeared back in 1997. He was a millionaire and she later inherited his fortune. Some believe that she fed Don to her tigers.... Since this documentary aired on March 20, 2020. Police have re-newed interest in Don's missing cold-case. It's a mystery folks....

'Exploited' Tigers lose in Netflix Documentary 'Tiger King'

"Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness" on "Netflix." I sat down and watched the whole seven episodes which was addictive television. It's about greed, money, fame and finally attempted murder.... 

At the center of this wild and crazy sub-culture are the "Tigers." These big cats are exploited for one commodity only and that is money ($$$). Tigers are breeded for cash. Plus, bought and sold for cash. The built sanctuaries and zoo's are used for shameless public consumption. Individuals even pay more than $600 just to take a picture with a tiger. Those baby tigers are even used to entice beautiful women for sex.

All of the men in this documentary at least show us that they want to profit from these cats. The woman named Carol is the real "hypocrite" here. She's an animal activist who criticizes these men. However, she does the exact same thing with exploitation. She just hides it under this supposed "caring" of wild animals.

The face of this documentary is "Joe Exotic" who opened his world of "Tigers" and how he exploits them.
