Frank Sinatra may have been one of the preeminent vocalists of the 20th Century, but it’s fair to say that his talents didn’t extend solely to the act of holding a microphone. Indeed, some have claimed that Sinatra was an even better actor then a singer, and if we overlook his vast recorded catalog, it’s quite obvious that Sinatra’s greatest advocation next to stretching his vocal cords was his performance ability in front of a motion picture camera.
From his first speaking role as himself in the RKO production of “Higher and Higher” in the 1940s all the way to his brief cameo in the 1995 CBS television film “Young at Heart,” based around a song of his, it’s hard to disagree that Sinatra had real presence on the theater screen, amplified by a body of movie work that rivals his recorded music and serves as ample proof that the singer belongs in that rare yet moderate category of 20th Century performers that had excelled both at musical and dramatic work, a talented group of individuals that includes Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Judy Garland, and so on.

Liddle’s Look at Upcoming Mob Movies…
February 10th, 2017 CEO 
By Joe Liddle
This time around I thought I’d talk about some upcoming movies in the mob genre. I spoke about The Life and Death of John Gotti in my last article, starring John Travolta, and I realize that there has been a surge of movies in this particular category. One that comes to mind is the recently released Live by Night, a Prohibition era flick directed by and also starring Ben Affleck as the lead role. From what I’ve seen, the movie itself has some very mixed reviews, averaging a 34% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 6.5 on IMDb, a huge drop compared to some of Affleck’s other directorial works, including The Town and Argo, both of which did very well.

Before Dice, Kinison and Clay there was Corey. The comedian had been sick and in the hospital but sent home ‘feeling better’ just two days before he died Monday evening. His last meal was comprised of ice cream and egg drop soup which somehow seems so fitting for a man with such a surreal brand of comedy.
“Sometimes, I forget what I’m talking about in the middle of a word,” Corey said at his 100th birthday party.
The Sinatra File: February ‘67 at Fifty
February 7th, 2017 CEO 
By Jerry Pearce
We take a brief moment here at “The Sinatra File” to make honorable mention of two milestones in the Sinatra recording canon, both of which, at the beginning of this month, celebrate fifty years since their creation. It was early in the year of 1967 and Frank Sinatra was shuffling through the doors of United Western Recorders in Los Angeles with his production crew in tow. In the matter of a few short days spanning the end of January and the beginning of February, some landmark moments were captured on tape, one of which would propel the name Sinatra back to the top of the record charts.
The Warren’s: A Legacy Of Paranormal Marvels Or Embellished Nonsense?
February 6th, 2017 CEO 
By Kristi O’Toole
For over fifty years, Ed and Lorraine Warren were considered America’s preeminent experts on the subject of spirits and demonology. The Warren’s had repeatedly been called in to control some of the most profane outbreaks of diabolical phenomena in the country. Cases where even priests become demon possessed. Cases where people are physically attacked. Cases where unworldly entities manifest and then preside. Cases where time is violated and the physical environment is completely rearranged. Cases where spirits don’t just haunt a house, they visibly tear it apart.

“I detest bad manners. If people are polite, I am. They shouldn’t try to get away with not being polite to me.”— Francis Albert Sinatra
May 14th, 2017, will mark the 19th anniversary of the passing of Music Icon Francis Albert Sinatra at the age of 82. As an avid fan who grew up to the sounds and stories of Sinatra from my late Father, Alvin Berkwitt, who collected his albums, worked rooms that he played at the Fountainbleau Hotel on Miami Beach, and watched all of his movies, I didn’t learn to really appreciate what Frank did for the world. It would hit me on my 22nd year on Planet Earth back in 1990, while stationed in Italy, and it hit me like a ton of bricks.
