After the passing of the great Martin Landau at the age of 89 in July this year, many film sites have turned to discussing the actor’s finest moments on screen. There is certainly an abundance to choose from, including his stunning performances in Ed Wood for which he won the Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, and Crimes and Misdemeanours, for which he earned an Academy Award nomination. For some filmgoers, especially poker fans, Landau’s greatest ever turn was in Rounders, when he played Professor Abe Petrovsky.
Was Martin Landau’s Role in Rounders One of His Best?

Tati’s World: Jerks at Work…
August 9th, 2017 CEO 
By Tatiauna Miller
A majority of our society has to go to work to make money. We spend a large percentage of our lives in a place of business surrounded by people we fucking don’t like! Let’s discuss some of the worst office offender and are you one of them?
The most common offender in my office is the Speakerphone conversationalist. This is the person that puts EVERY damn call on speaker. Not only is every call on speaker, the volume is turned up to 100 so the sounds travels through every cubical within a 50 yard radius. This person also feels like they must yell into the base of the phone, like they’re calling plays at an NFL game. I feel like since I’m forced to listen to the conversation, it should be perfectly acceptable for me to participate in the calls too. Why not? I’d love to tell Pam what I’d like for dinner tonight, or chime in about how to punish little Johnny for using up the family data plan.

In 1968, one of his biggest years, he outsold the Beatles.
Mob Real Estate…
August 7th, 2017 CEO 
By Marla Eggar
For the mobster who works hard and plays even harder the fruits of their labor are much to envy. Of course, smart gangsters learn to hide their wealth to keep from forking it over to the Feds or Uncle Sam. Others set up investments and fronts to explain their extravagant lifestyle. For example, Al Capone’s net worth when he died was estimated at $1,196,562,500.
Pearce’s Picks: Dick Haymes, 1958-1961
August 4th, 2017 CEO 
By Jerry Pearce
The life and career of Dick Haymes was covered in a piece written several articles ago here on Newzbreaker, and while given a brief mention, glossed over a unique benchmark in his career that saw the production of two fine swing albums heralded by the forgotten balladeer. While Haymes was best known for the tender readings of intricate ballads, his forte which allowed him to have a successful career serenading audiences with traveling orchestra throughout the 1940s, the singer could swing as well, most notably on two releases which saw the light of day in both 1958 and 1961.
The Bad Boys of the Irish Mob
August 3rd, 2017 CEO 
By Marla Eggar
For over 150 years the Irish Mob has battled the Mafia (Italian) the government and each other. Unlike the Italian mob the Irish operate more like lone wolves. They don’t have the buffers or the infrastructure the Italian mob has but their just as notorious and ruthless as their counterparts. Listed below are 7 of the Irish mob’s notable bad boys, across the Atlantic:
7.) John Gilligan
Gilligan ran a drug dealing empire focused on the distribution of hash. Known to be both egotistical and vain, Gilligan was anything, but when he received a 20-year sentence for drug trafficking. Gilligan’s notoriety will always be centered around the assassination of an innocent reporter and mother Veronica Guerin. Gilligan was exiled from England after multiple assassination attempts on his life and due to the murder of Veronica Guerin it’s safe to say he has no friends left in Ireland.
Tati’s World: Reality TV a Sticky Web of Guilty Pleasure!
August 2nd, 2017 CEO 
By Tatiauna Miller
Sunday night I got caught in the web of reality TV. It was like watching a couple argue in the car next to you or watching someone’s child have a temper tantrum in the mall. Those are all things you’re embarrassed to see happening in front of you, but can’t look away. That’s what reality TV is for me. I felt like both my eyes and brain were held hostage, and a perverse part of me enjoyed it. The conscious part knows a majority of these shows, if not all of them are staged for maximum messiness, but again, I couldn’t turn away. Any minute I was going to turn into a pillar of salt as I looked on.
The night started with me watching about 5 minutes of “Keeping up with the Kardashians.” I tuned in to Kim calling some stranger a slut and a whore and bragging to her cronies and Kanye that she went ghetto on her. First thing, I want to know is how she can “fix her mouth” to call someone a slut/whore, but got rich and famous off a porn?
The Sinatra File: Shot Down in Eighty-One
August 1st, 2017 CEO 
By Jerry Pearce
The decadent arrangement of “The Gal Who Got Away” and “It Never Entered My Mind” first sung by Frank Sinatra in the early 1980s, is perhaps the greatest fusion chart ever created for a singer of American standards. Combining a stomping orchestral chart by Nelson Riddle with some tasty intricate solo piano played by Sinatra sideman Vincent Falcone, the arrangement was the final selection on the brief but memorable Sinatra album “She Shot Me Down,” finally brought to the ears of listeners after nearly a decade of stops and starts in July 1981. The album recently celebrated its thirty-sixth anniversary, and is deserving of an honorable mention. With the exception of the “Duets” albums of the 1990s, “She Shot Me Down” is the next to last solo album produced for Sinatra’s label, Reprise Records.
Catch Me If You Can: Whitey Bulger
July 31st, 2017 CEO 
By Marla Eggar
James Joseph Bulger aka Whitey Bulger could turn on the charm one minute and become a psychopathic killer the next. He alluded police for years by becoming the Houdini of the underworld. Bulger was a master at manipulating circumstances and people. The South Boston native grew up in the first public housing project ever built in New England, The Old Harper. The area was predominately working-class Irish and was overall considered a safe place to raise your family. While Bugler’s siblings did well in school and excelled, he dropped out and became a juvenile delinquent. As a teen, he was arrested by the age of 13 for stealing off the back of a truck.
Guns N Roses Still Whetting Appetites 30 Years On
July 31st, 2017 CEO 
Make no mistake about it, Guns N’ Roses are more than just the quintessential hard rock band. One only needs to look at the band’s name to know that the Los Angeles rockers were truly ahead of the curve in every sense of the word. The name Guns N’ Roses was devised by adding the names of two of the band member’s previous groups together but rather than go with the conventional conjunction “and”, Slash, Axl and co decided to slap a giant ‘N’ in its place, perfectly capturing the essence of the band while speaking volumes about their no nonsense nature and unwillingness to conform.
A Closer Look at Robert De Niro
July 30th, 2017 CEO 
By Marla Eggar
Hollywood dignitary Robert De Niro is the ultimate supreme when it comes to actors. He’s given life to memorable characters like: Jake LaMotta (Raging Bull) John “Johnny Boy” Civello (Mean Streets) and the iconic young Vito Corleone (Godfather 2) and Jimmy Conway (Goodfellas) to name just a few amazing roles he given us. Robert De Niro has led a fascinating career and inspiring life. While it would be impossible to list all of his achievements in his 74 year time span I’ve instead jotted down some little known facts, for some, about both De Niro’s career and life:
