    "Shoot to Kill" will always have a special place in my heart. I love that film.

    So long, Mr. Tibbs! RIP

    Would have been their 46 years anniversary this month. Most sincere sympathies to Joanna.





    Joanna Shimkus was absolutely glorious in this cult movie.

    May you have a wonderful Afterlife, great Sir Poitier.

    This year's In Memoriam has added a true character. Wished you lived a 50.000 years.
