The 1920s, to hear some historians tell it, were one big party - at least for the luckier part of the population, the folks listed in the Social Registry, the partygoers who found themselves fictionalized in the novels of F. Scott Fitzgerald, the descendants of the robber barons of the Gilded Age. But all that partying brought on a painful hangover: the stock market crash of October 29, 1929, and the ten years of economic downturn that followed.

I'm a huge film watcher and I should have bought some stock in Hollywood Video because I am always there renting and taking back flicks for my high definition tv.

One day after finishing my latest rental, I was channel surfing and I found some HD channels I didn't even realize I had. One of these was part of th... more...
