Primetime has been done before, not that there’s anything wrong with that. Most entertainment has been done before and it’s the manner in how it is presented that balances the fine line between good s...

Welcome David Lynch. You’re here to stay.  Blue Velvet was the true birth of David Lynch, artist through filmmaking. Once this movie premiered, his unique offerings were set for decades to follow…some...
