3 Oscar-worthy performances
I'm pretty sure we can account for three of the best-male-actor nominees when the Academy Awards lists come out on Jan. 10.

Classically Trained: 'Sundays at Soka' a real jam
ALISO VIEJO — There was likely only one big traffic jam in this town Sunday, and it happened to be for a rush to hear the music.

Neighbor leaves cherished memories
My friend Mildred "Neale" Baltz died last month, just weeks shy of her 103rd birthday. Despite our 40-year age difference, we shared a lot in the nearly two decades that we were next-door neighbors. I wrote a story about Neale in 2005 — its...Tags: Entertainment, World War II (1939-1945), Entertainment Events, George Gershwin, The Herald-Mail

Horror movies: Halloween's sweet spot
