Roy Cohn was more entertaining

Roy Cohn was way more entertaining than the new documentary about Roy Cohn.

He was a driving force in Sen. Joseph McCarthy’s hearings searching for communists in the government in the 1950s, the lawyer for both the Gambino and Genovese crime families and he was briefly engaged to Barbara Walters while being secretly gay. The dude also had a collection of toy frogs!

Yet the new documentary “Where’s My Roy Cohn?” is mostly interested in the New York lawyer’s work and friendship with Donald Trump (before Trump was president). Even the title is an old quote of Trump’s. While it makes sense that audiences would want to know more about this brash enigma and his connection to the future commander in chief, that’s also the most boring part of the movie.

Some fantastic tidbits are revealed in the otherwise straightforward film, though. If you’ve seen “Angels in America,” in which the Cohn character was a sleazy comic villain, you’d be surprised to find out that he was friends with Andy Warhol. But while we learn a few fun facts, we get no insight into them. Where’s my better Roy Cohn documentary?

Review: Animated ‘Chance’ takes on dog fighting with overly earnest yet well-intended spirit

The CG animated feature “Chance” is a well-intended but heavy-handed denunciation of the barbaric blood sport of dog fighting. The title character (voiced by Will Canon) is a dreamer of a pit bull, who believes in a canine god and a peaceful place where “Hatonas” (dogs) can live idyllic lives.... from latimes.com - Los Angeles Times http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-et-mn-mini-chance-review-20190403-story.html>

Convicted rapist killer strikes again after getting out of jail

A convicted rapist killer who strangled a teen in 1981 and was suspected of cutting out the eyes out of an earlier victim has been arrested on a new rape charge, six years after he got out of jail. Christopher “Crazy Chris” Aniades, 62, is being held on an attempted forcible rape charge after he allegedly attacked the victim, according to the city Department of Correction. He’s being held at the Eric. M Taylor Center in Queens on first degree attempted rape, according to the city Department of Correction website. His arrest on Aug. 2 was based on a warrant issued by the state’s Division of Parole. The NYPD and the state DOC said they couldn’t provide details on Aniades’ latest offense. Aniades, who was released on Aug. 20, 2013 after spending more than 30 years in jail, became a poster boy of the violent 1980s in New York, when homicides routinely reached 2,000 a year. He was sentenced to 25-years to life for abducting, raping and killing 19-year-old Doreen Vitale on Oct. 15 198...
