Book Recommendation: Shambling Towards Hiroshima
Shambling Towards Hiroshima This is probably the most whacked-out book I have ever read. It is satirical in nature and focuses on WWII, Reptilian Creatures, and Hollywood. The main character, Syms Thorley, is thrust out of his B Hollywood movie and into a rubber suit meant to put the F in fear. If he succeeds

Movie/Documentary Recommendation: The Loving Story/Loving
Loving Story The life of Richard and Mildred Loving, both reluctant to be the face of interracial marriage, sort of mirrors how well this movie did in the Box Office. Let’s just say the gross total doesn’t cover its production costs as of today. I’m not sure why more people didn’t want to see it

Documentary Recommendation: Great Human Odyssey
Great Human Odyssey I learned how resilient and strong our Homo sapiens sapiens ancestors were after watching this. The rough terrain, unrelenting weather, and scarcity of food they endured and survived really make us the smartest bipedal animals in existence. I watched all the great peoples of the world with primitive hunting styles and ways

Book Recommendation: The Devil’s Guide to Hollywood
The Devil’s Guide to Hollywood Dare I say this recommendation might be reserved for bathroom reading? I say this because it is written in such a way that it could be read in short spans of time since much of this book is structured in easy compartmentalized sections throughout the chapters. Joe Eszterhas has written

Book Recommendation: The Dress Lodger
The Dress Lodger It’s been a long time since I was awed at a writer’s technique and word usage. The sentences seemed to jump off the page for me when I read The Dress Lodger. They got a lot of distance and hit my face each time as if they were saying, “read me, read

Book Recommendation: Not Dead & Not For Sale
Not Dead & Not For Sale Most of us know about the passing of STP frontman, Scott Weiland. It was plastered everywhere and anywhere especially in The United States. Groupies and fans mourned the loss of a great singer and song writer, but in the midst of it all let’s not forget all the havoc

Movie Recommendation: Contagion
Contagion I was away longer than I wanted because the circle thing in the picture below. It made sure to let me know it had invaded my body and then some. It knocked me down where I had to rest in bed and basically slept Thursday and Friday, got through work Saturday, and more rest

Books Recommendations about Writing
Book Recommendations about Writing I came across some books when I rearranged my shelves that might help writers improve their writing if you are up for the challenge. It dawned on me how much of this material is common sense and quite simple when you read it. The hardest part is translating it onto

Documentary Recommendations
It’s Time to Get Serious Again!!! You will get a sense of my interests as many of these are the same subject. While this list doesn’t even scratch the surface, these are the ones that stood the test of time. My apologies for not being able to format it properly, but I did not feel

Movie Recommendations
It’s Time to Laugh!!! Sneakers is a caper movie about five hackers. It has some slapstick comedy and is well-paced. My favorite character is the blind soundman played by David Straithairn. The car scene was priceless. Robert Redford and Ben Kingsley are good. Dan Aykroyd and Sidney Poitier give equal performances. Mary McDonnell does her

Please do not read if you are squeamish about this subject, but I encourage everyone to read this book for educational reasons. Explore on Amazon The author Gail A. Eisnitz provides an excellent case

Movie Recommendation: Life
Dane Dehaan portrays a convincing James Dean before his stardom in Hollywood. He is followed by a photographer working for Life magazine, Dennis Stock, who is played by Robert Pattinson. He joins Dean on an impromptu road trip back home where the relationship solidifies into trust and allows for the later snapping of the iconic
