Nevada Smith and the Secret Treasure Part 1
Nevada Smith was a film starring Steve McQueen from 1966. I imagine that is where Steven Speilberg and/or George Lucas got the inspiration for the name, Indiana Jones. However, with respect to Steve McQueen and/or Harold Robbins, I would like to tell a story about him. You can consider it

Men and Women are Different

My History His History
I have been writing screenplays since the late 1990s. I was inspired when I became tired and bored with the movies that were out there. I decided to write and imagine one I wanted to see and that would thrill me. My early attempts were modest to say the least.

The Truth About Cows

This demonstrating has left several people dead [Actually, police officer Sinknick was reported to have been killed by the protesters but he was not]. I, like everyone, have found this abhorrent and unnecessary. No one wants anyone to

Frankenstein
I started watching the new Penny Dreadful: City of Angels series on Showtime. I have only seen one episode so far. The great actor, Rory Kinnear played Frankenstein’s monster in the original Penny Dreadful and is seemingly playing a different role in the new one. Rory Kinnear’s Frankenstein inspired me

The Fine Corinthian Leather
Ricardo Montalbon was, in my humble opinion, a great man. Despite years of playing a latin lover in many films, he was married to one woman for 53 years. He was a real actor playing roles as diverse as Khan in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, Mr. Rourke on

Tia Carrere and Heavenly Expectations
Sometimes, I think back to high school and my experiences talking about God. Of course, no one is allowed to talk about God in public school, are they? Well as we all know, what is allowed and what happens are often two different things. I remember one experience in particular
