Nash Bridges 2009-01-10 12:45:00 Nash Bridges
is back on television. Thank you WGN America! I have not seen this show since the 90’s, and am now able to DVR episodes and watch on a regular basis. I remember being full of anticipation and rushing home in time for the premiere episode. Turning on my television just in time, the first scene held my attention and I was impressed with the opening sequence. San Francisco is a beautif
Sad News 2009-01-04 10:20:00 I am sad to learn that 16-year old Jett Travolta, son of actor John Travolta and actress Kelly Preston, has passed away. I know it is extremely difficult for a parent to bury his or her child. I pray this family receives all the support it needs at this very difficult time.I am not a parent, but as a teacher I have raised at least one thousand young people. I cannot imagine any of them dying be
All Things Are Possible 2008-12-29 18:43:00 Hanukkah and Christmas may be over for this year, but one can still maintain a commitment to hope. Right now many people are doing this by making new years’ resolutions. By setting goals we strengthen our hope because that shows we have faith in it. This is the way to extend the season of miracles throughout the year.I even need to remind myself of this and approach every day as a new one wit Read more:Possible
Slumdog Millionaire 2008-12-10 22:28:00 I saw the movie SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE last night. I thought it was a fun story. Everyone who worked on this movie did a great job.SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE is a very unique film, and is particularly refreshing because it has a mostly Indian cast and was made in India. The story is about two brothers, “Jamal” and “Salim,” who live in the slums of Mumbai. One day a group of men raid their community, Read more:Millionaire
The Visitor 2008-12-10 22:08:00 THE VISITOR is a movie I saw during the summer that I thought was awesome. I have recently learned that 2009 Academy Award nomination predictions are being made for actors Richard Jenkins and Hiam Abbass. This is good news because both performances were fascinating.THE VISITOR is about a widowed college professor (Richard Jenkins) in Connecticut who is told to attend and speak at a conference in N Read more:Visitor
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 2008-12-04 20:35:00 Last night I attended a VIP screening of THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON, starring the very talented Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, along with remarkable performances by Julia Ormond and Taraji P. Henson. I really liked this movie and recommend it, so I will not give too much away. The diversity and realism of the well written, multi-dimensional characters certainly captivated me.THE CURIOUS Read more:Benjamin

The Two Sisters 2008-11-22 18:29:00 Some friends and people who meet me are surprised I wrote THE TWO SISTERS because they think it is dark. Just today I told someone that my book, GROWING PAINS – 10 short stories about growing up, is totally different from THE TWO SISTERS, so I guess I am just versatile. Storytelling of any kind has always fascinated me; I was the kid in school who loved when the teacher read to the class. I gues Read more:Sisters

the 13th: The Series – The Second Season on February 10, 2009 (the First Season was released on September 23rd).

What Just Happened 2008-11-10 11:24:00 Yesterday I saw the movie, WHAT JUST HAPPENED, starring Robert De Niro, and liked it. It showed a few days in the life of a Hollywood producer (De Niro). Robert De Niro’s performance was superb, and probably the reason why I enjoyed this movie, which is based on a book, about the film industry.De Niro’s character produced a movie starring Sean Penn, and the studio disliked the ending.
