The dialogue here is still under construction.

If you're interested in peering into the future a bit on the subject of political economy with respect to China's exponential growth and how it will affect America, check out my newest book:
 
CHINA---How Its Progress Will Affect America & The World Economy
 
ON THE SUBJECT OF SCREEN WRITING:

When it comes to writing scripts, the words can flow out of my mind, off my tongue, and on the page like rain from heaven. When it comes to writing about me, I sometimes get writer's block. Bare with me.

I was doing after losing
39 lbs. and 10" from my waist.

What happened to this guy?

This picture was only four years ago at the ripe young age of 49. I was in the best shape of my life. What happened since then, I'm considering making it the topic of my next book project. I have gained 20 pounds since this picture. Someone needs to make an inspirational movie on getting in shape.

Here's a list of some of my favorite movies from childhood to the present:



It's A Wonderful Life (the entire movie)

Mr. Smith Goes To Washington (the entire movie)

Old Yeller (sentimental)

Hercules (child infatuation w/ manhood; I loved Steve Reeves & Mark Forest)

Spartacus (the entire movie; Douglas was fantastic)

The Greatest Story Ever Told (Max Von Syndow; the best blue-eyed Jesus to play the part) 

Brother, Sun, Sister, Moon (A really good Franco Zefrelli film of St. Francis)

Shennendoah (Can you tell I like Jimmy Stewart films?; this is a classic)

The Ten Commandments (For it's time, a very powerful movie) 

Lonesome Dove (Really enjoyed it; I love westerns and I love Robert Duvall)

Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid (one of the coolest westerns made)

Rush Hour (both movies, very funny; I saw it while evacuating for a hurricane)

A Knight's Tale (A great movie; highly enjoyable; I'm a sucker for medieval films)

Meet Joe Black (What made it was its incredibly written dialogue and Anthony Hopkins.)

Radio (I'm also a sucker for inspirational true story films)
 
Seabiscuit (Fantastic! Greatly made; another inspirational true story)

Mr. Holland's Opus (fantastic finale)

Raiders of The Lost Ark (greatly exciting and entertaining)

Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade (ditto)

Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom  (ditto)

Rocky (I through IV) (I love the sport of boxing)

Gladiator (If I liked Spartacus as a kid, you know why I picked this one)

The Abyss (some great scenes; especially the drowning/resurrection scene)
 
The Lord of The Rings (Return of the King, the greatest cinematography with special effects that served to satisfy your imagination rather than insult it.)

The Count of Monte Cristo (I loved the entire movie; in my top five films)

The Passion of The Christ (My favorite film; saw it twice; never gets worn out)

...to be continued\

Some of the above movies I selected not because of the movie itself, but because of specific scenes that were incredibly compelling and well-acted. Others, again, not because of the movie, but because of the amazing dialogue. Most, however, I liked everything about them.





Here's a list of some of my favorite secular music:
 
Music of Josh Groban, Mark Anthony, Pebo Bryson, Celine Dion, Michael Crawford, Luciano Pavarotti, to name a few. And I still get charged by listening to the Beatles, Credence Clearwater, and Led Zepplin. My favorite spiritual music is by Vineyard Music Group.
