I’m back from my hiatus. Didn’t know I was taking one, but there it is. I did.
Here is a video you will enjoy. This song came out something like 9 or 10 years ago, by American bluegrass band Nickel Creek. Saw them at the Greek Theatre, opening act for someone else, and was just floored [...]

I haven’t seen it in years, but I really liked “The Majestic” starring Jim Carrey. Since the film pretty much opens in

(now I can’t think of the word) screenwriting jam session, I was hooked at the start. Problem is, the producers want to render Peter Appleton’s (Carrey) script unrecognizable with ludicrous alterations. Appleton storms out, [...]

I suspect that this picturesque lighthouse has appeared in more than Message in a Bottle. According to my sources, it is one of three that show up in the film, along with Chicago Harbor Lighthouse and Pond Island, also in Maine.
I confess to not re-viewing this film lately. I couldn’t wait to see it when [...]

Have you heard the simile, “busier than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs”? That’s one of my favorites, and a good descriptor of my last week. Started off last weekend with my attendance—or should I be saying “appearance”—at the Duarte Festival of Authors. What a fun day! Not only did I [...]

I was saving this one as it’s kind of a gimme. Not many people HAVEN’T seen Forrest Gump, and the triumphant end to his cross-country marathon run. I’ve “borrowed” a still from the film, here. What a shot, eh?
So what did you think of Forrest Gump? I haven’t seen it in years, and I think [...]

When I remembered this setting, I immediately felt the same emotion that poured into me the first time I saw the film Pearl Harbor. This is an epic film, one that encompasses romance, history, tragedy. A picture that has something for everybody. It starts off slow, recounting the childhood friendship of the two male protags, [...]

This is amusing. As I was perusing movies that feature (no matter how small) lighthouses, I was delighted to see one of my very favorite movies on the list:  DOUBLE JEOPARDY with Ashley Judd and Tommy Lee Jones. Really a big favorite. There are many scenes in and around water, so I thought, sure, there [...]

[Point Arena's] original tower, razed after the 1906 earthquake, was first lit in 1870. The replacement, a 115 foot beacon that was placed into service in 1908, celebrated its centennial last year.
