News

For those of you checking out the blog regularly I will be doing some updates and some movie reviews in the coming weeks.

One of my favorite actors is Bo Svenson who has appeared in such movies as Walking Tall, Inglorious Bastards, Inglorious Basterds, Heartbreak Ridge, The Great Waldo Pepper, and was a character actor on TV in the 60's doing westerns. But my favorite roll was his portayal of Ivan on Magnum P.I. Anyway, we wrote Mr. Svenson and asked for an interview but he politely declined. We want to take this time to thank him for taking the time to respond. We have asked several actors to comment but Bo was the only one to respond. Thanks Bo we understand and respect your decision.

If you haven't seen it yet, The Pacific has been released and is currently in series run on HBO. It is very much worth getting HBO just for the series. Well acted and to the book, it tells the story of Eugene Sledge, Robert Leckie, John Basilone and several other Marines and their exploits in the Pacific. This is not a saop opera. This is the true story of these Marines.

I have been reading Brothers in Arms: The true story of the 761st Tank Battalion. If you are reading this note you should be reading this book. Last year it was announced that Actor Morgan Freeman and Pro Athlete Kareem abdul-Jabbar were working a script for the movie. Nothing has come of this yet.

Thats the news..... :D
