    4 Monologues I Love

    The art of the monologue — hard to write — damn hard (and impressive) for actors to pull off.  I have a few tough ones in HOW DO YOU WRITE  A JOE SCHERMANN SONG that I’m proud of how Mark DiConzo and Christina Rose perform them. These 4 stick out in my mind as ones I’ll never forget growing up as a kid. Hand picked from when I first saw them in the 80s/90s. Alec Baldwin “I am God” in [...]

    Carnahan Rules

    Joe Carnahan’s THE GREY was my top film of last year.  Recently there’s been a great interview series with him that is fascinating and inspiring. I met him at the NAPA VALLEY FILM FESTIVAL and he was gracious and genuine. He took the time to hang out for a few minutes to share his stories from the trenches. His career path is nothing short of inspirational.

    My Top 5 Movie Musicals

    ON THE TOWN (1949) (dirs. Stanley Donen, Gene Kelly) This is my go-to musical when I need a pick me up. There’s something magical about the New York City that those sailors experience…an innocence and yet I still recognize it when I walk through the subways today. And nothing beats the “Miss Turnstiles Ballet” sequence…simply breathtaking. SINGIN IN THE RAIN (1952) (dirs. Stanley Donen, Gene Kelly) A pure classic. When Gene Kelly pitches GOTTA DANCE to the studios and we [...]
