The Odd Movie....'Rebecca.'
HITCHCOCK made very odd, unique movies. They were heavily-laden with plenty of bizarre twists. A favorite of mine is the weird 1940 cinematic gem called 'Rebecca.' This thing has lots of psychology overload. Also, the performances by Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine are stunning. It is a good film to really savor.

Ebert....A Man of Film and its Multi-Faceted Fabrics...Etc..
POWERHOUSE GENIUS. That was Roger Ebert. I loved the intensity and the brave, remarkable passion the man had about his love for movies. His insights and thoughtfulness on the valid inner meanings of modern films totally energized me and continually got me ever more interested in the exciting panorama that is the cinematic world. Deep down, Roger Ebert always connected with the merry adventure that is newspapering. He was known to remark often that newspapers were his identity..

A Close Friend Exits
A CLOSE FRIEND of mine passed early today. He was a Vietnam War veteran and truly a passionate, wonderful human being. He loved good movies and enjoyed reading. Veterans like him are very special. He was a great man!
Roger Ebert
ROGER EBERT passed away today and the culture and film world has indeed lost a certainly wonderful, brilliant genius. The man had a truly uncanny way of bringing the grand magic of contemporary cinema alive. Reading his material brought us into the powerful workings of a soul with remarkable creative abilities and intense intellect. We will all miss so much the totally profound man of words, the one called Roger Ebert.

Nice Writing
THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy. He does not use too many adjectives. His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
