Renaissance 2.0
It might not be a great movie but I LOVE “Desperately Seeking Susan” (1985)! I think it’s because it’s part of my youth and I really liked this new music artist named Madonna who was so fascinating back then. It wasn’t just her looks and unique sense of fashion and her catchy hook-laden music and…
This is such a moving song with a powerful message. Despite the lyrics describing making a difference with your own two hands the true message is that if enough of us get involved we can change the world. Simply beautiful. "With My Own Two Hands" (feat. Ben Harper) I can change the world With…
I was mesmerized by this song “BROKEN” by Lifehouse during a Fox promo for upcoming TV shows. I’ve always been a fan of Lifehouse and I know this isn’t a new song because I’ve heard it before but for some reason it got to me in a special way tonight. The music, the words and…
“Prelude to a Kiss (1992)” is one of the most underrated movies ever. I love it for many reasons. Alec Baldwin and Meg Ryan were absolutely fabulous in it. The dialogue is incredibly witty and so realistic. I love the way they fell in love right before our very eyes. Too many movies never show…

His most well known episode being “Nightmare…
It’s a beautiful summer day in Atlanta as the kids swim with their cousins Diona and Collin. These are wonderful memories they’ll have forever. So will I.

“Creator” (1985) starring Vincent Spano, Peter O’Toole, Virginia Madsen and Mariel Hemingway is a delightful romantic comedy that had a most interesting premise. It centered around a mad scientist (O’Toole) who tries to re-create his late wife via cloning. Yes, it was way ahead of its time. Yes, it was a crazy idea because he…
I really liked “Little Darlings” starring Kirsty McNichol and Tatum O’Neal and a young Matt Dillon (15?). It’s a fun coming of age tale centered around a serious subject matter, virginity. Basically, it’s about a rich girl and poor girl who make a bet to see who could lose their virginity first while at camp….
Despite all personal flaws, Frank Lloyd Wright was an amazing architect and fascinating person. I love his unique, original works that took architecture to the next level. He was an artist with a most original pallet. By far, my favorite design was his signature creation, “Falling Water”. Here’s a brief tour of this incredible masterpiece
