Last night I realized that apart from sharing my love of movies with my son, it was the same director that caused that first spark. I still remember my reaction to seeing Jaws all those years ago. To this day, as much as I love the ocean, I will go in no more than my knees. I just thought is was amazing; "Bruce" may have been a bad performer but was effective on me.
Flash forward to Jurassic Park coming out. I take a little boy to see this movie and watching his sense of amazement and wonder was just fantastic. Afterwards he said, that is what I am going to do. He even wrote Steven Spielberg, he received a letter back. Mr. Spielberg told him to listen to his mother and do well in school. He has, he is now in grad school, so an impression was made. He also still writes, acts, does standup and still wants to be an artist.
So why this blog: simple I love movies and want to talk about them. I will discuss my favorites, guilty pleasure and work my way thru the classics that I have never seen.
