F. Gary Gray's LAW ABIDING CITIZEN "A man who loses everything is capable of anything."
This one looks amazing and it has a cool poster! I hope the plot twist lives up to the excitement of the trailer because I am stoked!!!! It also has two great quotes already from the trailer. One is in the title above and the other is at the end of the trailer just listen to what Gerard Butler says... Awesome!!! A Must See!

Boredom, Castlevania, and My Cool Mask ^_^
So waiting for a handful of film festivals to reject me because they don't like new or original ideas (Ha,Ha :P) I got a little bored. Being somewhat creative I got inspired when I saw two different masks online. One was a theater mask and the other was a digital image from the latest Castlevania video game. So I have just for fun posted some images of the almost finished mask. Enjoy.
FYI - I also made a sword... I WAS REALLY BORED!!!
BRAVO FORMER PRESIDENT, JIMMY CARTER
I just want to say that former President Jimmy Carter is right on the money when comes to the South Carolina Congressman's remark/shouting of "You Lie!" Even if it is not directly a racist remark (yeah, right!)it is called a lynch pin remark for people who are already scared and wanting an excuse to be racist. Also, the President of the United States deserves respect especially on the floors of Congress of which he served in the past and now stands as Commander and Chief.
President Obama may not be perfect but then who is? Politicians are suppose to be role models who show exemplary behavior but when they can't even respect each other then what are we to think of them?

KANYE, SERENA, MICHAEL JORDAN AND THE HEAVENS, TOO! (ouch)
I know that I wasn't suppose to be this talkative this September but I have to get this off my chest. First, let's look at the Spiritual side of current events. All last week astrologers were warning to the point of b!tching about this week's stars. According to them six planets were all going to oppose Uranus which is the planet of innovation and more importantly surprises. Adding fire to the mix is that one of those six planets is Mercury which is now in retrograde. Now if you have read this blog before you know that I am not a fan of this aspect but I have always encouraged people to learn from these retrograde periods. All that said... WHAT THE F@CK HAPPENED THIS WEEK?!?!
M.J. starts off dissing all his former sports colleagues and his own children (ouch)!!! Then Serena has a major breakdown on the courts. Yeah, it was a stupid call but when you are at the top of your profession there will always be idiots who want to take you down... The key is to not give them the chance or a moment of satisfaction. Finally, there's Kanye. He's done this before but being spoiled and feeling self-entitled can backfire. Taylor Swift is just a little White girl and when you take that moment away from her at the awards let's be real... She may not get that chance again. Remember that in this industry "Here today, gone tomorrow." is not as real as 'Here today, gone TODAY!" because things move very fast and your 15 minutes may just be 5 in the big scheme of things. Please Black Celebs hold it together not just for yourselves but your peeps, too!
Do you want to know what is really scary? All these celebs have some connection to Chicago. Having lived in Chicago in my youth I saw the dark side of that town and I know that being a celebrity in that area must be very stressful. Okay. Nothing is quite as bad as being poor and surrounded by wealth but there is always that potential to rise and for many of these celebs being at the top and maintaining must be taxing both mentally, physically, and spiritually. So for everyone reading this blog be mindful of some of the pressures that those in the spotlight have to face and give them a break. Maintaining a high profile life for all its benefits must suck at times so when you see these folks stop looking for an angle because the stars (both in the sky and on the ground) may have a surprise for you!

Guilty Pleasures of the Movie Kind ( NEW MOON & TRON LEGACY )
I am a little embarrassed that I want to see these films. One is a glorified vampire/werewolf chic-flick ( bite me... pun intended ) and the other reveals my Gore-like love of film (and my age ^_^ ). Oh well, life is what you make of it so enjoy those few guilty pleasures that aren't considered crimes. LOL. Bite me... hmmm... I like saying that!

President Obama's Words
"Let us renew our resolve against those who perpetrated this barbaric act and who plot against us still," Obama said. "In defense of our nation, we will never waver."

I'm going to be a little quiet this September
Hey Everyone!
I have made the decision to be a little quiet this month. I have to acknowledge certain events like 911 (which is always sad, somber, and should NEVER be forgotten) but other events will be kept hush because I don't want to add fuel to the "worry" flames.
On a good note, one of my actors got his first real TV experience on a set other than my own. He also got into a film that will premiere in Philadelphia so KUDOS to my buddy, E. Vincent Burrows. It is always the small steps that count the most in the BIG picture.
Finally, my Spiritual Anniversary (for those of you who have been following my blogs) is coming up and it just so happens to fall on Eid-al-Fitr which is the Muslim festival that end their fasting during Ramadan. I have a handful of acquaintances who are Muslim so I am contemplating spending sometime with them on that day... However, I more than likely will spend the day with a beer in one hand and a cigar in the other and hopefully some quiet time to myself... It is the simple things that mean the most.
Until I blog again, take care of those you love and live well.
