The King of Soul - The Story of Sam Cooke

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Filmmaker, Scott McCullough (The Exorcism Diaries, Prince Unauthorized) is working on a script in association with U.S. based Producers, Silver Lining Pictures, according to the filmmaker and industry sources. "Born by the River-The Story of Sam Cooke" is the story of a man affectionately referred to as "The King of Soul" and one of the fore founders of soul music. Known for his unique voice, meaningful lyrics and wide influence of today's world of music. Cooke, authored songs such as "You Send Me", "A Change Is Gonna Come", "Chain Gang" and "Wonderful World" among his most influential hits. The former gospel artist turned pop-icon died after being shot in a Los Angeles motel in 1964.

Stallone, "Bullets are easy , emotions are hard"

I like two types of films, action and westerns, both with guns, balls and beautiful women. Bullets and blood are exactly how Sly closed out his infamous Rambo franchise and as a director he has learned a vital ingredient in filmmaking-to surround oneself with the finest in the trade that can compliment the grittiness and violence his more recent films are known for.

Quantum Leap Thinking

You Don't Have to Do It Alone

How many wonderful ideas have never been put out in world because their creator was afraid of appearing foolish? How many people have stifled their creativity because of fear? How many of you have never allowed your creative vision to become reality for fear of asking for help or creating a partnership? Far too many, I'm afraid.

Standin' On The Corner Park - Festival 2010

WINSLOW, Ariz. - Jackson Browne may have made bundles of cash on his hit song, "Take It Easy" and his famous lyrics, "Standin' On A Corner In Winslow, Arizona"; as for life in this small town there's a dedicated few who made a few things possible, in order to bring life back to this once booming 'Route 66' town.

EPA Denies Petition Calling For Lead Ammunition Ban

Many people have been following developments regarding the petition submitted Aug. 3 to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by the Center for Biological Diversity, American Bird Conservancy and three other groups, seeking a national ban on lead ammunition and fishing tackle. The following is an update.

Arizona Fishing Report Sept. 1

With dove season being open (Sept. 1), it's a good time for a cast-n-blast trip, especially along the lower Colorado River.

Yuma has the prime dove hunting with all of its agricultural fields. During the past two weeks, however, I witnessed lots of doves all along the Colorado River from the Topock Gorge to Yuma (and also lots of fat quail for October fin and feather trips).

Tucson Spanish and Flamenco Festival

2nd Annual Spanish and Flamenco Festival in historic downtown Tucson. This is a unique opportunity to experience flamenco and Spanish culture in a traditional late-night, outdoor festival atmosphere. Traditional Spanish tapas will be served along with Casa Vicente's extensive dinner menu.


Susan Granger Reviews


The American. Self-Consciously Somber

Usually, when the only critics screening of a star-driven spy thriller is just two days before opening, it's an indication that there's a problem. And there is. This is not an action movie, and it's certainly not a conventional thriller. Not that it isn't intriguing. It is - if you're into meditative, minimalist, non-commercial, European-style filmmaking.

Harvey Critic


THE AMERICAN, Grade: C

It's chic for a movie critic to say that "the book is better," but in this case-considering that the story is a slow-moving psychological suspense thriller-Martin Booth's 1990 novel is the way to go. As you turn the pages you will doubtless wonder what comes next, the type of tale that intrigues on the page but comes across inert on the big screen. As directed by Anton Corbijn, "The American" is spare of dialogue (script by Rowan Joffe and the novelist), the music by Herbert Grönemeyer either non-existent or anything but intrusive, with a landscape in Italy's Abruzzo region that's, what should we say, European? The medieval town built on a hill, scene of most of the action, would be nice to drive through but would hardly entice tourists to stay overnight. This is the sort of place, however, that a fellow in the service of assassins might want to live, a form of redemption that he would not likely find in his home country but rather as an expatriate living the quiet life away from what novelist Martin Booth calls "the shadow-dwellers."
