My interests are very simple. I love film history. I have studied film on my own since I was in high school. I was a member of the WINNIPEG FILM GROUP for a few years, but decided for personal reasons to resign my membership...but thats another story. I am also a collector of film scores. My collection has grown quite a bit in the last year or so. I think I will never stop loving film music, unless the composers of today keep using synth music like they are now. THE UNTOUCHABLES - cast of the new series.
I would have loved to have met Jerry Goldsmith. He is my favorite film composer of all time. Some of his best works include....STAR TREK-THE MOTION PICTURE, THE OMEN....his only Oscar win was for this score. THE SAND PEBBLES, PLANET OF THE APES, TOTAL RECALL, BAISC INSTINCT, HOOSIERS, RUDY, PATTON, just to name a few.
The Beach Boys, Brian Wilson, Steve Burns, Jerry Goldsmith, Matchbox 20, Paul Simon, Jim Croce, Oingo Boingo, Pet Shop Boys,Flaming Lips, and of course...Keane!
Star Wars...the Original Trilogy, The Right Stuff, The Untouchables, The Last Of The Mohicans, A Night At The Opera, Clerks, City Lights,The 40 Year Old Virgin, and anything by Kevin Smith! I am too big a movie fan to name all my favorites.
Babylon 5, Crusade, Battlestar Galactica...old and new, That 70's Show, Newsradio, 24, Arrested Development, The West Wing, Earth 2,Red Dwarf, Nowhere Man, Band of Brothers,The Untouchables (new series), From the Earth to the Moon...and of course, Doctor Who! The cast of BABYLON 5 - THE LOST TALES. Hopefully one day this Fantastic series will see the light of day on DVD!

Every man or woman that has ever stepped into any form of spaceship that has left the earth to explore the wonders of space. I always wanted to be a Astronaut when I was a kid. Nasa might be a huge mess right now, but at one time, they were giants!
