About Me

I'm a 32 year old screenwriter and former police officer (of no small infamy I might add) living in the epicenter of the film industry...thats right, TN. When I'm not languishing in obscurity I'm doing the things that I do best, watching movies and writing down my endless list of ideas for screenplays.

My Interests

Movies, Art, Politics, World Affairs, Huge History buff and especially military history.The man, the myth, the legend.

I'd like to meet:

Like minded people who can reach down and give me a boost in this decidedly uncharitable industry. While I have only one finished script, I'd like my next project to be co-written, maybe help out someone else while getting my work out there....or I could just be lazy :) Either way I have a ton of blockbusters floating around in my brain and need someone to help me market them....(If your an agent theres a reason you just started sweating) I also have a great idea for a television series...wanna know? Just ask. I'd also like to meet locals. Just be nice and have an intellect higher then an old turnip. Also don't be crazy....I detest crazy. Also sadly I'll never get to meet my favorite actor of all time, William PowellYour results:

Music:

I have a diverse taste. I love the blues, especially acustic recordings from the 1930s and 40s. Some examples of my favorites blues artists are: John Lee Hooker Sonny Terry and Brownie Mghee Blind Willie Johnson Bukkha White Muddy WatersI could go on and on. I also have a soft spot for music from the 90s, Nirvana, STP, Soundgarden, The Refreshments, Pearl Jam, PUSA, The Screaming Trees.The more ecclectic artists I like are Leon Redbone, Portishead, The Doors, REM, Mother Love Bone, and Nick Drake.As you can see I'm just as happy listening to Classical and I am Classic Country to Frank Sinatra or Billie Holiday.....and lets not forget Grunge....and Polka (Ok that last one was a joke)

Movies:

I love everything from comedies to action/adventure. I will tell you my all time favs at a later date. Ok it's now later. In no particular order. Door to Door (William H Macy should win an Oscar for this.) Apocalypse Now, My Lifes In Turnaround, Insomnia (The Foreign version with Stellan Skarsgaard NOT the Al Pacino version) Floundering (A great underrated film) Blackhawk Down, Rodger Dodger, Clerks, A Better Place, Romeo is Bleeding, The Proffesional, One Good Cop ( The elevator scene is one of the most realistic fight scenes I've ever seen.) All the Zatoichi films, The Razors Edge (Bill Murrays only stab at true Drama.....I love this movie.) Serpico, Oxygen, Puddle Cruiser, Rushmore, Auto Focus, Solaris ( Didn't like the movie, but the Cinematography was amazing) Man on Fire (Both versions), Jeremiah Johnson, Kurt and Courtney, Out of Time, Saving Private Ryan, Schindlers List, The Hill, The Man Who Would be King, Halloween, Blazing Saddles, Any Charlie Chaplin film, In Like Flint, Our man Flint, The Young Lions, The Bounty, Super Troopers, Where Eagles Dare, We Were Soldiers, Final, Love Honour and Obey, Face, End all Wars, Twice Upon a Yesterday, Brother McMullen, She's The One, Beautiful Girls, Boondock Saints, Session 9, The long Goodbye, MASH, Serpent and the Rainbow, Rick, All the Presidents Men, Thirteen days, Amen, Dawn of the Dead, The Killers, Narc, American History X (Awesome film...Ed Norton gained 30 pounds of muscle for the role) This list could go on and on....I may add more later but that is just a sampling. Recent additions: If Lucy Fell-classic, but for some reason I missed it.

Television:

I'm a big Sci-Fi fan when it comes to television. I like Andromeda, X-Files, Millenium. I also love Adult Swim on the Cartoon Network. Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Venture Brothers, Sealab 2021, Futurama, The Family Guy, Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law. I also love the FX Networks recent crop of programs. The Shield, Rescue Me, and Nip/Tuck. Also lets not forget American Gothic, a great under rated show.

Books:

I'm a fan of James Lee Burke, anything about History, and I also love the Dragonlance series of books. David Drake is a great author. I also like Plato, Graham Greene, The Fletch series, the John D Macdonald series of books about Travis McGee, Stephen King, Rennie Airth, David Hunter (Local author and former Knoxville Policeman, loaded with true stories) I may add more when I think of them.
