  • The Week In Reviews
    Award winning screenwriter Adrian Roman will direct the film and is also Producing along with Executive Producer Scott James and Associate Producer Abby Sensenbaugh. The screenplay is locked, and a website for the film is available for interested parties, including additional production partners and investors. Social Media is launching now. Composer Will Goss has signed on to write the original score.
     
    Scott James is quoted as saying, “We intend to attach A-list talent for the leads, but also, in a strategy to assure profitability, we are reaching out to social media influencers with millions of followers for smaller roles.” Writer/director Adrian Roman adds, “In writing the screenplay, I wanted to tap into the popular horror genre, but also tell a story that is unique. There have been successful horror/comedies in the past such as 'American Werewolf in London' and 'Beetlejuice,' and 'The Tome' lands somewhere in between those two. The script has a strong female lead, who is a sassy, confident person, but who also shows a wide range of emotions. We are looking for a known, highly talented woman who is twenty-five to thirty years old. Several names have come up but we are on a national search for her and we're seeing who rises to the top. This is the kind of role that would be a 'Pretty Woman' moment for the right actress.”

    Another school shooting, that makes 22 this year. Not all were mass killings but there certainly were 22 ‘events’ with guns. This is getting boring, the same old arguments will be dragged out, politicians will huff and puff and do exactly nothing.
    Kelly Anne Conway, does the silly woman ever even listen to the questions she is asked?
    The Royal Wedding, is this the beginning of a big change in the british Monarchy?

  • The Week In Reviews - Nemo James
    Singer songwriter Nemo James has just released a new album, Weave. It is a delightful piece of work.
    From the press release"
    40 years ago Nemo James, singer songwriter and author of the autobiography “Just a Few Seconds” sat in front of a record company executive playing his latest compositions. He was told the songs were very good but there was no market for his James Taylor style of music. Fast forward four decades and James Taylor is still recording and selling out concerts while all the other music fads have come and gone.

  • The Week In Reviews - Thunderbird
    Canadian hard rockers Thunderbird are releasing their anticipated self-titled third album on Delinquent Records on April 25, 2018! “Thunderbird” was recorded in Vancouver BC, produced by Marc LaFrance and Kelly Stodola and mixed by famed engineer Mike Fraser.
     
    Says lead singer & producer Marc LaFrance, “The album is like a collection of short stories. I am singing the songs as different characters, or telling their tales. A gallery of rogues from the dark side!”
     
    Musically, the songs are inspired by classic hard rock. Heavy guitars, blistering solos, driving rhythms.

    I really don't know where to start. The revolving door at the Whie House has had another busy week. In the 80's I worked for the largest Oil company in Canada, Fridays were the layoff day of the week. The joke was, if your name plate on your door was there Fiday morning, you were safe for another week!
    After a teribble start one wonders if Rudy G can beat The Mooch in longevity. I think rudy is on day 4, so another full week and Mooch's record is safe
