Best Documentary Film - Revolucion

OK, this may not be the best Documentary Film ever, but it was the only one I was involved in sufficient to get my name in the Credits. It is called Revolucion and you can click the title or go to http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/revolucion/credits.html. It is about Cuban photographers, some of whom documented the Cuban Revolution and is actually quite interesting. Most significantly, the executive producers had excellent legal counsel, namely, me. It aired on PBS and other places.

Worst Shows on TV/Cable - Jersey Shore and the Kardashians

I need to mention some shows which are so overrated and, despite having many viewers, makes me question the taste, education, morality and/or amount of free time of the viewers as well as the greed of the network and other entertainment executives who air such trash at all.

Some of My Favorite Books

Here are some be of my "all time favorite books and some thoughts about each.

Anna Karenina  by Leo Tolstoy. This book, set in Tsarist Russia, is the definitive commentary on male-female relationships. All types, for all different reasons. Despite the geographic and temporal differences, the compromises we make as well as the passions we all seek are brilliantly set forth. While I prefer non-fiction to fiction, and modern to older books, this book had me addicted like an addict to the pipe.

Skins - In Memorium

Skins was one of the freshest and best new shows aired on cable. It was another example of MTV's cutting edge programming. It only made it one season before being "yanked" due to censorship pressures which were totally undeserved from a secretive and mysterious organization which is very suspect.

Flashpoint - A hidden gem on ION Cable

Flashpoint is a cable TV show which I discovered which is fresh, stimulating and not well known (unfortunately). It ranks among the best. The plot is intense, and each episode is still current, new, and unique. The plots are intense, and there is never a moment of boredom or predictability.
