Leni Riefenstahl a Nazi Sympathizer?

Posted by BulletProofPoet on June 30, 2009 in The Rankled Poet

This week’s rant is on Leni Riefenstahl. Next week will most likely be on a movie. Without further delay: ____________________________________________________________________________ As much as I admire Leni Riefenstahl’s talent as an actor and director, there is no question that she’s guilty of being a Nazi sympathizer. There are mounds of evidence to support that, including she herself! [...]

What Is A Talented Writer?

Posted by BulletProofPoet on June 29, 2009 in Random Thoughts

Stephen King’s definition for talent in writing: “If you wrote something for which someone sent you a check, if you cashed the check and it didn’t bounce, and if you then paid the light bill with the money, I consider you talented.”

Poveglia Island: Send Off

Posted by BulletProofPoet on June 28, 2009 in Dan Geruss: Investigative Journalist

Dear friends: The past year has been most wonderful, but alas, I must leave you once more. This forthcoming journey into the unknown comes with not just fears alone, but hopeful prospects as well. This calling takes me to Poveglia Island near Venice, Italy, which has not been explored since 1922. Legend has it that this [...]

Posted by BulletProofPoet on June 25, 2009 in Creative Writing

In this third and final post in the We’re Not Borg series, I have included the opening scenes of a romantic comedy I am working on. Bear in mind this is a first, rough draft. The idea is to note how many emotions are evoked and what techniques are employed to do so. Among the [...]

Blindness

Posted by BulletProofPoet on June 21, 2009 in Movie Ratings & Reviews

I’ve done a favorable review of The Broken so now it’s time for a less favorable review; of Blindness. This movie was shabby pretty much start to finish, with no character development, not to mention shoddy cinematography, so taking issue with the ending is of less consequence. But I will. Let’s just say, for the [...]

Mother Lives!

Posted by BulletProofPoet on June 20, 2009 in Random Thoughts

Well, at least I know I have three readers. I have received a few emails with kind sympathies over the loss of my mother and the fact I raised my two brothers at a young age. This is based on my About page where I give the abbreviated version as to how I went on [...]

We’re Not Borg: P1

Posted by BulletProofPoet on June 20, 2009 in Creative Writing

I recently had a discussion with a director on the independent scene. I won’t mention names so as not to destroy his credibility, but I was appalled by his complete disregard with what is perhaps the most important aspect of film making; EMOTION!   Long story short, his argument was that all a director needs [...]

The Brøken

Posted by BulletProofPoet on June 15, 2009 in Movie Ratings & Reviews

I am usually a harsh critic of movies, but I have to tell you, I am really surprised at the low 5.8 rating this movie has at the IMDB . As far as this genre is concerned, it was actually one of the better horror flicks to arrive as of late.   I loved the cinematography, [...]
