300!

Heaven Hi! 

Lets have a cup of coffee, make mine a red eye, extra decapitation, hold the plot.

Well, if you are looking for a profound and sophisticated historical dramatization of the battle of Thermopylae, then “300″ is probably not your cup of tea. I was dumbstruck by director Zack Snyder’s faithfulness to the images seen in the original graphic novel by Frank Miller. This film reads like a moving comic book, aimed to satisfy the 18-30 year old video game, bloodlust demographic. The heartbeat of 300 is humanities, 50% of the given circumstances revolve around the theme of good fighting to overcome evil.

King Leonidas, played with memorable conviction by actor Gerard Butler, inspires his men
to never retreat or surrender and die a glorious death in battle. 25% of the film is
comprised of sexuality, flesh galore and tons of homo-erotic tendencies.

WARNING: right wing republicans and evangelicals beware.The last 25% of the creative triangle is power, as seen in the political power struggles and hardcore battle scenes set to crunching guitar riffs.

If it’s a spear chucking, body piling, hyper erotic visual smorgasbord you’re after, then throw on a pair of speedo’s and a red cape and go see this video game…I mean movie.

If you would like to learn how to breakdown a movie with the creative triangle of human behavior then check out my book “Acting For Real” (PLUG).

Heaven Hi! 

Lets have a cup of coffee make mine a red eye with double foam on top, thank you very much.

Ho Ho Ho the Secret is out it was on Oprah ,and I experienced a series of “aha’s” and “oooh’s” like never before. but what is so secret about the Secret, I would love to hear from you what your take on the secret is, for one thing it was a great marketing story cha cheng. but what is it?


At first, what I learned from the “Secret” seemed kind of “metaphysical” to me. Is it the “missing link”? , it seemed too simple to be true, in my book Acting for Real (Plug) I write about life being simple but not easy, and how you can be the STAR IN YOUR LIFE. So duu in fact, I realized that it wasn’t metaphysical at all. It was actually “Quantum Physics” — the study of subatomic particles. the Law of Attraction. The simplest definition of this law is “like attracts like.” Right now you may be wondering what Quantum Physics has to do with the ” Secret” Well, the simple fact is — it has EVERYTHING to do with it! Quantum Physics explains how everything in our world comes to be. It shows how we are all in direct manipulation of our entire physical world. In other words, even though your life appears to you as if you are the victim of circumstances — in reality, you control virtually everything in your life! And because most people are not aware of this seemingly impossible fact, most people don’t know how really easy it is to Develop there script for success and get what they need. Once you realize “the illusion of reality” — and learn how to master it —You can be the STAR in your life .. you can acquire everything your heart desires! but there is always a but! just like life is simple but not easy It is simple in concept but practice is necessary. The “Secret” with out a doubt is No doubt, and It takes ACTION!. That’s the secret sauce to the “SECRET”

BE BOP!
