Das Boot (1981) – Doing a bit of background research for the prologue chapter of my novelization of Nazi Sharks (oh, didn’t you know that’s a thing?), so I grabbed this highly regarded wartime drama of life inside a WWII U-boat from the library. Didn’t realize that it was originally a made-for-German-TV miniseries, so when…

One sketch from my sketchbook… …and the rest of what I posted were for sale to raise money for my daughter Sariah’s Broadway trip. The sketches that didn’t sell immediately when I posted them on Facebook are available for $20 each at my Etsy store.

Star Trek Beyond (2016) – I sort of enjoyed the first reboot Star Trek movie, as long as I remembered that the character which was labeled “James Kirk” was entirely unrelated to the Jim Kirk I had grown up with.  And I never bothered to see Into Darkness — I had no desire to support…

Here are six sketches I posted this week (I didn’t post one on Easter), all put up for sale for my daughter’s Broadway trip fundraiser.  Available on Etsy here.

Only one not-for-sale sketch from my sketchbook this week (I try not to post things for filthy lucre on Sunday)… …and the rest of what I posted were for sale to raise money for my daughter Sariah’s Broadway trip. The sketches that didn’t sell immediately when I posted them on Facebook are available for $20…

As has been my habit of late, a few of the sketches were straight from my sketchbook… …and the rest of what I posted were for sale to raise money for my daughter Sariah’s Broadway trip. The sketches that didn’t sell immediately when I posted them on Facebook are available for $20 each at my…

A Long Ride From Hell (1968) – It was filmed in Italy (by an Italian director with a largely Italian cast) in the late ’60s, so it’s very much a technical spaghetti Western, but everything from the star to the costumes to the script (based on an American novel) seems like a throwback to pre-Fistful…

Atragon (1963) – It’s like a kaiju movie without the kaiju (mostly), as befits a movie directed by Ishiro Honda and scored by Akira Ifukube.  Agents from the Mu Empire, the Pacific version of Atlantis that sank beneath the waves 10,000 years ago (and whose inhabitants are genetically indistinguishable from modern Japanese), are preparing for…
