New Audio Adventure
I'm pleased to announce that I've just made a deal to have an audio book done of my first novel, Shh! It's a Secret: a novel about Aliens, Hollywood, and the Bartender's Guide. I'm hoping it will be available this summer.
This is only the second time I've ventured into this area, following the audio book version of Father of the Bride of Frankenstein. Personally I'm old school and like to read actu Read more of this blog post »

| Scott Turow's novels a beautiful written and compelling narratives. Here he brings back the protagonist from "Presumed Innocent," his first novel, to defend his fiancee's son who is charged with murder. If you're a fan, you won't be disappointed. ...more | |

Can Your Heart Stand the Shocking Facts? by Dr. Brentwood Masterling, M.F.A., D.V.M., Ph. D.: A Deep Dive into an American Masterpiece, Edward D. Wood, Jr.'s Plan 9 from Outer Space:
"I've never been into "Plan 9 from Outer Space." I saw it once, and that was enough for me.
However, "Can Your Heart Stand the Shocking Facts?" is still a lot of fun and made me laugh. It is not just the ineptitude of "Plan 9" but also a send up of mov" Read more of this review » |

"As a fellow film critic who detests the navel-gazing of other critics, cineastes, and academicians who ascribe the world to the most minor aspects in works of art, I applaud Daniel M. Kimmel's taking the mickey out of such types with his "Plan 9 From"

Can Your Heart Stand the Shocking Facts? by Dr. Brentwood Masterling, M.F.A., D.V.M., Ph. D.: A Deep Dive into an American Masterpiece, Edward D. Wood, Jr.'s Plan 9 from Outer Space:
"This is a short but very amusing parody of film criticism using Plan 9 From Outer Space, one of the great and undisputed classics of American cinema, as a launch board. Kimmel adopts the persona of Dr. Brentwood Masterling, M.F.A., D.V.M., Ph.D., who"

| Scalzi is always worth reading but this is definitely a lighter effort, written as we were coming out of the pandemic (as he explains in the afterword). It's a concept that he has developed in detail but relies way to much on plot contrivances and co ...more | |

| From the silent era to "Cats" (2019), Robey takes us behind the scenes of some of the biggest flops in Hollywood history. He notes that some of them are worth seeing while others are out and out disasters. I'd seen nearly all of them and don't agree ...more | |

For the record, "Isn't It Romantic?" is little more than an elaborate greeting card version of the coffee table book "Love Stories." Even though I also edited a workbook for the Federation of Jewish Men's Clubs, I consider my official book count as "four." :)
rob schneider...you have my condolences, danieland, damn dude, how many books have you written?
stop slacking off, will you?
; )
Not "were." Still am. It means giving up your freedom of choice. I can still see what movies I want to see, but it's been a long time since I've had much control over having to watch the movies I don't want to see. Shlock horror, kiddie films, movies with Adam Sandler or Rob Schneider, I pretty much see almost everything. (Stuff does slip through the cracks, but only because I'm not reviewing it.)
So.. you were a film critic. What is it like?
