Boy Meets Girl
Boy Meets Girl Just another “Boy Meets Girl” scene except this boy is James Gandolfini and this girl is Annabella Sciorra and the scene is from the 1993 movie Mr. Wonderful. I wrote about James Gandolfini the other day in his highly recognizable role of Tony Soprano. That said, Darlene A. McGarrity & […]

Khartoum One of the the best movie scenes ever. From The Godfather, one of the best movies ever. No words are necessary. Watch the 2-minute video below. I’m America’s Best Crime Writer – Barry Bowe – & I approve this message. My first book – Born to Be Wild – Published in 1992 – Still […]
James Gandolfini
James Gandolfini When the name James Gandolfini is mentioned, Tony Soprano flashes into most people’s minds from HBO’s smash hit series The Sopranos (86 episodes 1999-2007). That role as complex Mafia boss brought him worldwide fame and accolades for his acting prowess. I’m no exception. I loved Tony Soprano and The Sopranos. But between you […]

Columbo
Columbo “Just one more thing.” Columbo ran on TV from February 28, 1968 to January 30, 2003. That’s one helluva run for a bumbling detective who looks like a bum, is overly polite and always chomping on a cigar. But that’s one of the secrets to the show’s success. It’s all a disguise. Another secret […]

Jessica Fletcher I could’ve titled this post “Murder, She Wrote” but went with “Jessica Fletcher” instead. I could’ve categorized it as “TV Crime Show” “Character” “Hero” but went with “The Dead Stripper” instead. Why, you may be asking? Other than backhanded self-promotion, the answer is simple. Here’s how IMDB describes Murder, […]

Auric Goldfinger
Auric Goldfinger Here’s a very recognizable Movie Villain yet another name you might not recognize. German-born actor Gert Fröbe played Auric Goldfinger in the 1964 blockbuster Goldfinger. For the most part, the name Auric means “containing gold.” So it’s almost like author Ian Fleming was playing an inside joke by naming his character Gold […]

My Friend
My Friend I met My Friend in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. I was a hot-shot manager at the Holiday Spa and he was a wet-behind-the ears kid, just out of high school, who walked in off the street and told me, “You need to hire me.” I hired him on the spot and we’re still […]
