In My Own Words:
I have varied musical tastes, from classical to some current hip-hop. I am so passionate about music that either I like something immensely or I hate it to an infinite degree. Mary J. Blige, Aretha Franklin, Barry White, Donna Summer, Barbara Streisand, and Nancy Wilson are, without a doubt, my favorite vocal performers. Dave Koz and David Sanborn are saxophonists extraordinaire!

Prince is a genius!
There is and there will never be but ONE Michael Jackson!
Sister Janet is a great dancer but her singing leaves a lot to be desired.
Long being an avid reader, I have a personal passion for biographies, personal essays, and thrillers. My favorite classic authors are H.G. Wells, Edgar Allan Poe, and Dr. Seuss! Contemporary favorites are Tananarive Due, Dean Koontz, and Michael Craft. Also, essayist Nathan McCall has no equal!

Producer Richard Perry can be credited with providing the ladies with their seminal album, one that they, unfortunately, were unable to duplicate in commercial and critical success.

Well, it should've gone to Washington for his breathtaking performance in this biopic from 2000. Washington captures the very essence of the different modes of "Hurricane" Carter, a man wrongly incarcerated for a crime that he didn't commit. Washington superbly displays the various sides of this most complex man: anger, defiance, reflection, intelligence, humility, and perseverance. As others have hypothesized, Denzel's win for "Training Day" was a reward for Academy oversights for earlier tremendous performances...and his work in "The Hurricane" ranks as one of his best. Besides the work of Washington, the film benefits from marvelous turns from co-star… Read more

The last movie that I thoroughly enjoyed featuring a large ensemble cast was "Traffic". Hey, wait a minute! Steven Soderberg directed that one, too! This man has a gift for bringing out the best in his performers, as well as crafting a film that is a feast for the senses. "Oceans 11" sounds good, looks good, and, if it were edible, I think it would "taste" good. All the actors are fantastic in their respective roles but I must tip my hat to an un-credited Don Cheadle with his Cockney accent, legendary Carl Reiner, and Andy Garcia who is classy yet effectively menacing as the casino owner robbed of his millions by Clooney and company. Julia Roberts makes… Read more
