Biography by Hal Erickson Canton-born James Wong Howe was one of the few Hollywood cinematographers whom the average movie fan knew by name. Arriving in America with his family at age five, Howe settled in Washington state. At 11, he was given a cheap brownie camera as payment for doing odd jobs for a local druggist. After World War I service and a desultory career as a prizefighter, he went to work as a handyman for the Famous Players-Lasky studio in Hollywood, shooting still pictures of various costume tests just for the experience. While taking a photo of film star Mary Miles Minter , Howe hit upon a method of making her blue eyes photograph darker;

Extractions: James Cameron has always been one of my favorite directors. The Terminator and Aliens were two of my favorites growing up. These are not movies young people should be seeing, but of course I saw them anyways. I remember I begged my Mom to watch Aliens when it first showed up on HBO. I couldn't sleep for two nights, that movie scared me so bad. The Terminator didn't really scared me, I just loved the action. These are two of the few movies that have held up for me throughout the years. I still love them, still among my favorites. The Abyss . is also a very good movie. Again good action, there's a lot of heart in this film and there is a good message about dealing with the unknown. He is an incredible action director. Terminator 2 really sealed that for me. At the time, and for a few years afterwards it was my favorite movie. I loved the continuation of the story, and the f/x were groud breaking. True Lies is probably my least favorite of his films. Arnold playing James Bond. The action is fun, but somehow a little less believable than his past films, and for some reason that bothers me. Also how he manipulates his wife doesn't agree with me. Still I will watch this film, at any time.

Biography by Nathan Southern The top-tiered action director of his generation, as well as one of the most allegedly demanding and difficult, James Cameron reshaped 1980s and '90s Hollywood with a string of lucrative multimillion-dollar films remarkable for their marriage of technical wizardry and human sentiment. Cameron 's 1997 blockbuster Titanic exemplified this union of elements, as one of the highest grossing motion pictures in the history of the medium. It also netted its director a dazzling array of international awards, including the 1997 Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director.
Extractions: Other Reviews Have Comments? M ade in 1993 with the help of grants from the Austrian Department of Education and Art, and the County of Upper Austria, this film received limited theatrical release in the U.S. five years later and subsequent video sales due to the popularity of the 1997 Hollywood release of "L.A. Confidential"which not only made up-and-comers of stars Russell Crowe and Guy Pearce, but brought the man whose books inspired it to a deservedly larger circle of readers. James Ellroy updated the classic Raymond Chandler noir in the 1980s, first with a collection of thrillers about cops and serial killers (and serial killer cops!), then through a series of four related novels set in Los Angeles between 1947 and 1959, and informally known as "the LA quartet": The Black Dahlia The Big Nowhere LA Confidential , and White Jazz . Dark, gritty, violent, profane, and bewilderingly complicated, the books "are about obsession," Ellroy says. "I want to put as much densely packed social history into a series of novels as the farthest reaches of my brain and soul can encompass."
The Poetry Of James Kavanaugh A page dedicated to the work of James Kavanaugh with excerpts from several of his books. http://www.celestineview.com/kavanaugh.htm
Extractions: "America's Poet" James Kavanaugh for me is an inspiration. I grew up in a Catholic family and can understand how hard it must have been fo r him to leave the Priesthood and then to speak so contrary to basic Catholic tenants. Still he did so following one guiding principal. If there is one person you must be truthful with it is yourself. I wrote my first poetry after being inspired by Laughing Down Lonely Canyons and found a great deal of Inspiration in There are Men too Gentle to Live Among Wolves I have enjoyed everything I have ever read by James Kavanaugh and I feel anyone who enjoyed the work of James Redfield in the Celestine Prophecy books would as well. I have included several of Mr. Kavanaugh's poems here along with exerts from the preface from Too Gentle to Live Among Wolves . I think you will see the First Insight and a few more without looking too hard. Also be sure to read my review of Books by James Kavanaugh "I will probably be a searcher until I die and hopefully death itself will only be another adventure. To live any other way seems impossible. If anything has changed over the years, and it has, I only feel more confident now about what I wrote then. I am far more aware of the power that guides each of us along the way, and provides us with the insights and people we need for our journey. There are, indeed, men and women too gentle to live among wolves and only when joined with them will life offer the searcher, step by step, all that is good and beautiful. Life becomes not a confused struggle or pointless pain, but an evolving mosaic masterpiece of the person we were destined to become."
Extractions: Richmond, Virginia Occupation Author Genres Fantasy fiction James Branch Cabell , pronounced /ˈkæbəl/ (April 14, 1879 – May 5, 1958) was an American author of fantasy fiction and belles lettres . Cabell was well regarded by his contemporaries, including H. L. Mencken and Sinclair Lewis . His works were considered escapist and fit well in the culture of the 1920s, when his works were most popular. For Cabell, veracity was "the one unpardonable sin, not merely against art, but against human welfare." Interest in Cabell declined in the 1930s, a decline that has been attributed in part to his failure to move out of his fantasy niche. Alfred Kazin said that "Cabell and Hitler did not inhabit the same universe". Although escapist, Cabell's works are ironic and satirical. H. L. Mencken disputes Cabell's claim to romanticism, characterized him as "really the most aciduous of all the anti-romantics. His gaudy heroes... chase dragons precisely as stockbrockers play golf." Cabell saw art as an escape from life, but once the artist creates his ideal world, he finds that it is made up of the same elements that make the real one. Cabell was born into an affluent and well-connected Virginian family, and lived most of his life in

Extractions: Would you like to login? Find by Author/Title Author Title James Welch A poet and novelist of Blackfoot-Gros Ventre heritage, Welch was one of the most important and accomplished Native American writers of the post-1968 generation. His first three books were published in the Harper and Row Native American Publishing Program and his third novel, Fools Crow , won the Los Angeles Times Award for Fiction for 1986. His book, Killing Custer , was a nonfiction treatment of the Battle of the Little Bighorn as viewed from the Indian perspective. My first poetry class from Hugo was a graduate-level seminar. Most of the other dozen students were older, some were married, some had had careers, others were at loose ends. I was one of the latter. After an undistinguished career as an undergraduate, I was accepted into graduate school (on probation) simply because I was a warm body and the fledgling program needed bodies to fill chairs. It didn't take me long to realize that I was in way over my head. I discovered I didn't know how to write the kinds of poems my classmates wrote. Up to then, my poems had rhymed and were filled with majestic mountains and wheeling gulls. I didn't know the poets they referred to. When Hugo, to provide an example, asked me to look up a poem by Yeats, I wrote "Look up Yates" in my notebook. Finally, out of desperation, Hugo called me into his office and told me to close the door. He told me to sit down, and I knew and dreaded what was coming. "You don't know anything about poems, do you?" I sat for a moment trying to think up a defense for my sorry attempts in class, but nothing came to me, so I said, "No." To my surprise, Hugo said, "That's okay. What

He later joined a traveling wagon show as an advance agent. Riley returned to Greenfield and worked for the town`s newspaper. Riley joined the staff of the Anderson Democrat as associate editor Approx 1877 Frustrated at his poems being rejected by eastern periodicals (Though he was able to publish throughout central Indiana), Riley embarked upon a scheme to prove that for a poem to become popular it had to be written by "a genius known to fame." He wrote a poem, Leonainie , styled after Edgar Allan Poe, and convinced the editor of the Kokomo Dispatch to print it in his newspaper as a long-lost Poe poem. Unmasked as the poem`s true author, Riley was lambasted by rival newspapers and eventually fired from his Anderson job. Approx 1878 Under the name “Benj. F. Johnson of Boone” he began to write verse in the Hoosier dialect for the
