Kevin Finnerty lives!
While on the surface it doesn’t seem like a lot happened here in the world of mafia madness, internally a major shit storm just blew over and a bright ray of sunshine has peaked the surface of Tony’s withered heart.
He didn’t do it. He didn’t sleep with her. Carmella’s love was [...]

There was a wrong way and a right way to make this movie. This was done the right way.
As far as the technical aspects of filming go–there was very little “drama” injected into the direction. The music was very low key until key events took place (the collision of each aircraft with each [...]

I’m making a prophetic prediction about this show: The Sopranos started in the head but it will end in the heart.
This episode, which mainly focused on Vito Spatafore being outed as a homosexual, came at an interesting time for me because I just watched Brokeback Mountain a couple days ago and was profoundly affected by [...]

I wrote the following eight years ago and I am reprinting it here because it is one of the most honest pieces I’ve ever written on spirituality.
In a game, the rules are all important, but life, as a whole, is not a game. Life is nothing yet it is everything. Life is a misrepresented metaphor [...]

I’m for love
and I’m for happiness.
And I’m for–if you dont like it
can’t you just let it pass?

There is nothing happy about this film. It’s very, very sad. But several things made me want to rent and watch this movie:

The screenplay was co-written by Larry McMurtry (the writer of Lonesome Dove [...]
