Name of movie from either encore westerns or the hallmark channel....?
...A sheriff gets amnesia at christmas time. I'm looking for the name of a movie for my grandpa. He watched it on either encore westerns or the hallmark channel. It is about a sheriff that goes on a job to get money for their kids' Christmas. Something happens and he gets amnesia. He said it's a real tear jerker.
What is your favorite movie about rock and roll?
This Is Spinal TapThe best, and for me, first mock documentary I’d ever seen. It’s all about Rock and Roll, even as a satire. The lines from that movie have been quoted more than any other non-Monty Python movie. “These go to 11” is probably the most famous. The fact that the actors ad libbed so much of it makes it even more amazing.Some folks might think picking a satire with a fake rock band isn’t the best movie to mention. But I’ve literally heard professional musicians mention this movie more than any other. I believe it was one of the band members from Great White who explained it best. He said music fans love the movie for the humor, but for actual musicians, the movie is bittersweet. It’s a reminder to them of what will happen when their popularity fades. Rob Reiner might have made it a funny, even silly movie in parts, but the overall story arc is all too familiar to many bands. They were playing massive arenas just a few years before. They come back in the mid-80s for another tour, and they’re lucky to get a gig playing at a county fair. Even there, the small ampitheatre isn’t even half full.It’s food for thought for anyone trying to really make it as a rock star, or any celebrity, really. Maybe there is something to that “fifteen minutes of fame” thing. Also, strange as it may sound, I actually like the Spinal Tap tunes. Several of them, anyway. When comedians write rock songs like this, I expect the silly lyrics, but I don’t expect the sound to actually work. These songs sound almost exactly like what would have been popular back in the early to mid-80s. Hellhole is actually pretty much along the lines of the hair band songs of the day. Sex Farm Woman hit the theme of most of the hair band songs of the day. But nothing better illustrates the rockers back in the day better than when Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest) writes a more classical-sounding, lovely piano instrumental and titles it, “Lick My Love Pump.”
Any recommendations for books?
Anything by Steve Berry is great. Or anything by Nelson de Mille. I also love Daniel Silva's Gabriel Allon books. There is also a great book called The Lost Van Gogh. The Rule of Four is excellent, too. ---- They're, Their, There - Three Different Words. Careful or you may wind up in my next novel. Pax - C
