Filmmaking
Filmmaking here with articles, tech, story and other stuff to learn, inspire and maybe piss you off as in "Why didn't I know that before!" Believe me, happens to me all day long. Always more to learn and strategize for greater success and Joy in this amazing filmmaking world. I enjoy action films but really good ones in what I like to call "Arthouse Action" which are films like "Die Hard", "Enemy of the State" and others with quick witted words coupled with quicker action. But make no mistake I prize and enjoy the Art of Cinema in many genres and eras.
Book Review: "The Devil's Chessboard"
An insightful book on the manipulations both necessary and self-serving of the man who would lead the CIA upon its creation. Dulles had a brother, John Foster Dulles, who was the secretary of state at the time. Together, with one hand in State and the other at the CIA, the Dulles brothers forged the Cold War direction of America in many ways. The book also outlines how Allen Dulles would protect his past clients at his old law firm, Sullivan and Cromwell. <br /><br />One of Dulles most notorious collaborations was with SS General Karl Wolff in the surrender of Italy. A very good read.
