Les Miserables Film Review Up at F.O.G.

A red flag symbolizes road construction or a train wreck in Les Miserables.
Actually, it's been up since last Thursday. But the rush of Christmas and a busy writing schedule have delayed my insightful thoughts on the film based on the musical based on the Victor Hugo novel based on a tale making the rounds at a French bowling alley. Go to Forces of Geek. Look, see, ponder, eat a fruit cake. Image: Chicago Mag

The Darkness Within is Here

"Bummed Out" lives here.


Over at Lulu with an Amazon listing soon to come. This collection of gritty tales examines darkness in its various forms. Among them is my very own "Bummed Out," a story of viciousness disguised as art and the high cost of hipness. Go, order, read, reflect, remark. Such is the way of our age.

The Darkness Within is Near

eleanorleonbennett.zenfolio.com




Inside this book you will find a collection of short stories examining the murky side of the human condition. Among them is my very own "Bummed Out," a tale about the hidden price of being cool. The publisher sent me this cover sample and that means the book will probably be available within the week. I'll announce the publication date quite loudly and have info on where a dark copy may be obtained.

Alfred Hitchcock and Anthony Hopkins droll it up for the camera.
Happy Thanksgiving! At Forces of Geek this festive day a curious person might find a review. That review could be of the film Hitchcock. That film review could examine compelling parallels between Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho and Walt Disney's The Aristocats. There are more links than the inside of a Jimmy Dean sausage factory.

Writing Trumps Blogging

Image: NerfWiki


Odd but true. Blogging wanes as I rush to finish another short story before year's end. Old writing foes procrastination, perfectionism, and despair arise to hinder me. My antidote is cranking out a lousy first draft and not pausing to edit or judge the content. Then I will have something to work with. Nevertheless "Reviews of Films I Have Never Seen" will return Thursday with a gripping peak at Tom Hank's latest movie, Cloud Atlas.
