Introduction
I studied film history and production years ago in S.F. and currently write the occasional film review. My tastes run the full gamut - from mainstream to obscure.
What are your hobbies, if any?

Pool and poker. I'm a nationally known pool competitor and enjoy no-limit hold'em tournaments and cash games.

What was the last good movie you've seen in the past year? What was the worst movie you've seen in the last year?

Worst - I'd have to say "Romance and Cigarettes" last good movie was "Priceless" with Audrey Tatou.

If you had to prepare a meal for 8 guests?.what would you prepare?

Probably something foolproof like my deep dish spinach lasagne, along with some crab cake appetizers, salad and garlic bread.

What are your 3 favorite wines?

I've recently enjoyed cabs by Greg Norman and 14 Hands. Any good Zinfandel. Prefer the spicy reds.

What are your top 5 favorite movies of all-time?

TOUGH QUESTION. So many genres. Let's include triologies. Godfather, Lord of the Rings, Aliens, Casablanca, Pans Labyrinth, and the collective works of Almodovar.
