Memorable Heroes from Film and TV

Hi everyone,

I only have a minute to post today (or I guess that should be tonight in my time zone), but I wanted to share a link. I guest blogged this week at the Loose Id author blog continuing my discussion about heroes. I shared some of my favorite characters from television and film. I’d love to hear who you would add to the list.

Video I Love: Life’s a Roller Coaster

Still love this movie! This scene reminds me of what it’s like to write, edit, release, and promote a book. There are many ups and downs to putting your ideas into a story — and such a rush at times.

Hope you all have a great week!

Video I Love: More Than This (Shelter Montage)

If you’ve been following my blog for a while you might know how much I liked the movie Shelter. Here’s a lovely montage that I just stumbled across. It’s set to the song “More Than This” (from the soundtrack).

Thanks to Dorien Grey for sharing this via the Gay Writers/Readers Yahoo groups.

This one just makes me feel good.

Shelter: A Lovely Gay Movie

Once a week I post about something I’m loving (tv, movies, books, art, photos, romances, authors, or anything else). So here is this week’s For the Love of…

Last week I finally had a chance to watch Shelter. I had heard enough about the film that I had no doubts it was something I’d like. And like it I did. Actually, I loved it. It’s on my favorites list for sure. A romantic story with a lovely ending. A “must see” for anyone who enjoys m/m romances.

Here’s a description and the trailer if you haven’t had a chance to check it out:

“Forced to give up his dreams of art school, Zach spends his days working a dead end job and helping his needy sister care for her son. In his free time he surfs, draws and hangs out with his best friend, Gabe, who lives on the wealthy side of town. When Gabe’s older brother, Shaun, returns home, he is drawn to Zach’s selflessness and talent. Zach falls in love with Shaun while struggling to reconcile his own desires with the needs of his family.” (source: Amazon)

Anyone else seen it? If you haven’t, I highly recommend this movie.
