Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day! And this year, I'll be looking at a 400-year old scourge of piracy...the Ghost Who Walks himself, the Phantom! (It was supposed to be last year, but I didn't have enough time to do this justice.)
 I don't think anything will ever change my mind that the best Robin Hood movie we've ever gotten was Errol Flynn's. This often-overlooked British version, however, deserves to snag the second place slot.   The world's most famous fictional spy seeks to protect England's newest weapon from an unknown threat in Moonraker, my introduction to the James Bond franchise.   As World War II draws to an end, an officer fights for his men against a ruthless captain in a must-see dramedy.   The inimitable Jonathan and Darlene Edwards sing a tribute to the City of Lights in this unforgettable Grammy-winning album.   After a years-long hiatus, the INCspotllight Interviews are finally back! Today's guest is Lillie Lainoff, an award-winning writer and activist whose work has been published in The Washington Post, Today's Parent, and The Los Angeles Review, to name but a few. She was also a member of Yale's Varsity Fencing Team, where she was also managing editor of the Yale Daily News Magazine. She continues to compete in and coach fencing, and in 2017, the US Fencing Association awarded her the Spirit of Sport Award. Her first novel, One For All, will be released on March 8th. So sit back, relax, and   An undercover cop must survive infiltrating a brutal gang of thieves in Ringo Lam's City on Fire, one of the many cinematic gems to come out of Hong Kong's New Wave.   Soooooo...we're getting another Batman movie, this time with Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader and Matt Reeves directing. And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to it.  The Batman (2022)
 Geez, it's been years since I've done an INCspotlight special. And this is one I've been planning from the beginning: the books that turned Don Alonso Quixana into Don Quixote de la Mancha.   Errol Flynn returns to the INCspotlight just in time for Talk Like a Pirate Day - and the anniversary of the day I became a published author! And it was films like The Sea Hawk, the quintessential classic swashbuckler, that set me on that path.  |
