Movies!
One thing that I never get tired of is watching movies. I always enjoy a good movie. From my perspective, a good feature film always tells a story—a story that aligns and connects with our daily lives. The story could be an epic science fiction based on a galaxy a long time ago in far away. The story could feature a man leaving his family behind at home to serve humanity. The story could feature a struggling actor and his best friend trying to make their names in the 1960's Hollywood renaissance. It could also be a story of a woman becoming the best detective in the British Revolution era. Or the story could feature multiple groups of people becoming the absolute best in their own leagues. Here are some of my favorite movies that I have enjoyed so far.
Books!
It is a shameful thing that I do not read books very often. However, I do encourage people to read books. I have only read a couple of books in my lifetime. The majority of them fall into mystery, crime-thriller, fantasy, and detective fiction genres. Here is a small collection of my books that I have read so far.
