A sunny afternoon in Santa Clara, CA. Got through the gate at Great America wearing a Bev Hills cop 2 hat, and a crew person 2nd asst Director said get rid of the hat and get over here: then he stood me next to John Landis in a chair that actually said Director, suddenly i look up on the stage and there is Eddie sitting in a chair a cannon goes off with a million pieces of confetti all over, Voila i am in a movie!!! This was very short on comedy from my perspective; lots of presumed drama that fell short. It was however entertaining and worth a few hours of your life. See it and relive the 80's and 90's...Filmed in Great America theme park Oct-1993.

Maverick

Good cinematography & Very friendly movie set
20 September 2005
I had the privilege of being both an extra and a stand in. Which of course let me see and add to the inside goings on of this movie. I found in particular James garner was very congenial and friendly to the extras. Richard Donner was very purposeful and dedicated putting in overtime each day that i observed him. Along with James garner i found denver pyle and James coburn very friendly to me as i had pictures of me taken with all 3 individually. The photography is great due to the fact that we were on a real riverboat the stern wheeler "Lauren belle" we were returned twice a day to the locks by tugboats and floated back to the fishery. This was all during the 2nd week of sept 1993 30 miles east of Portland,Oregon.
My thanks to the other cast members and Extras.

A Boy Ten Feet Tall
(1963)
Engaging adventure
1 January 2005
This is exemplary adventure "EPIC" even.
I 1st viewed this movie as a ten year old myself in the 1970's so i was really enthralled and influenced by this role of Sammy.
In fact in 1976 i ran away to the great superior lake and the accompanying forests in my attempt to match Sammy's feat in Africa,
I even had a Russian ship in harbor offer to take me aboard...good thing i didn't.he he. Eventually i did manage to get to new york via L.I facing Connecticut and managed to get aboard one of the tall ships in the bicentennial. I don't believe i am the 1st person to be so influenced by a movie. Could My story could become a movie???
