¿Quien es, Pete?
¿Quien es, Pete? As far as Old West History goes, no other person or story had a more profound impact on me as a writer than Billy the Kid. When I was fifteen years old, my parents took me on a three-week summer RV trip to New Mexico, Colorado and Utah. While in New…
Movies on Guerilla Warfare
The Liberator This movie documents the life and exploits of Simon Bolivar, quite possibly, one of the most influential figures in the history of the South American continents struggle to be free of the Spanish Empire in the 19th Century. Although this movie is not so much about Guerilla Warfare per se, I…

Hollyweird Bombs Again
I can’t think of anything worse than spending two hrs of my time and hard earned money sitting through an “anthology” series about three of the WORST First Ladies ever to inhabit the White House: Michelle Obama (aka Shaq in Women’s Clothes), Betty Ford (She put the L in LUSH) and Eleanor Roosevelt (A…
More Foreign WW2 Movies Worth A Damn
‘Onoda – 10,000 Nights in the Jungle’ The story of WW2 Japanese Army Second Lt. Hiroo Onoda is an amazing one to say the least. For exactly 10,000 nights (29 years) Onoda survived alone in the jungles of the Philippine island of Lubang with only his wits, training and dedication to see him through….
Best Western of 2021: Old Henry
Real Westerns are a dime a dozen these days. About every five years one comes along that is worth watching from a writer not influenced by the current woke agenda that seeks to inject a version of fantasy instead of history, you know the kind I am talking about: where any color other…
