A Panic in Needle Park
One of the best movies ever made; on my Top Ten List. Unflinching and heartbreaking in its realism, but told in a semidocumentary way that I don't think most grandmothers would object to. Proof positive even the grittiest movies don't have to be . Too bad most filmmakers don't seem to know the difference. If you wonder why this one has such high quality, just look at the writers and director. Not to mention the star: Al Pacino can eat crackers in my bed anytime!

White Nights indescribably wonderful
I have to watch this movie at least once a year, along with Romero and Michael Collins and a few others. White Nights is everything all rolled into one; romance, music, dance, action, thriller. The script, casting, direction, acting, production values are superb. Pacing is so tight that at the end, I always find myself on the edge of my seat trying not to help the story along by literally yelling "Run! Run! Faster!" I had a scary dream about that scene the night after the movie's first theatre showing, which might've happened even if I hadn't managed to squeeze in 4 viewings that day.

'The 13th Apostle' holds a reader spellbound.
Absolutely one of the most delightful books I've ever read, and I'm a bookworm extraordinaire. Most of the time I avoid historical fiction since it can give such a skewed view of history, but I'm so glad I relented for this one. As a straight-line second gen Irish American whose grandfather and gg fought for Collins, I was raised on all those old stories. McEvoy took me back to the times when my elders held us spellbound. I can't fully express just how much I loved reading 'The 13th Apostle'. Despite the need for artistic license, this book ranks with the best of traditional history.
