TED Talks - Jeremy Gilley: One day of peace

2011-11-05T22:42:00.000-07:00

I'm quite sure no one has dreamed bigger than Jeremy!
Here's a crazy idea: Persuade the world to try living in peace for just one day, every September 21. In this energetic, honest talk, Jeremy Gilley tells the story of how this crazy idea became real -- real enough to help millions of kids in war-torn regions. Check out Jeremy's very inspiring and motivational TED Talks speech below:

TED Talks - Magical Technology

2011-11-01T12:45:00.000-07:00

I love movies, but I also love technology. So...I was fishing around online today and ran across this cool video from TED Talks. Check it out:

A Finger, Two Dots Then Me

2011-10-25T17:12:00.000-07:00

The video below is Trailer of 'A Finger, Two Dots Then Me', which was a simply beautiful spoken-word piece based on a popular poem by renowned modern poet Derrick Brown. The film takes a dramatic look at death, life and love through the eyes of Brown, a beat poet who has performed around the world for the last decade both as a headliner and with bands such as the Flaming Lips and the Cold War Kids. The short film won Best of the Fest at the San Jose Short Film Festival last weekend. Check it out:

San Jose Short Film Festival

2011-10-20T11:55:00.000-07:00

This weekend I'll be volunteering for the San Jose Short Film Festival. As I was browsing trailers for the film festival, I ran across this CUTE short video simply titled, "BOB". You will understand the title if you watch the video to the very end. Check it out:

Sophia Grace and Rosie

2011-10-15T23:22:00.000-07:00

Sometime in September 2011, the Internet collectively "awwwwed" at the cuteness overload that was 8-year-old Sophia Grace Brownlee and her 5-year-old cousin Rosie dressed like little princesses, singing Nicki Minaj's hit song "Super Bass."
The adorable British girls join the ranks of Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift who've covered the song, but Sophia Grace knocked both of them out the park with her rendition. Check it out:

RIP Steve Jobs

2011-10-05T17:12:00.000-07:00

Drawing from some of the most pivotal points in his life, Steve Jobs, chief executive officer and co-founder of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, urged graduates to pursue their dreams and see the opportunities in life's setbacks -- including death itself -- at the university's 114th Commencement on June 12, 2005.
Live every day as if it were your last and then some day you'll be right. ~H.H. "Breaker" Morant

Barack Obama @ LinkedIn Town Hall

As I'm currently on the job hunt, I thought this Town Hall Meeting with Barack Obama and LinkedIn CEO was very informative:

After watching the Dying to Do Letterman Documentary, I was shocked to hear the star of the movie would be a guest speaker at TEDx in San Jose a couple weeks later. Steve Mazan is one of the most inspirational people I've ever met. After watching this encouraging, humorous and motivational speech by Steve Mazan, you'll see why:

Cinequest 21 - Favorite Movies

2011-04-01T22:07:00.000-07:00

There were many magnificent highlights and experiences at this year's Cinequest 21! I watched many great movies and some not so great movies, but will only discuss a couple of my favorites. As I am a huge documentary buff, I was very pleasantly surprised by two wonderful documentaries, "I AM" and "Dying to Do Letterman". Take a look at the trailers for these movies and view their websites for possible showings in your area or to learn more about these spectacular, innovative and informative movies.

Movie Making Throughout the Bay

2010-10-30T22:48:00.000-07:00

This month I joined a fun group called MMTB, which is an acronym for Movie Making Throughout the Bay. MMTB supports the efforts of film-makers, performers and industry  professionals throughout the Bay Area by providing a collaborative,  supportive and fun environment for them to create, connect and succeed. In a nutshell, a group of Bay Area film enthusiasts meet once a month to write, act and create a short film in one day. After the films are edited and turned into MMTB, the films are viewed at the following MMTB meeting and voted on by all of the meeting participants. The top three films are awarded ribbons. The following film is the end result of our group's short film, which coincidentally won 1st place:

The Cove

2009-08-20T10:01:00.000-07:00

Check out the movie, The Cove

A documentary which follows a team of activists and filmmakers as they infiltrate a heavily-guarded cove in Taiji, Japan, where about 20,000 dolphins and porpoises are being slaughtered each year. It's ...one of the best documentaries I've ever seen and I give it a thumbs up!

Shrink

2009-08-02T23:16:00.001-07:00

Shrink is by far the best movie I've seen this year. Unfortunately it's only showing in select theaters, but I have a feeling it will be in every theater after Oscar season. In my opinion, this movie is one of Kevin Spacey's best performances ever. Here is the Trailer and a clip of Jackson Browne:

Centipede Birthday Video

2009-08-02T18:10:00.001-07:00

Every 10 yrs. (milestone birthday) I do what some people call the "Centipede" to give everyone a good laughl. So on my 40th birthday this year, my spectacular Centipede display was video taped by a good friend for all to see. I have never been able to do the Centipede going forward, but I'll keep trying...every decade.
Now you can have a good laugh too. Check it out:

This is a great video full of testimonials from PATRIOTIC AMERICANS on what it means to VOTE REPUBLICAN! The testimonials are from all segments of the population...from a doctor, an accountant, and a public safety officer to a homemaker, a mother, and a grandmother. It even includes statements from an evangelical leader, a soldier, and minorities.

2008-06-23T12:40:00.000-07:00

This video is funny, cause I consider myself to be a Liberal Environmentalist (or try to be) and George Carlin still makes me laugh.
You will be sorely missed...George !

2008-06-21T22:28:00.001-07:00

I don't mean to push my interests onto people, who may not feel the same...but it's time to make a change! Our economy is not so hot right now (to say it mildly), our healthcare system is profiting from ill people and many of us have friends and family in Iraq, who we would love to see back in the US. I could go on forever with issues that are not being addressed with the current Administration, but I must stop my preaching, as I don't appreciate when people preach to me.
Check out this video if you are open-minded to change:

For my 30th Birthday (seems like yesterday), Dave surprised me with a SkyDiving excursion. Now all I have left to do before I die is... Swim with the Dolphins, have a child and become FAMOUS by receiving an Oscar for my documentary film, titled "The Formative Years - Do they affect you as an adult?".

Anyway, enough about me...check out the video:

This movie definitely will not be giving me the fame, I so deserve, but it was a chance to experience the life of a movie star for one day. Check out this short trailer (edited by Dave) of me and Dave in Cloud9:

As I mentioned in my previous blog, I was very busy volunteering for Cinequest last week, but I did meet so many new and interesting people. One group of volunteers was video taping people walking by the San Jose Repertory Theatre and pointing to things to get people's reaction as they walked by. It was quite funny and harmless, and I could tell one girl in particular has a star quality about her. So, I asked for her YouTube username and noticed she has a new post with my YouTube username in it....check it out and feel free to subscribe at VRMonkey on YouTube

Which reminds me, I should probably promote my YouTube videos, as well. You can see my movies on the right hand-side of this page or Subscribe to my videos at

Cinequest 2008

2008-03-08T14:40:00.001-08:00

I've been so busy with my regular day job and night time volunteering for Cinequest that I have not had any spare time to update any of my blogs. I finally found a few minutes to update this Vlog, as I wanted to promote Cinequest before it ends tomorrow. I've only seen two movies during the Festival and was not very happy about either. The first movie was a documentary about Les Paul and I found it informative, as most documentaries are, but it was slow and long and it took all the strength I could muster up not to fall asleep during the last part of the film. The second movie,

The Suburban Movie, was probably one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The acting was not believable and I found myself holding back laughter when the main character cried. It was all Dave and I could do, not to leave the theater. Although, it was a great learning experience and helped us feel inspired about creating our own film someday.

One movie I would have liked to have seen is The Art of Travel, but I've been working too much :( Although, I did get to meet some of the stars in the movie and the Producers. Here's the Trailer for the film:

Here are some pics from the festival:

Matt Damon

2008-02-10T01:11:00.000-08:00

Okay, so I have this weird fascination (I know…one of many you say) for Matt Damon and have been following him since he wrote Good Will Hunting, which is my all time favorite movie and the reason my dream is to become a Screenwriter. I’ve only seen him live once, but it was just for a minute and he was at a pretty good distance.

So anyway, enough about that…check out the videos below. The first video is the premise to the 2nd one. The 2nd video is the funniest video I have seen in my life and of course, I had to share them with everyone. BTW, please make sure your children are not in the room:

Movies - Juno and The Bucket List

2008-01-01T22:00:00.000-08:00

When I am in the mood for a good movie, I really enjoy the good ol' fashioned love story (in one form or another) with a plot line that brings a tear or two to my eyes at one point or another during the film. The love is not always about male/female relationships, but love of a friendship, love of a child, love of a pet and sometimes even love of the world.

Films that spark emotion are my favorites. Scary films just scare me...and I don't like that emotion. So, the reason I say this is because I recently saw two very good movies, which both shared this feeling of "I'm so happy I could cry" emotion.

Juno is a "coming of age" movie, which partially sparked my interest, because this was the outcome of a first time screenwriter done good. Just like I felt about Good Will Hunting when it hit theaters a few years ago. Also, partially because of the underlying coming of age theme throughout it. I'd give it 5 stars out of 5. Check out the trailer and decide for yourself:

A teenage girl makes difficult decisions when faced with an unplanned pregnancy.

Another movie that could do no wrong is The Bucket List , starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. I would pay every cent in my pocket to anyone who could keep a straight face when Jack Nicholson's character kisses the "Most beautiful girl in the world". There are also two of the best actors in the world starring in this movie and Rob Reiner is the Director. Although, I'd have to give this a 4 1/2 out of 5, but only because I felt I'd seen this storyline a few too many times. Check out the movie trailer and you make the decision:
