THE MAN FROM ELYSIAN FIELDS



…vertising to pursue his dream of writing. After seven years, he published HITLER’S CHILD, based on the improbable premise that Hitler had a child that was raised in Argentina.

Please address your comments to: Manhattan Pictures International 369… Continue reading

ENEMY AT THE GATES

By Gary Nosacek   THE A TEAM recently became the latest iconic TV show to be given the big screen treatment. Reviews, to be polite, have been mixed. One thing, though, seems to be consistently mentioned. Quiton “ Rampage” Jackson is no Mr. T.   It’s not that Mr. T was a Shakespearian actor in the mold of Sir Laurence Olivier and Rampage is closer to a dinner theater extra.
