The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Be Better.
I have noticed over the last 45 years how television and movies have had a funny way of shaping how I see the world, often without even realizing it. What starts as “just entertainment” often seeps into my deep thoughts where I wander about aspects of fictional characters, then (occasionally) impacts on how I deal... Continue Reading →
A Youtubing Vlogger. Does that sound right? Should it be a Vlogger who Youtubes? Anyhow, it's heaps of fun. It's early days yet, I am getting the hang of it all. I use Movavi for editing all the interesting moments in my life. Most recently I took the perfect opportunity to video my friends and... Continue Reading →
That Lenny, he is such a character. And the funniest brother.
Watched 'World War Z' this evening. Previously I have said "What is the freaking point of movies about Zombies?? It looks awful!" I've changed my mind. In fact, I'd say my mind has been blown.

Into the Wild First a book, then a movie about the journey of Christopher Johnson McCandless. What you read below is as I wrote... Continue Reading →
Red Tails Trailer 2012 HD This movie I will enjoy watching, least alone for the CGI ! The storyline is one that more Americans need to remember, and an ongoing issue throughout the world: Courage, dedication, loyalty and survival have no colour. When it reaches the Australian cinema I will endeavor to view it on... Continue Reading →
This evening I watched 'The Machinist' on DVD. This is my interpretation as I said I would. All words in brackets are moments from the movie that stuck in my mind. I wrote these down as the movie progressed thinking they would mean something later. They did. The machinist starts all-morose and sullen with an... Continue Reading →
I need to find time to see a few good movies. After a discussion about "Being John Malkovich" with a work colleague (after she saw me reaching into the back of the stationery-cupboard), I was sent an email with a list of further movies I should watch. It's an amazing list of movies that I... Continue Reading →
