Revenge, New York City. Remember Bernard Goetz? Remember when revenge flicks only got the ‘B’ Movie exploitation treatment? Well, it looks like this one is top shelf all the way.
Check out “The Brave One” website and trailer.

Nirvana’s album ‘Nevermind’ was released in 1991. Remember this cover?
Well, that little swimmin’ kid is 17 now! Yes my friends it has been a child’s lifetime since ‘Nevermind’ was released.
This kid’s all grown up, Kurt Cobain is dead, and there still isn’t another band like Nirvana out there.
My father was a junior high school science teacher. He was the person who got me interested in science at an early age, but it was Don Herbert, aka Mr. Wizard, with his show of the same name that urged me to conduct scientific experiments in our family home. Among other things, he taught me how to separate Hydrogen from Oxygen using the current from a simple dry cell battery. My mother looked in the cupboard for the butter tray and found my strange experiment working away. I was so proud of the “pop” when I held a match to the Hydrogen filled test tube.
Don Herbert grew up in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, not far from my own home. Mr. Wizard taught me how to be curious and to experiment and then to understand my experiments. One of my favorite books that I still have to this day is “Mr. Wizard’s Experiments for Young Scientists.”
I remember I used to take paper clips and stick them in the electrical outlets in our home. Stupid? Scientific? Not sure which but I blame Mr. Wizard. May he rest in peace.
ADDENDUM: My mother recently saw this post and emailed me to remind me that my grandmother, Elaine Hunter, went to school with Don Herbert in LaCrosse, WI. Six degrees of separation!
