Honoring the Memory of Steven Sotloff, of Blessed Memory Today, we remember Steven Sotloff, a courageous Jewish journalist whose life was tragically taken by ISIS a decade ago. His bravery and dedication to truth continue to inspire us. The greatest tribute we can offer is to ensure that terrorist groups like ISIS, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and their ilk are eradicated. Our mission is clear: to make this world safer for all—except those who seek to destroy it through terror. Who stands with us in this fight?

Michael Mann’s Thief is begging for a rewatch this weekend. It’s literally calling my name. James Caan was built different. His emotional range, which was incredibly under-appreciated, is on full display in this performance. Caan & Mann made something special here. 🎂

I woke up this morning & I couldn’t stop thinking about James Caan in Michael Mann’s Thief. Frank’s defiance is his ultimate strength- he refuses to give in to the forces around him, regardless of the cost. Call it pride, call it integrity- call it ego. But there are weeks I can’t let go of Frank’s stubbornness. No one could’ve played this role better than Caan.

Tom Noonan’s Francis Dollarhyde in Michael Mann’s Manhunter (1986) is one of the most underrated villains on screen. Soft-spoken, damaged, and terrifying all at once, he feels painfully human.

THIEF (1981) The Michael Mann director's cut includes this gentle and reflective scene featuring legendary musician Willie Dixon (Cap) and James Caan. Their silhouette shot looking over Lake Michigan is my favorite in the film. "That's magic. That's what that is, man."

Thief is a 1981 neo-noir, heist action thriller film written directed by Michael Mann. It stars James Caan as Frank, an expert, high-end thief with a troubled past. This scene, 40 min in, explains who Frank really is. The film reminds me of Mann's later masterpiece, Heat (1995).

One of the most powerful performances by James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano comes in a scene where Tony is forced to confront the emotional weight of his life, his family, and the consequences of his actions Gandolfini masterfully balances intimidation, vulnerability, anger, and sadness in just a few minutes of screen time.

Today is the birthday of Awka South Local Government Area Chairman, Chief Edu, & this is his way of celebrating his birthday in his constituency. He spends most of the time here insulting Peter Obi. Can you see the rot in the environment, & his beggar-styled way of giving back to his community? Chief Edu, you're a failure!
