We bet you already knew that ”The Alamo" is a movie set in Texas.  You should, it has happened twice.

But what about "Tender Mercies" and "Places in the Heart" and "The Trip to Bountiful," which won a Best Actress Academy Award for Geraldine Page?

 

In this presentation lasting just over an hour and enhanced with PowerPoint images and film clips, the focus is on films set in the Lone Star State.

 

The impressive list includes "Giant" and others, so join us, won't you?

My heartfelt thanks go out to legendary San Antonio-based radio personality and good friend Sonny Melendrez, the nicest guy I know and one of the finest keynote speakers in the U.S., for having me on his radio show Sunday morning.

I had the honor of serving as sidekick and movie guy on Sonny's top-rated San Antonio radio show a few years back. Now Sonny is back on the air with the all new "Sonny Melendrez Show" Sundays at 11 a.m. on San Antonio's 930 AM The Answer.  You can listen live by going to the station's website.

Sonny and I had a great time on his new show Sunday morning.  It was like old times, but fresh and new.

What, you missed it?  What if I said you didn't, not really?

Sonny, always on the cutting edge of radio and technology, archives his weekly shows as podcasts.  If you're in the mood to have some fun and find out how yours truly slowly morphed from a shy guy afraid to even raise his hand in class in high school to a nationally known film critic, public speaker and comedian, click on this link to hear the podcast.
