Horror flicks, action flicks, you name it from Kubrick to Miike, I'm into it. Sam Raimi & Peter Jackson where my heroes as a kid, not much has changed.
It's probably easier by filmmaker David Lynch, John Carpenter, Dario Argento, James Cameron, John Woo, Woody Allen, it's eclectic.
Television
I'm a sucker for "Seinfeld", and a freak for "Curb Your Enthusiasm", But I watch all sorts of stuff. Family Guy, Best week Ever, Simpsons, South Park, Battlestar Galactica, Dexter, Sopranos, Heroes, Weeds, 30 Rock, Arrested Development, Mr. Show, Little Brittain, The Office, Extras, That's stuff I've watched recently, in the past I was really into Twin Peaks, and I grew up on Knight Rider, The A-team, The Incredible Hulk, the original Battlestar Galactica, Bossom Buddies, Mork & Mindy, Superfriends The Cosby Show and Alf. I went through a Brady Bunch phase once, but didn't we all
Books
David Sedaris, Charles Bukowski, old school Stephen King, old school Clive Barker, Richard Matheson, I enjoy film books "Easy Riders & Raging Bulls", "Woody Allen on Woody Allen", "Burton on Burton". I also love Graphic Novels, Fucking LOVE Frank Miller, always have. Alan Moore is pretty amazing too. You know the classics
Heroes
Do we still have heroes? I look up to John Carpenter, Sam Raimi, Peter Jackson, Guillermo Del Toro, James Cameron, Robert Zemekis and Danny Elfman and I respect any artist who suffers the consequences of being independent and following their heart and dreams. I admire the humble and the selfless. If your a douche, I don't care who you are, I don't have much time for you.

About me:
I've been making movies since I was a kid, and just never stopped. Even though I'm in my 30's, my interests are the same as what they were when I was 14. Movies, video games, comic books, music, action figures, traveling, and a good party. I know, deep stuff, but hey it works for me. I've made 3 features, "Killers", "The Convent" and "The Gravedancers", tons of sick little shorts, and I've produced a tv special or two. I live in Burbank with my lovely wife Oakley in a house full action figures. Who says dreams don't come true.
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
Who I'd like to meet: The Baby Jesus and cool folks who are into horror and movies.
