The Tax Man by Bruce Jay Friedman

  The Tax Man by Bruce Jay Friedman This short story is extremely funny, it deals with moeurs, sexual inclinations and exploration, the absurd and…the tax man. Dealing with taxes and the individuals involved in this game can be frustrating, excruciating and ridiculous. Especially in countries where one hates to see his taxes- way too big always- being wasted on various white elephants or corrupt public servants or politicians- on my blogs I have videos with the police sleeping on their job, in cars that they use as dormitories, with engines running, using the fuel to allow them to sleep in cool or warm temperatures, according to the season. Then of course we have the outrageous case of the leader of the free world, an orange clown alas, who refuses to let the public see his taxes, maybe because he is worth less than he brags, or, more heinously, on account of possible entanglements with the Russians or other devious financial schemes.

Spinning Man, based on the book by George Harrar

  Spinning Man, based on the book by George Harrar Guy Pearce has had much more challenging and rewarding roles than that of Evan Birch, including those of King Edward VIII in the King’s Speech, the sympathetic Detective Senior Nathan Leckie in the fabulous Animal Kingdom, The hurt Locker, Leonard in Memento, the complex Ed Exley in L.A. Confidential and last but not least, the radiant gay man in the flamboyant The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. In Spinning Man, Guy Pearce is Evan Birch, a sophisticated, intelligent, rather dark, complex, erudite, forgetful, elusive philosophy professor, who may or may not be implicated in a crime that has been committed in the neighborhood, although even on the nature of the disappearance of the girl there are questions- is she missing, only to return, has there been a kidnapping, or even worse of all, maybe she had been killed.
