The Best and Worst of 2017 movies

Another year in filmdom has come and gone, and countless movie reviewers have issued their best and worst lists for 2017. And so, with that said, it’s time to add my voice to the chorus, with my choices for the cream of the crop and the curdled cream best discarded.

In the interest of full disclosure, I must confess that I did not screen every film that was released in 2017, most notably those that were distributed through limited or select channels, such as the Netflix exclusive “Mudbound.” However, I did spend considerable time staring at those flickering lights on the big screen last year, enough to make me feel comfortable in offering up my selections for the pictures that I believe represented the best and worst of past 12 months.

C18-07 DO WOMEN STILL WANT TO BE SOMEONE’S VALENTINE?

THERE’S A CHILL WIND BLOWING…

“The #MeToo movement is putting a chill on romance this Valentine’s Day, and a deep freeze on what for years has been a route to marriage: the office love affair, according to relationship experts.

The number of Americans admitting to being in an office romance has fallen, and some feminist activists call that change as well as zero tolerance for unacceptable behaviour in the workplace long overdue. The movement is sparking the kind of direct communication essential for love, they say.

#MeToo has dampened one traditional route to dating: Office romances. The percentage of U.S. workers are saying they were in one fell to a 10-year-low of 36 percent, according to a Nov. 28-Dec. 20 online Harris Poll of 809 private sector employees sponsored by recruitment site CareerBuilder.

That was down from 41 percent a year earlier, a statistically significant drop in a poll with a 3.45 percent margin of error.

“The #MeToo movement is splashing cold water on whatever embers of romance are struggling to survive between men and women,” said Dr. Carole Lieberman, a psychiatrist and author of “Bad Boys: Why We Love Them.”

C 18-08 “Never Give up on your Dream” with Cliff Simon

February 9, 2018March 11, 2021Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Cliff Simon, on air from February 20th

Never give up. Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth. Do not conform to what you think others want or need you to be. Be yourself. No one can tell you, who you are going to become. No one is in charge of you. If you believe you will make it, you will, don’t listen to just anyone who says you cannot. Always be open to listening to people who have experience in what you want to do. Don’t conform. Some teachers will tell you, ‘You will never be that.’ I hated school because of the constraints. School has nothing to do with how well you will perform in the pursuit of your dreams, or in life.

Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, an Air Force veteran and International athlete, Cliff Simon’s unique presence sets him apart every-time. A powerful veteran actor living in Los Angeles since 2000 realized his dream of becoming a USA citizen. He is a published author of ‘Paris Nights my year at the Moulin Rouge’.

At a very young age, Cliff aspired to be the first South African swimmer to win an Olympic Gold medal. His mother, being a swim teacher, had him in the pool before he could walk and instilled all the confidence he ever needed to follow that path. At the age of 6, he showed talent as a gymnast. By age 15 Cliff had reached a national level in South Africa in both swimming and gymnastics, but to go further in either one, he needed to devote 100% of his time to just one, and he chose swimming.

At age 15, with all the turmoil in South Africa, his parents decided to immigrate to the United Kingdom. It was here that Cliff completed his schooling and was chosen to swim in the British International squad. He competed in Olympic trials and qualified for the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. He was offered scholarships to Houston University and Southern Methodist University in Texas, where he would train with the best United States swim team, the Mustangs. This would have culminated in him competing in the 1984 Olympic Games.

However, after scraping ice off his car windshield at 5am every morning for 3 years before heading off to swimming training and spending 61/2 hours a day in the pool, Cliff felt waterlogged, burnt out and that he was missing out on his social life as a young man. Halfway through a training session, Cliff climbed out of the pool, sat on the edge and told his coach that he was leaving and would be returning to sunny South Africa. Back in South Africa, Cliff entered the Air Force where he continued his swimming and achieved the highest athletic award given in the Air Force, the Victor Ludorum. In 1982 after serving his 2-year term, Cliff took all he owned in one suitcase and headed down to the coast in an old Fiat convertible.

He landed a job teaching windsurfing and water-skiing at a resort hotel. As fate would have it, a stage show was in production at the resort and Cliff was informed by one of the performers that the choreographer was looking for a gymnast. Cliff somehow knew that this was going to be the first step towards a career on stage. To cut a long story short, Cliff performed all over the world in various stage productions as a dancer/acrobat, culminating in his dream role as a principal performer at the world famous and iconic Moulin Rouge Theater, Paris in 1989.

On his return to South Africa, Cliff pursued his stage career. Whilst studying drama, Cliff secured himself a modelling agent and enjoyed much success in ramp, print and television commercials. Cliff received major recognition as a model in South Africa and was asked to enter The Mr South Africa talent and action man competition. On winning this competition in 1992, Cliff was offered an audition on a hugely successful television series, called Egoli – Place of Gold. After guest-starring on the show for 3 months, he was offered a permanent contract as a regular cast member in a lead role and would go on to become a household name for his 6-year run. After being personally affected and sick and tired of the violent crime in Johannesburg, he decided it was now or never and he immigrated to the USA with his wife, with the hope of having a better quality of life. This also gave him the opportunity to realize a long time dream of further pursuing his acting career in America.

Cliff soon landed a guest star role with Don Johnson on the hit TV series, ‘Nash Bridges’. A short time after that, he acquired the guest star recurring role of Ba’al on ‘Stargate SG1’. Cliff’s combination of charming bad guy charisma and wicked sense of humour made him a viewer favourite antagonist, keeping his character recurring for 5 seasons.

In 2007, Cliff was brought back to play Ba’al in the Stargate SG1 movie, ‘Continuum’, which was released in 2008. Cliff was nominated for BEST GUEST STAR at Best of TV Awards Canada 2014 for his role in ‘Castle’. Cliff has many upcoming projects and has guest-starred in many network TV series and films. His short film ‘The Long Dig’ is due for release in Aug 2018. He is penned for 2 huge upcoming projects ‘Almythea 2 Rise of the Astra’ and ‘Land of the Free’. His latest film release ‘Project Eden Vol 1′( Best Vision Award at the Boston Film Festival ) had a USA theatrical release in Jan 2018, and he is getting ready to shoot Vol 2 in 2018.

When Cliff is not working you will find him racing dolphins on his kiteboard off the beaches of Malibu or surfing a wave and leading a quiet life.

C18-07 Write Wisdom, is your loving memoir.

February 7, 2018July 26, 2020Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Loren Stephens, on air from February 13th

Write Wisdom was established by Loren Stephens to provide support and guidance for anyone interested in writing their memoir or life story. It is our belief that every life is unique; that every person has a right to express what is inside their head and inside their heart, but not everyone has the self-confidence or discipline to accomplish this task without the help of a professional coach, editor or writer.

Your memoir may not be headed for the best-seller list, but it will find willing and appreciative readers who want to know about your life. Write Wisdom can help you fashion a readable, compelling, entertaining, and moving memoir through an organized process that will take you from a desire to tell your story to a completed manuscript and published book. You may want to write a memoir of your entire life; a slice of your life story (your teenage years); a memoir about a particularly challenging time in your life (loss of a loved one, battling an illness; a bitter divorce); a dangerous or unusual adventure (living in the jungles of Brazil; kayaking across Lake Michigan); or embarking upon a unique career (the only woman in the boardroom). Whatever the idea, we will help you focus your story, give you ways to overcome your creative blocks and make sure that you cross the writing finish line. We also specialize in historical novels, how-to, inspirational books, and business profiles.
