    I’m continuing to add to the Cloud Immortal Movie Review section, but thought since many of us are at home, you might want more suggestions for East Asian films to watch. Here is a site that I love that does the whole range of genres in East Asian film. I highly recommend: https://www.easternkicks.com/

    I’m also continuing on with my reading of the third volume of Jin Yong’s classic Legends of the Condor Heroes in translation, which is available on Amazon. Plenty of things to keep busy with. In the future, I will add a new section to the Cloud Immortal Movie Review section that just recommends various East Asian genre films outside of my Boston University classes.

  • 3/19/2020 - I’m continuing to add new content to the Cloud Immortal Movie Reviews section on Teaching East Asian Film at Boston University. Who knows you might find a movie or several movies to help pass your time at home. I’m very much hooked into a Hong Kong TV series of Jin Yong’s novel The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, which can be conveniently found on Amazon Prime Video. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Heaven_Sword_and_Dragon_Saber

  • 3/2020 - I’ve started a “series” of posts on the Cloud Immortal Movie Reviews section on Teaching East Asian Film at Boston University. I’m going through my ten years at Boston University basically listing and briefly commenting on the films I’ve show across my classes there. I’ll add more over the coming weeks.

  • 02/09/2020 - I’m back! Has it really been that long since I updated this website? I’m very sorry about that. Life has gotten in the way of my life - thus the hiatus in my writing. Four years ago, I lost someone very close to me and after that really didn’t feel like doing anything. But I’m back at it again, working on a new novel. No not Scroll 2 of Listening to Rain. That is in outline form, but became so complicated that I decided to put it down for the time being to turn to something else. For now, I’m going to work at updating the website, making some changes and some additions. For those of you who have stuck with the site, thank you so much. And I hope we will have new friends joining the site.

  • 2/19/2016 - Coming soon, installments of Scroll 2 of The Adventures of the Shaolin Blade Tanzong! Further news in a few days or so.

  • 3/13/2014 - If you would like to read one of my movie scripts, you can find it on http://studios. amazon.com/projects/40569. "Empire of Light" is a combination of ScFi time travel and wuxia genres. To read the script as a PDF, look to the bottom left side of the page: Script 1 - "Albert's Original Draft" and hit the PDF key. While Amazon Studios have passed on it, I have two other feature-length projects that will be considered by them.

  • 3/2014 - The Director of the Penn State Asian Studies Program tells me he is once again using my novel, Dream of the Dragon Pool: A Daoist Quest in his RLST181 "Introduction to the Religions of China and Japan" course. He says, "Students do enjoy the book, a nice change from dry academic reading. For a survey class, the book works really quite well."

  • 12/01/2013 - The Wandering Blade website begins!
