The great Richard Kiel passed away today. Mostly known for his portrayal as the lumbering villain Jaws in the James Bond movies THE SPY WHO LOVED ME and MOONRAKER, Kiel also gave a memorable turn as an alien in a brilliant TWILIGHT ZONE episode called TO SERVE MAN. And who could forget this gentle giant as Mr. Larson in HAPPY GILMORE! “Oh terrific…The nail comes out next week.” A wonderful screen presence. Mr. Kiel will be missed.

A hilarious Richard Kiel clip for your viewing pleasure;
Adam Mast has been a lifelong film enthusiast dating back to age 6 when his parents took him to see a little movie called JAWS at a drive-in theater in Northern California. This would lead him to several writing stints for various publications and outlets. Mast would also have a hand in several film projects of various shapes and sizes. In 2014, Mast would join forces with colleague John Pugh to create Cinemast.net as a means discuss film from a fan and analytical perspective. Together, Mast and Pugh would also create the 501 (C)(3) nonprofit, Film and Media Alliance of Southern Utah (FMASU) in 2017. FMASU’s mission is to encourage, inspire and educate filmmaking talent and to preserve film history. Adam currently resides in southern Utah with his amazing wife, Tonja, and their four wonderful children.
