ANGEL STREET

 Angel Street 

By Mike Colonna and the LaQuinta Writers

Logline: It doesn’t pay to fail when you owe a debt to the Mafia.

Genre: Drama - Suspense - Comedy


St. Peter’s Bar The bar was dark except for the multiple twisting neon signs. “Coors,” “Corona” and “Closed” all buzzed to create a surreal, mystic glow. A long counter ran the width with 20 bar stools lined up waiting for patrons. The polished mirror reflected colorful glass bottles. Blue gins, golden bourbons and clear vodkas lined the shelves. Polished black granite counters sparkled with the neon’s reflections and clear well-shined glasses stood in formation. In the corner a curled-up ball of a man began to move. His leg straightened and his hand crept up to his head as a loud moan escaped from his lips. 

Disheveled and confused he unfolded and sat up slowly, grabbing at a chair with one hand and his head with the other. 

JAMES BRANIGAN

“What the...”. 

He said, wincing. Slowly turning, he took in his surroundings.

 Synopsis

 

A veteran CIA agent has gone missing.  It transpires that he is being kept in a remote cave in the Middle East where he is chained to a wall while awaiting a very unpleasant prospect:  he's to star in a snuff movie that will feature him being skinned alive, among other tortures.  This has been arranged by his nemesis, Badr, a wealthy man with many faces and a hand in a good number of illicit enterprises. His heart is not pure, which is to be seen.

 

Through a stroke of ingenuity the manacled agent, Dink Getty, escapes the cave and is making his way down a mined  mountain trail when he hears a great tumult ahead and, closer, he sees that an Arabic woman is about to be the victim in a public stoning.  Very close now, a blood-hungry local is about to brain the woman, Zahra, with a rock when Dink steps forward and shoots the man in the head.  He manages to take the woman back up the trail but several members of the mob are in pursuit.  All are armed, while Dink is in possession of a pistol that now has but three bullets remaining in it.

 

Eventually, utilizing a good number of unorthodox ploys, he eliminates the pursuers but he has been badly cut up in the process and the rescued woman (a recent rape victim) has also sustained numerous injuries.  Utilizing a phone stolen in his escape from the cave, Dink makes a Mayday call to his old partner, Carson Barrett, in the hope that he can arrange a helicopter evacuation from this remote location.  The chopper arrives but since there's no place to land it a rope ladder is lowered for Dink and Zarah, but Dink isn't strong enough to ascend the ladder; but a man he doesn't recognize is able to get him aboard.  That man is Carson. 

 

However, a disoriented Dink is unable to recognize Carson, primarily because his appearance has been altered—his longtime partner now looks many years younger than previously.  It will transpire that a secretive and  mysterious substance that has come from Armenian caverns is responsible for this transformation.  This product, aurak, is but one example of a great horde of treasure that has been stored here ages ago.  Later, Carson will show Dink a number of shocking sights within these vaults, which are soon to host several astounding events.  But in order for these to happen an archaic riddle must first be solved:

                                               

                                    “Through the open door, the whore and her spore

                                      The only way back, through a portal black                                    

                                      Down through a crack, and to an ancient stack

                                      To suffer no lack, and avoid an attack

                                      Destroy the hidden tomb, shrouded in gloom”

                                               

Finding a solution doesn't come easily but eventually the riddle is solved, largely through the intuition of a young girl, an Armenian savant.  Also an unlikely contributor is Carson's mother, Violet, once a noted scholar, but who until recently languished in the depths of Alzheimer's disease and was at death's door in Colorado.  But then she underwent a pair of airplane trips and before long began to be dosed with aurak, resulting in an amazing recovery of intellect.                        

 

Barrett himself had also been forced to go dark, due to a pair of bent American agents stationed in Dubai and involved in a massive counterfeit money operation, an operation intended to bring the world into an electronic monetary system.   Carson has found sanctuary in Armenia quite near historic Mount Ararat and has integrated himself into a group, the Armenian Christian Society, that has been tasked by government to administer the complex of deep and mysterious caverns in this area, which are associated with the time of the landing of Noah's Ark in this locale.

 

Dink will eventually learn that the race of hybrid beings that had once dwelt here, and were responsible for mining and storing the treasures within the caverns were the biblical giants, the Nephilim, a rebellious and blood-thirsty order of fallen angels who had resided here many years until the flood of Genesis.   In fact, these cannibalistic pagans were the target of the flood.   As punishment, the Creator drowned them all, along with corrupted mankind--with the exception of  just eight people.  However,  the genetic code of one of these eight carried Nephilim DNA, which resulted in the reappearance of this race throughout the Middle East and was a great menace to the land and people of Israel.

 

Early in this saga ex-Marine Grady Barrett, a young college basketball coach and family man, is content with the status quo, but other forces have different ideas in mind for him and he soon faces charges of murder and immoral/lewd conduct.  An alternative to a prison sentence is an offer instead of a life in the Arabian Gulf where he will be coaching a touring U.S. military hoop team while living in Dubai and, as needed, take part in covert activities.  He will be immediately immersed in an attempt to rescue his lovely wife, Madison, kidnapped in a case with a bizarre twist of a one-in-a-million chances of double jeopardy.  

 

Grady  has no idea that he and his family are essentially bait.  Because  nefarious parties want to eliminate Carson, who has mistakenly been sent a report that he was never meant to see.  Grady, his dad, and old friend Dink will all be utilized in confronting espionage, murders, counterfeiting schemes, and hostage rescue.  Confronted with  several layers of problems, Grady and allies are tasked with taking them each down.  These allies include American Special Forces, Israeli Skunk spray, a precocious 7-year-old daughter, Emma, who owns a thought-provoking Doodle Board that she's named Syncranatic, and an Afghanistan-trained military dog with no ears.  Which would be the fearless and loyal Uncle Sam.

"Get Mahoney" Book Trailer

PRESS RELEASE “Get Mahoney!: A Hollywood insider’s Memoir” is Available Online by Jim Mahoney, One of Hollywood’s Most Trusted Insiders During its Golden Age, and PR Advisor to Frank Sinatra, Clark Gable, Johnny Carson, Bob Hope, Steve McQueen and Many More Entertainment industry secrets disclosed including details of the Frank Sinatra Jr. kidnapping and surviving Las Vegas in the ‘60s with The Rat Pack, confidential dealings with Steve McQueen, Debbie Reynolds & Eddie Fisher, The Rolling Stones, Colonel Parker, etc… Available now at www.GetMahoney.com and www.BookBaby.com – pre-order hard cover copies will start delivery around February 22, 2023, to coincide with the PR veteran’s 95th birthday – will post soon at Amazon Kindle Store along with other eBook retailers
January 2, 2023 (La Quinta, CA) – Hollywood super-insider, Jim Mahoney, whose career spanned more than 50 years at the pinnacle of the entertainment industry’s Golden Age, has released his long-awaited memoir entitled, “Get Mahoney!: A Hollywood Insider’s Memoir”. Filled with dozens of never-before heard anecdotes with some of the most famous figures in Hollywood, it’s about his dedication to his craft for the Oscar, Emmy, Grammy and Tony-award (EGOT) winning clients he represented, with assorted tales revealing secrets behind some of Hollywood’s biggest names. From his earliest days working at MGM studios directly for Clark Gable (at Gable’s request) and as personal tour guide for special guests of studio chief, Louis B. Mayer, to his career through the turbulent 60s and 70s and eventually to the 90s and early 2000s, “Get Mahoney!” chronicles a career that few in the entertainment industry can compare and only a handful have ever experienced. “Get Mahoney!” was the phrase desperately cried and all too frequently screamed by stars and their “handlers” throughout Hollywood, when they knew the sh*t was about to hit the fan. It was usually to avoid press coverage rather than achieve it. Often referring to himself as a better “sup-press-agent” (to keep his client’s names out of the press) than press-agent, Mahoney was known for his ability to make arrangements with the authorities to keep the dirt swept neatly under the carpet – where it belonged.
“From Gable to Garland, from The Stones to Sinatra, my job was to keep the sweet smell of success from turning into the foul stench of scandal,” Mahoney commented for the book jacket. “All my life I’ve dealt with the blemished face of celebrity. My job has been to sanitize the stars and keep them sparkling.” He did so, often under the most arduous of circumstances. Some call it “fixing” and it’s been written about before when chronicling Mahoney’s mentors like legendary MGM PR icon, Howard Strickling and his sidekick “the fixer”, Eddie Mannix. From early days working under their tutelage and with columnists like Walter Winchell, Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons to later-day entertainment news icons like Larry King, ET’s Mary Hart and TMZ, Mahoney learned from the masters of the medium the difference between an amusing story that the fans could marvel over, versus one where a “misunderstanding” could threaten careers – and he frequently did it from the golf course. As Bob Chew, another PR-expert and frequent golf partner, adeptly wrote in a recent article when describing Mahoney’s passion for golf and ability to merge it with his PR career, “You’ll often hear Clint Eastwood, Nick Faldo or Jim Nantz give a nod to Jim (during a network broadcast recently of the AT&T tournament in Pebble Beach). Along the sub-cultural crossroads of golf, Hollywood, and the press, or at least the press of Hollywood’s Golden Age, Jim Mahoney is the real deal.” Mahoney’s entertainment industry golf pals included a who’s who of Hollywood, and many were clients, like Glen Campbell, Sean Connery, George C. Scott, Jim Garner, Sinatra, Hope, Jack Wagner, Mac Davis, Newhart and Joe Namath. Befriending celebrity golfer Bing Crosby in the 50s, he also shared plenty of rounds with pros including: Arnold Palmer, Jack Niklaus, Sam Snead, Nick Faldo, Lee Trevino and Tony Jacklin and his single-digit handicap was respected from St. Andrews to Bel-Air CC and Pebble Beach. Nicknamed “Crime”, it was because “Crime doesn’t pay”, and likewise, Mahoney never loses.
Friends and colleagues have extolled Mahoney for his accomplishments, including: Robert Wagner; “Jim is a class act… one of my closest friends.” Nancy Sinatra; “Jim was a solid friend all the way. I can’t remember my life when Jim wasn’t in it.” Todd Fisher; “My father Eddie Fisher, and my mother, Debbie Reynolds, were both represented by Jim Mahoney during some of the most important times in their lives.” Bob Newhart; “Jim Mahoney was my friend and publicist. He represented the top entertainers in town and his behind-the-scenes stories are a fun read and are about the biggest stars in Hollywood’s Golden Age.” Mahoney had life-long friendships with Barron Hilton (Hilton Hotels – both were kicked out of LA’s Loyola High School together), and billionaire Las Vegas hotel and studio owner, Kirk Kerkorian, (they shared brown paper sack lunches on MGM’s back lot). He reminisces about visiting Ronald Regan’s White House with Oscar winner Jack Lemmon and visiting Havana’s opera house where he unexpectedly shared cigars with Cuban President Fidel Castro. Throughout all, Mahoney was like a Hollywood Zelig, and his understanding of the relationship between high-profile figures and the press never wavered. He was regarded as one of the most trusted and respected figures in Hollywood from studio heads to top agents and managers for more than half a century.
Mahoney is turning 95 in February 2023 and lives quietly in La Quinta, CA, on one of his favorite golf courses – and the one where he won the 1977 Bob Hope Celebrity Pro-Am. He can frequently be found on his back patio overlooking the 18th fairway enjoying a cigar and regaling guests with stories you’d think were Hollywood fantasy but were in fact his every-day life for decades, and just another reason the phrase “Get Mahoney” was so pervasive during Hollywood’s Golden Age.

"Just Rocky and Me," Trailer

Just Rocco and Me My name is Basko. I’m a German Shepherd and I’m eight weeks old. I was born in Montana. My father had a crazy German name like “Herman von Schtupen,” and weighed more than 140 pounds. My mom was “Hilda von Worshsteiner” or something like that.” She was a shapely Eighty-five pounds. I wondered why they didn’t share their last name, but I guessed they were just living together. I was lucky, my breeder owned a world famous German Shepherd Breeding Ranch. They posted my picture on the internet alongside several other Shepherd breeders. Hundreds would visit their web site each day. I was born with a black coat. I would soon turn into a combination of black and auburn, with a thick fur coat. I was destined to be a handsome devil. A college kid saw my picture, paid cash for me and I was booked on a flight to Long Beach, California. My breeders scooted me into a small traveling crate, and wished me a good trip. I was off to Long Beach, by way of Seattle. But there were complications. When the Alaska airlines flight landed in Seattle, I was escorted out of the baggage compartment onto a luggage carrier and wound up, forgotten, in the cargo storage area. It seemed like an eternity; I had to go potty and no one to turn to. My bark sounded like a whimper. Next thing you know, a flight attendant approached my crate and gave me the bad news, I missed my flight. Hey, I’m just a puppy, what the heck do I know? She looked at my tag, “Basko I’m in charge of getting you on the next flight to Long Beach. Your new owner’s been waiting for hours. He’s not a happy camper.” This is where my “tale” begins, Pardon the pun. Next thing I know, I’m on a baggage carrier speeding out of the storage area. I saw an Eskimo Page 2 of 9 Just Rocco and Me smiling from the tail of another Alaska jet. The baggage handler picked up my crate, walked up the rear gangplank and handed me off to a flight attendant. “You’re so cute, bet you would like a snack.” Snack?
