Two items today struck me as particularly noteworthy. First off, treehugger has a great post on a couple of Al Gore videos, talking about making An Inconvenient Truth, and how to effectively get a message on climate change out and about in the public’s eye.
Oh, I hear Leonardo DiCaprio was on Oprah this week, and […]

Sometimes it really is worth it to blow some time playing some pretty games. This morning I was pointed to Quest for the Rest, which is beautiful and well worth checking out. It actually reminds me of a lot of stuff that Ben likes to do.
It also brought up memories of a link […]

Hot, sexy, violent, and inappropriate. I find these are qualities I like in a comic, though often it doesn’t transcend to screen. While I adore Tank Girl and what it was trying to achieve, it didn’t get there and it sold the comic short.
Not quite so for Sin City. I feel like […]

Apparently the folks behind Miramax have left Disney, though the Miramax name and library remain with Disney. Does this mean we’ll have a new creative label pop up? Does this mean Disney will lose all semblance of an investment that has an “edge”?

I watched Floating on Friday. I like the movie. I suppose this is partly because the main character reminds me of a guy I dated once, and also because the people in the movie get upset in a way that feels really tangible. It doesn’t come off as overly dramatic, it just […]

I thought this movie was a riot, full of little Catholic witticisms and action… and the occasional flare of Boston landscape was just plain fun (even though the movie was mostly shot on location in Canada). Norman Reedus actually reminds me of a guy I dated when I was 17.

Went to see Constantine at the cinema last night. I think it was well worth the money for the entertainment. The movie is fun and pretty, the characters are fun, and there’s a lot of play with occult mysticism. Everything I needed to keep me entertained for a Friday night.
Even better, my […]

This “based on a true story” flick goes far beyond the average after school special, and has the kind of gut wrenching feelings as Boys Don’t Cry and Monster. I adored Soldier’s Girl, and I loved the fact that there’s a well adjusted transsexual as a major character.

Last week I watched Monsoon Wedding, a movie I heard about when I was living in China, but never had the opportunity to see. I’ve lived through American, Puerto Rican, and Chinese weddings, and I’ve seen them all as daunting traditions that involve an insane amount of work.
I have to say I think the […]

I watched Before Night Falls today. The film examines the life of Reinaldo Arenas growing up as a writer in Cuba and facing persecution for his homosexuality and his art. His poetic turns of phrase are very strong, and sit well within the film, the film in turn trying to show the […]
