July 23, 2012. Democracy don’t rule the world. You’d better get that in your head. This world is ruled by violence. But I guess that’s better left unsaid. Union Sundown / Bob Dylan. Steven Spielberg is sometimes condescendingly described as a "family filmmaker," as if family were not one of the more profound aspects of our experience. His instinct for the family dynamic has offered intimacy to many a big-budget premise-the struggling single mother in ET. The couple teetering on divorce in Close Encounters.

March 22, 2013. The Way to Calvary. Every Execution has its history. Such a film is Lech Majewski’s The Mill and the Cross. Now, I will say viewing this film takes a certain amount of patience, and may not be for everyone. In most films, CGI is synonymous with a certain level of action that is not present in The Mill and the Cross. However, for those with an interest in art history, unconventional narrative, or simply something outside standard cinematic fare, The Mill and the Cross. March 9, 2013. Of co...

June 18, 2013. Oh, that heavenly smell of a new book.Why can't they bottle that scent? Anyway, on my way to… I was talking to a delightful woman in a bookstore and asked her if she had any recommendations. She led me through the shelves, picked up these books, hugged them to her chest professing her love. Okay, sold. Books (aka flypaper) that a passionate bookseller hugs are good with me. Better Than Fiction by Lonely Planet. Okay, yes, I'm a bit biased. But this anthology is great! You’re a femini...

June 12, 2012. Oh, that was nothing,” his modesty after brilliance his most disarming charm. 8221; Mute and dazed, she declines. But we need Paul Henreid to light one for us. Yep, the Hays Office really did miss the dance. Thank God. Yes, his sister, Adele. For the duration of their astonishing 27-year partnership, the longest in his life — it began when Fred was 5 and Adele 8 — she was the undisputed star of the duo. In her fascinating new book, “The Astaires,”. Riley performs the great service of givin...

May 28, 2013. Summer . . . Even a casual glance at the news could make you think the empire is crumbling fast. If so, should I not urge you to undertake a cultural boot camp this summer that would prepare you for the moment when the walls collapse and -my worst fear -we’re on our own? The books would all preach self-reliance; the music would be the soundtrack of aerobics. By September, you’d have the bodies of Marines and the mental toughness of Spartans. Then I thought: Why? The Queen’s Gambit. The auth...

August 31, 2012. 50 Shades of Grey . . . Gasped Anaethesia, "That's just overwhelming.breathtaking! And all for you Anaethesia," growled Chris Blimey, charismatic, damaged and dangerous - the sort of Top Designer that knows his way around columns.a guy who put syncopation in his presentations. Nner Goddess did a mental pole dance, before putting her back out and having to be helped to the divine pearl grey divan. Yes, it was truly the biggest display of neck vanity Anaethesia had ever. Ms Edna, sorry but...

September 2, 2013. Painting light into the canvas. 8220;Women in the 17th century are allowed to smoke, write, correspond with Descartes, wear spectacles, insult the Pope, and breast-feed babies.”. 8220;There is no history there are only historians…”. From 1600-1680 we can put forward a compelling claim that Rembrandt is the greatest painter since the Renaissance and, that in the 1640’s Amsterdam is the center of the world, a city on the make with the foxes in the hen house. This intriguing and revelator...

October 17, 2014. A year ago I stumbled onto Dan Brown’s Inferno. To compare some of the quotes I opened a copy of Dante’s Inferno. Not the video game, but the first book of the Commedia. Trilogy, and began to read the first lines:. 8220;Midway along the journey of our life. I woke to find myself in some dark wood,. For I had wandered off from the straight path.”. Yes, I thought, I know what that’s like. 8220;How hard it is to tell what it was like,. This wood of wilderness, savage and stubborn.
