Sinema Vérité: September 2011

http://sinemaverite.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

Ramblings on film, Netflix and all the pretty moving lights and sounds that accompany them. Friday, September 2, 2011. Rise of the Planet of the Apes - % % %. The joy of watching a gorilla attack a helicopter makes up for many of the unfortunate missteps of this prequel to the 1968 original, 'Planet of the Apes'. This film will still be enjoyable for those who aren't familiar with the original, but there are numerous hints and lines referencing it which will seem odd and out of place in this new film.

And her own networ. There’s no question that Ms. Winfrey has an undeniable media influence. Additionally, Winfrey is acutely aware of her influence, as the following PowerPoint.

The Ranting Taint: Understanding a Fragmented Iraq

http://therantingtaint.blogspot.com/2007/08/understanding-fragmented-iraq.html

Friday, August 17, 2007. Understanding a Fragmented Iraq. In spite of the ear numbing word Iraq. Invading your everyday news source - I challenge you to think about the people of Iraq. The constant struggle over legislative power, wealth (oil control) and U.S. support is crucial, and there are many different cultural populations that are vying for it - - not to mention the neighboring countries that would like their piece.

http://albabblog.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-egyptian-people.html

Impressions of a Middle East - Past and Present. Tuesday, June 11, 2013. Other places in Egypt, are a testament today to this overpopulation.

According to Borges, so begins the tale¨The Approach to Al-Mu'tasim¨, a fantasy story of this lawyer´s descent into iniquity, and from there into realization.

Al-BAB: The White Synagogue of Toledo

Impressions of a Middle East - Past and Present. Tuesday, March 19, 2013. The White Synagogue of Toledo.
