The Host

Looking for a scary monster movie? I saw The Host several years ago when it came out. It’s tough to make a monster movie without having some funny moments. This movie certainly has them. What I really liked about it was first it’s not-too-subtle knocks at America. The movie uses as its catalyst a real [...]

Harry Connick Jr. on Australian Gong Show

I saw this video on the Slog. Harry Connick Jr. is a judge on the Australian Gong Show when the act that appears is in blackface. What does he do? If you can’t stand to watch the whole video, Harry’s commentary is first on 2:15 and then 5:25. I remember watching a DVD commentary by [...]

Police question Azerbaijanis about their Eurovision song contest voting

Truly bizarre. Last month, an Azerbaijani man told the BBC he had been accused of being unpatriotic and a “potential security threat”, after he sent a text backing Armenia’s song, Jan Jan. The country’s authorities said people had merely been invited to explain why they voted for Armenia. The two states fought over the disputed [...]

The worst school ever

I saw If… for the second time. It’s fantastic and has a far better performance from Malcolm MacDowell than A Clockwork Orange. I kept thinking while watching this that the Columbine murderers certainly had nothing to complain about.

Weekending in Ashland Oregon

Here I am once again in Ashland Oregon for my yearly pilgramige to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Luckily the weather has been quite mild. Usually it’s 90 degrees plus which is a bit too much for my Seattle sensibilities — granted we Seattleites know all about 90 degree plus weather since last week. This year [...]

The Tango Lesson

This is perhaps one of the most self-indulgent films I’ve ever seen. Allow me to describe. Sally Potter is a film-maker wants to learn how to tango, so she hires one of the best tango dancers to teach her. She then makes a film about her experience learning to tango casting herself as, well herself, [...]

Be Kind Rewind

While this movie isn’t a great film, it has at least 4 great scenes. Most of the good stuff is in this preview.  I have to hand it to Jack Black. No film is too small for him. He truly is a risk taker.

More high-fructose corn syrup

Here’s a Chicago Tribune article about the unfair and negative image of high-fructose corn syrup. It’s no worse than sugar, they say. It’s made from corn. There is no scientific basis to suggest it is worse than sugar, they say. Actually, there are a number of studies suggesting a link between high-fructose corn syrup and [...]
