A Sinktastic Tale: 2005-11-20
http://sinktastic.blogspot.com/2005_11_20_archive.html
Saturday, November 26, 2005. Out-processed from homeland security. I had to say G'bye to all my new friends down here and that was sad, too. One of my new Southern old guy friends (who calls me 'Urn') tells me that I 'will make someone a good wife someday.' Haha- I think that is a southernism for 'You're swell.' Because, honestly that wife thing seems major (hit me on my pager, haha). Posted by Sink @ 10:00 AM. Tuesday, November 22, 2005. 2 cents on Tuesday. The first time I came was sophomore yr of coll...

Kiliventure: August 2007
http://kiliventure.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
All about our 8/2007 Kilimanjaro climb. August 17, 2007. Danusia attacked by mosquitos overnight, not good sleep. Our last breakfast together, before ACD and Michaela headed off to their safari. Danusia and Eric packed, listened to tunes, stopped by the coffee shop before heading to the airport. Power out at the coffee shop, untoasted sandwiches , choccinos barely! JRO: bought some more souvenirs, Kili photo books, some airplane reading. No kili view from the flight, alas. Posted by Eric Case. Danusia is...

Kiliventure: Day 4
http://kiliventure.blogspot.com/2007/08/day-4.html
All about our 8/2007 Kilimanjaro climb. August 13, 2007. Late breakfast at 8am: fried eggs, toast, avocados, sausage, porridge. Music: Pearl Jam to get us going. Lifeguard lip stuff became popular, as did Britta the Weasel. Climbing straight up and over: 4600m at the highest point. Rest at the top, snacked on clif bars, played with cell phones but no reliable signal for our iPhones or Blackberries, likely due to bad i18n GSM roaming on the network - our guides' phones worked fine.

The Last Mitterrand: Last Socialist Standing. Is a Robert Guédiguian. Docudrama about the last months of the last Socialist President of France. Told through the eyes of a writer who has been contacted to help Mitterrand write his memoir, the film stars Michel Bouquet as François Mitterrand and Jalil Lespert as Antoine Moreau.

I'll show you the life of the mind! I saw Barton Fink. Again this weekend. It's simultaneously one of the most difficult Coen brother's film and one of their best. Barton Fink is an NYC playwright who gets pulled into writing Hollywood B movies and watches his life devolve into a semi-private purgatory. This movie has as many theories to explain it as it has symbols. Personally, I can never tell if this movie is complete genius or complete trash but I love it. A Week in Japan. The Age of Beauty! In a nea...

Imelda Marcos was the Eva Perone of the Philippines! Is an amazing documentary by Ramona S. Diaz. Who received unparalled access through a connection with one of Imelda's closest friends, who also happens to be her aunt. Interesting tidbits about Imelda:. Marcos sometimes speaks of herself in the third person, especially when questions are raised about her character. Humorously, the doc is filmed with excellent Imelda-isms like:. When I see ugliness I turn my back or seem to skip it.". I had the pleasure...

Revenge-based romantic comedy or nightmare of dating singles? This film is about Oh Dae-su an average salaryman in Seoul and his inexplicable kidnapping and imprisonment. After fifteen years he is released and attempts to unravel the mystery of why he was imprisoned. Beyond the too numerous to name violent scenes; there are a few comedic moments that brought levity to the story, such as the aforementioned fight scene and when Oh Dae-su and Mido first talk at her apartment. It's for Flicknuts, see.

An amazing film by Bahman Ghobadi ( A TIME FOR DRUNKEN HORSES. That stars Kurdish-Iraqian child non-actors and their (very rough) lives the weeks leading up to the US invasion of Iraq. Ghobadi, himself a Kurdish-Iranian, films children in a story about a Kurdish-Iraqian refugee camp. The story follows Satellite (Soran Ebrahim), an enterprising 13-year old, who manages the children in their mine clean-up in the dangerous borderland area between Turkey and Iraq (aka Kurdistan.

Shape of the Moon. In Shape of the Moon. Leonard Retel Helmrich brings us a very slow paced documentary about the travails of a Christian family in predominantly Muslim Indonesia. Due to the ease that the family allowed, Retel Helmrich was able to film key moments in the family's life. And Retel Helmrich was able to film some absurdist moments, such as when a neighbor comes to look for an apple that has disappeared. Look for this Sundance. Comments: Post a Comment.
