New Batman in 2011…thank you, Gary Oldman
Posted by: sdennison on: July 24, 2009
Gary Oldman just revealed that the sequel to The Dark Knight should hit theaters in 2011. I’m beyond excited. No word yet on if Christopher Nolan is directing though…
Cannes Film Festival
Posted by: mangold on: May 17, 2009
Lots of high-profile films are debuting at Cannes this year, and so far only Pixar’s “Up” and Lee Daniels’ “Precious” have gotten standing ovations and rave follow-up reviews. Also, “Kinatay” is being called the worst film in the festival’s history, even out-doing Vincent Gallo’s “The Brown Bunny” from a few years ago (If you haven’t [...]
Revolutionary Road
Posted by: sdennison on: March 17, 2009
So, I was lucky enough over the past three days to get to personally meet the screenwriter of the movie Revolutionary Road, which I finally saw Sunday night–and I can safely say that the critics in general have been completely unfair in their lukewarm reception of the movie. It’s fantastic. Sure, it’s depressing [...]

The N.P.M.
Posted by: mcdufrechou on: February 16, 2009
So, this semester I’m writing my thesis. I’ve got a good subject, but, as a part of taking on a thesis project, I have to be serious, studious, and diligent most of the time. Sitting in some of my other classes, I start to feel a bit crazy. I can’t bother to waste my seriousness [...]

So this guy, a bit ago, made harmonica-things out of gas masks… this is him and someone else performing “Hallelujah”:
Beirut, MARCH OF THE ZAPOTEC & REALPEOPLE HOLLAND
Posted by: lkorn on: January 29, 2009
Zach Condon has done it again, and this time, “it” is completely different than last time (2007’s The Flying Club Cup). With Beirut’s new double EP, March of the Zapotec and RealPeople Holland, comes the introduction of a new band and distinctly new sounds. Perhaps it’s my lack of motivation or the prospect of a [...]
