It is the late 20th century, and a counterculture has emerged from the depths of New York City’s underground and brought with it electronic music, a whole new fashion and art world, mind-altering drugs, crime and murder. We are at the height of this movement and an enigmatic figurehead glares from a dark balcony [...]
After a long (but mild winter), it always feels amazing to get a perfect day that’s in the 70′s to walk around and explore the neighborhood where I work. With no particular agenda, it was nice to just walk around and take the time to see things that you would normally rush past in the [...]
Welcome to the Lunch Box Diaries #1. A lot can happen on a lunch hour, and I’m going to find out just how much I could accomplish, stumble upon, adventure into and cause trouble with. And sometimes I’ll just eat a sandwich. There is a lot of opportunity to take advantage of that free [...]
“May the odds be ever in your favor”, the oft repeated tagline of “The Hunger Games” comes at all the queued up moments in the film- just as the games themselves are queued up by the master puppeteers at the Capitol. The film is reminiscent of “The Running Man” which includes a dystopian setting where [...]
The Scott family is steeped in the film business, and Ridley Scott’s son Jake is the latest to expand further into feature film. An acclaimed music video director, “Welcome to the Rileys” is Scott’s sophomore film, with Tony (“Top Gun”) and Ridley (“Gladiator”) Scott in the producer’s chairs. Scott shows the potential to run with [...]
“Who wants to see a movie about Facebook?” This is the question that seems to arise about the film “The Social Network.” Maybe it’s because Facebook has become so ingrained in many of our daily lives that its origin seems innocuous, even irrelevant. As all of director David Fincher’s films have proven, what you see [...]

Amongst the hectic tourism and Disney-fied consumerism that is ever-present in the Square area, you will find this display of ancient artifacts that is at once mind-blowing and awe inspiring. Most people have a general [...]

The film Inside Job should be renamed The Greatest Robbery in History. Filmmaker Charles Ferguson who brought us the Iraq war documentary No End in Sight, documents everything short of the culprits saying “I stole millions of dollars from the taxpayers” on record. It feels as though even if they had a blatant confession, that [...]
In an age where over sized film budgets abound and box offices numbers ticker past us on a daily basis, James Cameron’s behemoth “Avatar” has dominated on all fronts. The film is a 3-D/IMAX and special effects king, but leaves storytelling in the virtual dust clouds of its enormous box office wake. The world of [...]
A serious looking man strikes a match in the dark and speaks into the camera to a civilization which will exist far into the future.
