Movies I’m Watching: Jean-Luc Godard’s Band of Outsiders
Everyone knows that Godard is a bit of an acquired taste, and that no matter how much some cinephile effuses about the man’s genius, there are plenty of people that are going to find his movies unwatchable. This film, however, … Continue reading

Movies I’m Watching: The Reader
[spoiler alert] Kate Winslet, as well all know, has had a big year with Revolutionary Road and The Reader. Both are decent films that I really would like to cheer for, though they never seem to reach beyond the B+ … Continue reading

Movies: Kicking and Screaming
Helen lent this to me, told me it was Dan’s favorite movie, she might have been exaggerating somewhat but said he could quote various lines from the movie. I think that this movie was clever, sure it was a twist … Continue reading
Movie: Days of Heaven
Some people don’t like Terence Malick and i can see why, but for me, hes one of the most original filmmakers alive. His aesthetic is unapologetically poetic: he doesn’t rely much on narrative or plot structures, but more on the … Continue reading
Books: David Shipler’s The Working Poor in America
Books like this are invigorating because even at 9 in the morning at some nearly empty Mc Donald’s in Shanghai, you can feel your conscience welling up within you; and you’re not worried so much about acting on your conscience … Continue reading
