Pictures of the Decade

Sometimes I forget what has been happening on Earth in the last decade only to then realize how fortunate but also strangely removed I am, being here in Los Angeles, where we (as of yet) do not to have the kinds of terrorist attacks, wars, and strife depicted in many of these photos. Its time we, as a whole, move forward with embracing one another and reflect love and understanding not hatred and ignorance. Of course, its easier said than done. But simple actions can start waves of change.

Click on this juicy burger to find out what some of the unhealthiest burgers (and some alternate options) there are out there!

BTW - I discovered an AMAZING Burger joint in LA called Umami burger. Its delicious, its gourmet, its a bit pricey but worth it and if you go during happy hour you can order their 'SMASH' burger for only $5! Its heaven in a bun.

SAM THE SHAM

This band is amazing. Truly. You will of course know Wooly Bully. But Lil' Red Riding Hood and many of their songs are classics...

INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS ~ Magnum Opus


Tarantino does an immaculate job of balancing various genres of film-making and threading them into a mesmerizing and poignant period flick. It plays much like a Western only set in war torn France during the Nazi invasion. His writing is full of wit and intrigue and the performances, for the most part, are terrific. Christopher Waltz shows true genius in his performance combining humor, terror, and cunning vindictiveness. He deserves the academy award nomination, if not, the award itself. A must see film. Full of every element that makes you want to toss back some popcorn and be swept away by cinema. (by Rob Kolar)

Here are some memorable scenes. (don't watch if you want more of surprise)

THE PARABOX - review & recommendation


(click photo for link to event and info.)

POSTFACT productions propell a new excitement into cutting-edge experimental theater in Los Angeles. Their latest play "The Parabox" is a must see for anyone in the area looking to be entertained visually and sonically. (Not to mention... have a laugh, experience well-construed social commentary, and enjoy a glass of free wine.)

There is a sense of well angled minimalism, ala Piet Mondrian, married to a Dr. Seuss-ian symbolic humour. Poetry meanders into dance routines. Slogans blare out of emotional reverie. All the while a classic sense of humour is infused with an allegorical tale.

Rachel Kolar uses a surrogate reality to cleverly express a story line reflecting the human propensity for obsession. Especially our desire to 'escape reality' through media and Television. Through masterful lighting and modest set design we observe a piece which plays like a 'children's book' conceived for adults. A salient theme concerned with human relationship and our addiction to circumvention.

The audience is not walloped by messages or sermons. Instead tickled with comedy and lured into an alternate reality of creative characters and eccentric interaction.

Both Lauren Brown and Rachel Kolar are talented actors & dancers who personify a yin-yang relationship in their work. Definitely keep your eye on this team and their evolving creations. I suggest seeing "The Parabox" for your self, I believe you will not be dissapointed. It plays for 2 more weeks at Son of Semele theater in Silverlake. www.myspace.com/postfactproductions

STEELERS WHEEL.... Doppelganger?

I was at a party last night and my friend Alia Penner told me to check out Steelers Wheel's video for "Stuck in the Middle With You". She said there was an uncanny resemblance to yours truly. I tend to scoff at these kinds of statements. =) But I have to say Alia has a pretty keen eye on this one. Joe Egan and I even have the same curly (on the verge of hasidic) sideburns. You decide. Either way... Great song... enjoy...

The Wrestler (post by Rob)


Mickey Rourke deserves the oscar. Albeit quite a tragic and disconsolate story, The Wrestler is an original and refreshing "true to life" tale. One of the best films I've seen this year. Great performances. Worth seeing. I'd write more but I think you should just see it (and maybe bring a hankerchief).


On a side note - I found the cinematography brilliantly inquisitive and stylistic without being too overt. Really propells the emotion and storyline in my opinion.
