Kseniya Simonova ~ ARTISTIC GENIUS

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)

NETWORK - One of the best films ever made

I recently saw the film NETWORK again. It is phenomenal. As relevant as ever (maybe more with our current affairs). If you have never seen it, or haven't watched in a while, or just finished it I urge you to view this work of genius. Rob

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

Jacques Dutronc - brilliant!

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.

GREAT SONG! "Underwater Moonlight" - The Soft Boys

I wish I could find a more exciting video but the song speaks for itself...

Synecdoche New York - review - by Robert Kolar

Synecdoche New York is an ambitious piece lost within a swirl of great ideas that tend to go nowhere. Despite some great performances (namely Samantha Morton and Catherine Keener) there doesn't seem to be much of an arch to the whimsical tale. It seems Kauffman is indulged by his 'spaghetti bowl' of ideas and splashes them into an intricate collage of ambiguity. His imagery and dream-scape seem ungrounded, undeveloped and as a result feel unconsummated. It's as if Kauffman was trying to stuff every innovative, unexpected, or esoteric idea he hasn't (or... has) used into one film. With more focus and a developed arch for Seymour Hoffman's character this piece would have a lot more to offer. Sadly, Seymour Hoffman spends basically the whole movie in despair or tears. As always he gives a believable and realist performance but ends up being a bit monotone with the direction and writing. Visually, the film is triumphant. The photography and aesthetics are strong and engaging. For most of the film I felt engulfed by curiosity and playful optics. However, without the proper development and fluidity of storyline I was left deprived of anything substantial to take with me. Read into it all however you like but it for me it unraveled into an artsy hodge podge (and I usually love that sort of thing). Kauffman is endlessly talented but should possibly keep things slightly simpler and centered. Maybe using several strong mind bending ideas as opposed dozens that scatter like lost marbles.

"NEW" is back (posted by Rob)

A fabulously modern and adventurous experience is happening at the SOSE theater in Silverlake very soon. The acclaimed play, "NEW" will be up Monday-Thursday night performances beginning October 27th through November 13th.

OCTOBER -      27th, 28th, 29th, 30th (mon- thurs.)
NOVEMBER -    3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th (mon thurs.)
                                10th, 11th, 12th, 13th (mon-thurs.)

@ THE SON OF SEMELE THEATER - 3301 Beverly Blvd. Los Angeles (near Echo Park/Silverlake) 90038

In this 'new' series of performances, Rachel Kolar & Lauren Brown have added a second and revelatory ACT which takes the two main characters further into a world surrealism and exploration.

I urge you to see this play as it is bizarre, fun, graphic, unique and relevant to the world we live in today.  It features the music of Hecuba, Rainbow Arabia, and Black Hole Oscillators...  a few of the great emerging avant garde electronic, experimental musical outings in Los Angeles at the moment.   

A summary of ACT 1-
In a post-apocalyptic setting, two young and flamboyant socialites, Rachel Kolar & Lauren Brown, are depressed by the bleak state of the aftermath of war. No longer is there room for extravagance, no longer are there parties and delusions of grandeur. In attempts to glorify the need for excessive materialism they devise a movement of neon colors, empty consumerism, absurd rules of engagement and foppish costumes. When their movement takes a turn too dark for the pretty pair of dipsomaniacal flamingos, chaos ensues. What is left for our sad debutantes? The only thing left after destruction, to build a bomb to blow up the world!

COAST TO COAST (posted by Rob)

Recently I have been listening to one of the most eye and mind opening programs I have ever listened to. George Noory and other hosts interview intelligent, articulate and forward thinking individuals in subjects of spirituality, government, ET's, healing, psychology, astronomy, alternative history, news, and much more. If you can please listen. It will absolutely change your life and open your perception. Rob Kolar
