one sentence reviews #009 - Turn The River
Phenomenal acting, phenomenally written, only regret is the lack of Paul Newman. Turn The River - Famke Jannsen (X-MEN) delivers an affecting, gritty portrayal of a hustler using cards and pool to fund a new life with her young son who lives with her former husband. Type - Narrative

Talk about best one night stand ever… Medicine For Melancholy - This Engaging, lyrical film follows the relationship of two African-American twenty-somethings, in the wake of a one-night stand, against the background of the indie scene in San Francisco. Type - Narrative
one sentence reviews #007 - Maybe In The...
Beautifully photographed, stunning visuals, plot a little lacking. Maybe In The Springtime - A hard-working mother begins to understand her daughter’s love life. Type - Short
one sentence reviews #006 - The New Year Parade
Have these actors ever acted before, has this writer ever written dialogue before, how were they able to use two elliott smith songs on the soundtrack? The New Year Parade - A pair of teenage siblings cope with the divorce of their parents in this Altmanesque film. Type - Narrative
one sentence reviews #005 - The Linguists
I now feel like such a slacker for only speaking one language. The Linguists - Linguists David Harrison and Gregory Anderson scour the world recording languages on the brink of extinction and salvaging the cultures they represent. Type - Documentary

The Tenth Dimension →
elainecarroll:A “simple” explanation of dimensions 1 through 10. I didn’t make it past 4. Anyone who is intruiged by this, I would suggest buying Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions for $1 (or, if you don’t mind reading books online - download the PDF from google for free). As a novella written over 100 yrs ago, by a non mathmatician, it’s theories hold remarkably well with the...

Revision sells album on USB flash drive →
The band Revision is from Ithaca New York and they are playing at my school on Sunday. They are playing at an Earth Day event sponsored by the student group I am a member of, Husky Energy Action Team or HEAT. I had never heard of these guys so I decided to look them up online and listen to a few of their songs, as to be familiar with their music before I see them on Sunday. While navigating their...
convo from last night @ the HEAT meeting
director: …so make sure, if you have any glass jars to bring them in for our event on Earth Day. We’ll be filling them up with dirt and planting seeds in them.
random know-it-all: you mean soil
me (aside to dave): what is the difference between dirt and soil anyway?
dave (after a look of serious deliberation): dirt is spelled differently

Watchboringloser: “Hi, I Killed The World” - Vimeo style. NEXT PROJECT! After careful deliberation I have decided that this video IS actually funnier than the Deniro video, although they both made be laugh hysterically. I hope there are many more to come in the series of Hi, I Killed The World. I thought it was just a coincidence that everything I’ve been finding on the internet has been about...
Watchelainecarroll: This one is my favorite. vincentpeone: Robert De Niro Back in Time 2: Hide and Seek. I think the action-packed second installment has some of the most fun moments in the series. The monologue still kills me every time- I wonder if I’ll think it’s as funny when I visit the real Frank home in Amsterdam next week! Theme for 2008: Viral Time travel

While this woman has her hands in my mouth, scraping plague with tools that look like they belong in a psych ward, I start thinking about the generation I am living in and what a bizarre time it is to be growing up. With the advent of such sophisticated and low cost computers, communication has completely changed. And then I started thinking about trying to raise a child in such an enviornment...

I guess I never realized how dependent on my phone I really am. Yesterday I left my phone at work and didn’t notice until I stepped foot into my apartment. Now granted I only live a 30 minute subway ride away from where I work, but regardless I wasn’t making the trek back to Cambridge. The first issue I ran into was making calls. OK, this is obvious but without a LAN line in my...
