fashion, turn to the left...
We just got an American Apparel in Hell's Kitchen, which I'm pretty sure is one of the seven signs.

no turkish delight this time...
Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian claimed the top spot at the box-office this past weekend faster than you can sing "Onward, Christian Soldiers," but regardless of the fierce competition in the form of Indiana Jones this coming weekend, I guarantee word of mouth kills this rather dark follow up.
The first cinematic trip to Narnia was a magical treat that made me feel like a kid again. This new Narnia left me completely bummed to be an adult.
For the Narnian impaired I offer a brief synopsis to save you the $11.
Deeply saddened by their regret to leave Narnia in the first place, the Pevensie kids are sucked back to the land of heavy religious overtones only to find it's 1300 years later and all the Narnians have been exiled to the ass-end of town.
The new rulers of Middle Earth, er, Narnia are blatantly Spanish looking jerks who attempt the assassination of an over-privileged Prince. After this Prince Caspian discovers the "bedtime stories" of the original inhabitants of Narnia are actually true, he joins forces with the kids, a talking badger, a grumpy midget and an adorable mouse with that bad American accent Eddie Izzard does on The RIches.
There's a battle and a lot of people, horses, horse-people, people-horses and talking woodland creatures are killed in a PG/rated E for Everyone fashion.
Everyone laments, Peter pouts and Lucy goes searching for the resurrection of Lord Savior Aslan the Lion.
Meanwhile Prince Caspian is tempted by the Satanic verses of the White Witch, once again Tilda Swinton outacting everyone in the film. Someone sticks a sword in her ice and she shatters.
Another battle turns into a war. Aslan finally shows up and kills all the bad guys. And the Pevensie kids must return to war-torn London presumably on the eve of the city's "Longest Night."
The credits roll over this amazingly somber Regina Spektor tune guaranteed to send every viewer into a funk of depression for the rest of the weekend....

everything old is new again
and there's nothing I can do
since Michael Bay has more power than me...
Why do they keep remaking the good movies?
conspiracy theory...
Isn't it interesting that just before what has been called the worst season for allergies, Zyrtec goes over the counter?
don't laugh
she might bite your head off...
So I get an email from Craig with a web link and the caption this is the most insane thing I've ever seen, which really cracks me up not because it's Isabella Rossellini's new 8 part short film series called GREEN PORNO, but because at least two months ago, I mentioned to him that Isabella had done a series of movies where she acts out different insects in full insect costumes having sex.
No wait, it gets better. I found out about it from Isabella herself during a promo shoot I was involved in.
But hearing about it and actually seeing it are two VERY different experiences and thanks to the good people of Sundance Channel, you can click on the image of Isabella humping a praying mantis to have that experience.
I recommend not eating before or during the Earthworm segment.

trips are for kids...
I've just come down from the movie trip that is Speed Racer, which I saw two days ago, but think my brain has fully settled enough to comment on.Speed Racer is a 2 and a half hour kaleidoscope remixed in a CGI blender. The visuals are stunning, the art direction is impeccable (easily the most controlled color scheme since Dick Tracy), and the soundtrack is loud as hell. It also has a surprising amount of plotting, and takes pit stops to work on what possible back-story these characters could have. That part of it especially shouldn't work. I mean, one of the main characters is a monkey. But in the hands of the Wachowski brothers, it works wonders.
At its best, it's a familiar enough reworking of one of the greatest Japanese cartoons of all time. At its worst, it teeters into The Flintstones movie territory, or Super Mario Brothers.
c'mon and shine...
Forget the Naked Brothers Band or those Jonas Brothers. These kids really rock...
