Sub City New York

It's been years since I've lived in New York City, however I find this visual poem (by Sarah Klein) a potent tribute to anyone who delights in finding the wonder in the most commonplace of journeys.

It's a short film - a visual poem - about that moment in New York when you emerge from the subway and find yourself in a new and sometimes unexpected world.

Movie Review Update: "Black Swan" is a mother's worst nightmare.

-
(Note: At the time of publishing this my oldest kid was barely 13.) Are you a parent? Do you love your daughter?  Then do not ever take her to see this movie.  Ever. For the record, it may be the holidays.  True, they release ballet films during the holidays, but "Black Swan" is no "dance movie." Frankly, it's not even a very good thriller.

It's gone from looking like it was about looking for true love, to, at best, resembling a very bad Benny Hill skit.  Again, and again and again... The amount of real effort put into to this season seems to have dwindled, and it shows.   There's no real "dating" going on at all that we can see.  This makes the premise of the title of the series just seem obsolete. I don't get what is going on here at all anymore. Even in the first ten minutes of the show the amount  of pure drivel is astonishing.  Why should we care about some of the random, stupid things Eric and Donny are talking about here?  Childhood photos chit chat?  Is it cool to say that an aunt looks hot in a photo?  Wearing white makes you appear chubby.  On and on... The first funn...
