Denver’s Bump & Grind offers delicious drag fun
“Hello, I’m Nasty and I’ll be your bitch today” is the kind of greeting you can expect at Bump & Grind Café in Denver. A group of women came in shortly after my party was seated and Secretia Pheromones, another member of the colorful staff, yelled out “Hello lesbians!” Needless to say, my guests and I could not wipe the smiles from our faces. … Read entire article »

‘A Serious Man’ is a serious masterpiece from the Coen Brothers
Let me start this review off by letting you know up front it will be pretty biased. I absolutely love the Coen Brothers. They are by far my favorite directors and can do no wrong in my eyes (I was even able to find enjoyment in The Ladykillers!). Seriously though, all biased opinions aside, their latest effort, A Serious Man, is a work of pure genius. … Read entire article »

Mini characters fight a large scale apocalypse in Shane Acker’s ’9′
The film 9 was first an Academy Award winning short of the same title by director Shane Acker. The short took the non-verbal Wall-E route while the new seventy-nine-minute feature consists of an entire ensemble. Although the voice acting adds to the experience of the film, the action, mystery, and originality of 9 evokes what a post apocalyptic world might look like for robotic rag-dolls. The vision and excution is memorable, but the western style of story telling deviates this new feature from the original charm of the short. … Read entire article »

Taking Woodstock aims for the unreachable
Based on the trailer for Taking Woodstock, you might think it’s a comedy. Casting Demetri Martin as the lead might cement this assumption. The film may also seem like an epic biographical piece set to revolutionize the genre of setting films during the “Woodstock Era”.

Ang Lee and James Schamus’ attempt to conceptualize the memoir “Taking Woodstock: A True Story of a Riot, a Concert, and a Life” wasn’t a total success; nor total failure. … Read entire article »

Elliot gave his opinion on the subject at hand by stating “love is most nearly itself when here and now cease to matter.” Basically, with the few clicks of a mouse, you can easily find out what lots of other people think love is.
