Crazy Horse ,an erotic documentary on the Parisian Cabaret

Crazy Horse ,an erotic documentary on the Parisian Cabaret by Ron Gilbert All I keep hearing on my mind’s sound track when I watched this documentary by talented director Frederick Wiseman , were the lyrics “you make me crazy”.

This film is a very inside view of the workings of this famed cabaret where all these beautiful dancers are more than just sexy...

NYC Food Film Festival 2010

user
Not only did I procure a press pass for the 4th Annual NYC Food Film Festival on Saturday, June 26th, I actually made it to Brooklyn 2 hrs before the event opened! I will be late for my own funeral, so I always throw myself a mental party when I actually arrive anywhere on time and a bigger party when I'm early! With time to kill, I called my friends that live in Brooklyn Heights - The ones from the Amada post (click link to read). I knew they would be surprised by my being in town; but in ...

user
 The Campus Moviefest collection in the Short Film Corner here at Cannes is filled with color. Chroma, a short film from Meghan Foehl and John Merizalde, is a black-and-white film about the plight of a painter seeking inspiration--inspiration he briefly finds in the one element of color in his otherwise drab and lifeless world: a mysterious woman in a long blue dress. However, as his muse's color fades, so too does his motivation. While this film is visually beautiful--illustrated not only by t...

Women in Film

user
Women in the Arts and their involvement in film, live theatre and television appears to be exacerbated with sex and sexual content. This used to make me a bit furious because it appeared men do not have to go to such extremes to sell, get access or the like. In the wake of American media and marketing, it appears that it is about even but not for the same reasons. Women appear to get sexual to get into the industry or to have better access in the industry, where as men perform sexual jesters, m...
