FIELD NOTES

» Night Owl & Early Bird - We have been hearing a lot about art in Austin, Texas, recently. We're actually going to feature another exhibition at this very gallery on Monday, but first we just wanted to share the cute image for their second annual fundraiser.

CINEMA

» The Ghost Writer - Pierce Brosnan does his best Tony Blair grin in Roman Polanski's first post-extradition film, "a thriller with topical ambitions: it takes place in a jittery, bomb-fearing Britain and America, where the weary rituals of security screenings refuse to let the characters or the audience relax."

FIELD NOTES

» Not Knots 2010 - Think the knitting trend from the mid-00s has gone? Think again. This weekend the creatives at Cabinet magazine are turning their art space over to a new workshop on "knots, knitting, and string figures." Not only will attendees be given access to string, they'll be plied with twisted baked goods and tasty wine as well.

LA CINEMA FILM + REVIEW

CINEMA

CINEMA

» A Million In the Morning - "A documentary about a Movie Watching World Championship wherein Richard Simmons was abused, a guy hallucinated a beagle crawling up a plant, a bunny head was used as a weapon 78 times, and the guys who made it got fired."

CINEMA

» Red Cliff - Flaming arrows, gunpowder and catapulting bombs? Check. Hand-to-hand combat? Check. Ridiculous swordfights, extreme horseback riding, and biological warfare? Check. This massive historical epic from John Woo has great parts, but it all adds up to a lackluster sum.

CINEMA

» Proceed and Be Bold! - The radical, often shocking images and slogans that jump from the surface of Amos Paul Kennedy, Jr.'s prints belie the layered, meticulously machined nature of his letterpress printing. Three Chicago-based filmmakers document these contradictions with a relish inspired by its subject, a man who embraces life's beauty and complexities with all his creative energy.

CINEMA

» Rudo y Cursi - In the latest film from Y Tu Mama Tambien screenwriter Carlos Cuaron, crossover stars Gael Garcia and Diego Luna double up on the yokel-gone-bigtime gag (think Kingpin or Waterboy, set in Mexico) with mixed results.

[09.15.2009 by Adrian Perez]

CINEMA

» Inglourious Basterds - Brutal and comedic, revisionist and historically anecdotal, pop-lite and artistically sound, the latest film in Quentin Tarantino's canon is truly a celebration of the creative joy and raw power of cinema.
