Finding out about Egypt February 4, 2011

Like many Americans, up until this point Egypt was a country on the peripheral of my imagination. It was a country in which I remember in adventure films. Indiana Jones, The Mummy. Camels, sand and the pyramids. That’s it. Even in this post-9/11 age, Egypt was in the background. It was always portrait in the [...]

What if “Akira” was created by Americans June 23, 2010

Ok, so I saw this post on Japan Probe and I thought it was hilliarious. It’s a parody of the upcoming american adaption of the classic masterpiece “Akira”.

SIFF Review : Devil’s Town May 27, 2010

Now that I’ve seen the film, I can say that it wasn’t what I expected. From the trailer I saw, I was expecting a european sex comedy where the characters got into wacky situations.

Damn Yankee! March 11, 2008

When I woke up today, I thought today was going to be Monday, not “Eliot Spitzer paid four grand for a prostitute and got caught” day. But from the moment this morning, when Lisa, Grist’s Senior Editor, sent me an instant message with the New York Times link next to the question “Have you seen [...]
