Spoken Word Video: Pearl of the Caribbean by La Bruja

Pearl Of The Caribbean
…guayabas, quenepas, bombas y plenas, …wearing chankletas.
I’ve always liked this video of La Bruja performing her spoken word piece, “Pearl of the Caribbean”. She recalls with fond memory the beloved island of her childhood, Puerto Rico. As she summons the various cultural and personal treasures of her youth, she invites [...]

50 Ways to Love Your Neighbor

The simple and practical things seem to escape us when we think of love. We don’t realize that you can love someone even in the seemingly small things: sharing a meal, stories over coffee, a smile, a handshake, a hug, a moment of eye contact where we simply acknowledge each other’s existence with a reverence and respect, knowing that we are together in this thing called Life. If we move passed our self-absorbed individualism into the realization that we are interdependent beings, we can learn how to really love our neighbor, which means everyone. (includes: blood relatives, friends, co-workers, enemies, homeless folks, widows, orphans, refugees, foreigners, prostitutes, drug addicts, sinners, saints, and yes, even that obnoxious loudmouth a few cubicle aisles down from you.) So here is a list of 50 ways to love your neighbour.

Adopt-A-Jesus Movie Coming Out October 2009

Today I came across a link to a trailer of an upcoming documentary called “Adopt a Jesus” which follows around a voluntarily-homeless man, Brandt Russo, a “poverty activist, follower of the way of peace, goofball” who roams the country in a cooking oil-powered old bus with “Can’t Ignore the Poor” written along the side.
I think this [...]

Interview with Stephen McEveety, producer on The Stoning of Soraya M.

Stephen McEveety has produced some of the most compelling and profitable films in American cinema, including some of my favorites: Braveheart and The Passion of the Christ, and more recently, the indie ‘biggie’, Bella. He’s also no stranger to controversy and spectacle because of his involvement in the aforementioned Passion and an upcoming documentary on forgiveness in the aftermath of the Rwandan holocaust (As We Forgive). His latest project is The Stoning of Soraya M., a riveting, sliver-of-life film on the horrible practice of stoning and injustice in post-Islamic revolution Iran.

The Stoning of Soraya M. is based on the true-story account of a woman, Soraya (played by Mozhan Marno, Charlie Wilson’s War), who is condemned to a torturous death at the hands of her own community of family and friends after her husband spreads false accusations throughout the village, simply because he desires to marry a young 14-year-old girl.

I {heart} Sandra Bullock, and The Proposal is an enjoyable rom-com

I just saw “The Proposal”, and I loved it. Among the plethora of predictable romantic comedies in recent movie history, “The Proposal” delivers a funny and improbable love story, headlined by Sandra Bullock (Miss Congeniality) and Ryan Reynolds (Wolverine).

Gargantuan waste of time Land of the Lost illicits few laughs via Will Ferrell

The Land of the Lost sucked.
An egotistical scientist, Dr. Rick Marshall (Will Ferrell, Elf), discovers inter-dimensional time travel, but disgraces himself and his studies on national television into quack-theory oblivion before he can ever test his findings.  After a few years of living in scientific obscurity and depression, Holly (Anna Friel, Pushing Daisies), an attractive [...]

So Twitter is the intersection of ADHD, Myspace, and Facebook? Seems about right.
