Today is the 100th International Women’s Day, which seems especially fitting in light of Kathryn Bigelow taking home the first Best Director Oscar ever won by a woman last night for her excellent Iraq War thriller Hurt Locker. At any rate, the holiday grew out of what used to be a Soviet block celebration known [...]

On this date, a couple days before the February 25 anniversary of the day it was officially renamed the Soviet Army in 1946, some former Soviet block nations celebrate Red Army Day. Though we think of ourselves as socialists rather than full-fledged communists (a distinction some would challenge, no doubt), we have to admit that [...]

After we went to our first 3D movie we had a serious problem with flatness withdrawal, so we kept wearing our flimsy, red and blue 3D glasses for weeks, hoping that our sheer devotion would turn the world into a 3D playground.

While we’re just as ready as the next folks to admit that some of our all-time favorites come from the horror section, it seems fair to say that the vast majority are very poor. That’s certainly what struck us while [...]

While we’re still vague on what President-elect Barack Obama’s WPA (Works Projects/Progress Administration) will end up doing, we sure like the images conjured by these evocations of FDR’s sweeping set of reforms to keep artists and construction workers busy during the Great Depression. In anticipation of great state-sponsored (and therefore more or less propagandist) visual [...]
