That was fast! The ink is barely dry on yesterday's post and the Tribeca Film Festival has already announced the rest of their feature film lineup for this year's edition, which runs from April 22-May 3. A few quick picks: Blank City . Celine Danhier's doc examines "the DIY independent film movement...

Conventional wisdom unequivocally asserted that the only Best Foreign Language Film Oscar nominee to hold a candle to Waltz with Bashir was France’s The Class - but that even that movie was hardly as technically groundbreaking or thematically poignant as Israel’s nominee. Regardless, The...

The parties and the event itself were plenty fun on Sunday, but as folks who followed along at home know, the Bagger did not have a good night when it came to the Oscar ballot. He got off to a lousy start, blowing the first two awards (damn that Penelope Cruz)....

The morning was fine--had coffee with my landlord which was lovely. He bonjoured just about every other person that walked by and he knew. He talked abo...

Mother and Father are on a bus tour of Valencia and will probably get some tasty paella tonight, whilst I opted out and am here in the hotel room posting here. WHY? That's a damn good question.
