Congrats to “La Grande Bellezza.”

It is an amazing Fellini-esque film and symphonic soundtrack, about a 65 year old mid-life crising Italian writer looking for inspiration, who finds himself on a spiritual journey forced to look at his past, present, and future.
“Rush” deserves more credit. It is based on a true story about two r...

“People learn to hate. They c...
What happens to kids when they don’t have parents who support them, to bring them on casting calls, or soccer practice, or ballet lessons? Who makes sure their homework gets done and that they are eating healthy?
1.3 million kids in the US are homeless and, surprisingly enough, for many of them, it is out of their own volition. Most of the time they are running away from something, escaping a painful situation that they can not bear; abuse, bullying, loss, or addi...
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” resonates so well with both adults and teens because it is honest. Sadly enough, many of the politics from “The Capitol” in the second film are much like corporate politics and media events from everyday life; from work place politics, to surveillance, to war, PTSD, revolution, fighting to be yourself, to survival, the way powerful people react when they feel threatened, to who you know, to control and manipulation with life and death ...

“In August, 2008, 18 mountain climbers reached the top of K2. 48 hours later, 11 people were dead. While memorials paid tribute to those killed, there were also condemnations about ‘the why.’ Why do these athletes risk everything to reach a place humans are simply not meant to go? With breathtaking cinematog...

“The Gaslight Cafe” was an American coffee house located in the basement of 116 MacDougal Street in Greenwich Village. The Gaslight (alternatively known as “The Village Gaslight”) ope...
