Dinner & A Movie: Fried Green Tomatoes
“The girls” and I embarked upon dinner and a movie in this past Friday. Our intention was to make VeganYumYum’s fried green tomatoes and watch the movie Fried Green Tomatoes. But a long agenda of topics to be addressed on top of multiple bottles of carefully selected wine, and you got the hotbed of monkey-wrench [...]
Another Inconvenient Truth
I had to write a film review for An Inconvenient Truth for my Topics in Environmental Health course. It was easy to write because I had a lot to say about the film, mostly about the huge hole it has in it which was recently brought to light again by Moby. I cannot abstain from [...]
My Blueberry Nights
Blueberry banana muffins, blueberry scones a la Vegan Brunch and a Jude Law napkin: The Greatest.
Food, Inc.
I went to see Food, Inc.‘s opening last night. The documentary from filmmaker Robert Kenner plays as a kind of supermarket expose while touching upon the many important food issues hidden behind the bright aisles and familiar labels: genetic engineering, foodbourne illnesses, factory farming and its environmental impacts and the political superpowers who control food [...]
2001: A Spiritualized Odyssey
I think the Almighty Sound is a band from Minneapolis. Despite several webpages I am still not sure. Anyhow, they created 2001: A Spiritualized Odyssey, unique film project that pairs Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey with the J. Spaceman’s space rock. The coupling is a fantastic fit, a higher brow Wizard of Oz/Dark Side. Spiritualized compliments [...]

Who’s scruffy looking?
I was 5 hours away from a full day of juice fasting when the celebrations on Endor ended. After Episodes IV, V and VI, Darth Vader’s pyre alight and stormtrooper helmets now percussion instruments, the Star Wars Juice Fasting Marathon was over. We had come so far. But the morning’s enthusiasm had waned mid-day. Christmas crafting [...]
OVER THE LINE!! D.I.Y. Lebowski Fest
On the same eve the official New York Lebowski Fest was starting off, a group of motley misfits celebrated D.I.Y. style in Long Island City’s unsuspecting Maric Lanes. Far cheaper than the official fest’s bowling party in Times Square, sponsored, fittingly, by Kahlua, Maric gave us 5+ hours of bowling for the discounted rate of [...]
Fox In the Snow: X-Files Midnight Madness
Seeing the new X-files movie on opening morning at the midnight showing, I expected I’d be in good company. Mulders & Scullys scattered about the theater, we waited for our old friends. And we were not dissappointed. This movie is for X-files fans and Chris Carter took every chance to delight us, even after the [...]
“I am the (vegan banana bran) Muffin”
In the resurgence of Twin Peaks fever that has swept up me and my peers, I type this blog swaying with the eerie rhythm of The Pink Room. With such sexiness, one must look left to a heavily pixelated Jacques and Laura for more. Here are my Twin Peaks “I am the (vegan banana bran) [...]
My Siam Nights
Escaping the relentless heat of Bangkok, I spent the entire day at the movies theaters in the gigantic malls that surround Siam, the city’s shopping hub. A triple feature! Though I intended to sneak into my second and third films, they do things a bit different in Thailand. When you buy your ticket you have [...]
