Video

• "Better Luck Tomorrow:" An intense and gripping black comedy.

  Better Luck Tomorrow" slowly grabs you by the collar and never lets go, not until you sit back at the end and watch the credits roll, dumbfounded at the intensity and rawness of the movie.

• WOMAN WARRIOR FA MU LAN

  I just finished reading “The woman warrior: Memoirs of a girlhood among ghosts” by Maxine Hong Kingston. The story, like many stories about English-as-a-second-language immigrants, talks about the difficulty of her voice. She has trouble talking, knowing what to say. She even is told that her voice is wrong, like a squeaking duck

• The Dump

  Ah, the dump. I remember the dump as a child. Dumps in the 70's, 80's and 90's in Alaska were a big pit in the ground. I am sure that many people bypassed the dump altogether and just threw their stuff in a ravine, on or off their property, whatever. But we did not do that. Keep America clean! or something...

• Godsmack: A Slap in the Right Direction

  Listening to this particular brand of alternative metal probably resides somewhere near the bottom of the list of things I’d rather be doing… somewhere between lacerating my own kidneys and listening to Sinead O'Connor wailing about her inability to find happiness regardless of what fade she tries.
