Plenty of Porno - No Chicken Dogs




Since the red-eye got in on time, I was able to make my first film at 9 am, the Coen Brother A SERIOUS MAN. Unlike many of their recent films, the film featured none of the usual suspects, instead the cast is filled with respected actors from the Yiddish Theatre. Growing up in a fairly religious family that spoke Yiddish, there were references and language that were both familiar and a mystery in this film about a middle aged Physics Professor in the late 1960's who just can't catch a break. UP IN THE AIR, from Jason Reitman is the first film I've seen from the Recession Era. A super premise, George Clooney play's a man who flies all over the nation firing staff for management who can't stomach the evil deed. Lots of people. After Saura's long, long (at least to me) I, DON GIOVANNI we went to our sister company (The Sundance Channel's) fabulous screening of the new season of GREEN PORNO, with the ultra fabulous Isabella Rosselini in attendance - along with a bunch of whacky scientists dressed up as their favorite penises from nature. A crazy, fabulous event.
