Last weekend we watched a lot of movies. Not sure why, but it probably had to do with some seriously cold San Francisco winter weather.  Ok, first up we saw Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan.   A psychological thriller set in a ballet company doesn’t exactly sound like the...

Last night Kristen and I met up with Tom & Todd.  We had some excellent ramen at Genki Ramen and then headed over to the AMC Van Ness to see the Coen Brothers’ remake of True Grit.  I love westerns and this one is a classic.  I loved this movie. As it was ending I realized that i...

Last week I took my mom to a free screening of Mira Nair’s latest film, The Namesake – which is based off of Pulitzer-Prize winning author Jhumpa Lahiri’s book of the same name. While waiting in line for the film, we were chatting with an elderly caucasian couple. It was a bizarre...

So last night Kristen and I headed down to the Galaxy Theater for a special event: the debut of the film “Quality of Life”. Our old friend Alexis worked on this film for 2 years… so to see this in a big movie theater downtown was amazing. This film is excellent!!! check it out...

We watched two fantastic films this weekend: The Rising – The Ballad of Mangal Pandey – is a spectacular Bollywood historical drama about the Indian Rebellion of 1857. Also known as the Indian Mutiny. This is another Aamir Khan production and if you’ve seen his 2001 Oscar nominated hit...

Yesterday was fun. Kris and I hooked up with a very old friend of ours, Alexis. Thai food and good conversation were followed up by a mad drive across town to the Embarcadero Cinema to see an amazing thriller from South Korea called “OLDBOY”. This movie was intense, insane, disturbing and...
