The Kids Are All Right has a cool title. All right  as in a concession to the fact that children come first and are always right? All right as in they turned out okay? All right as in all from the right wing, conservative camp? Lisa Cholodenko's film is a gently humourous melodrama that is something of a political statement without overtly being one. It's something of a miracle that this small film got nominated for Best Picture. Catherine Shoard of the UK Guardian is convinced the film has not a chance in hell ( SEE this ) of winning, though. The movie is great because, finally, it's a gay film in which nobody dies. This is a daring feat in itself (consider Philadelphia : Tom Hanks dies of AIDS after listening to opera with Denzil Washington; Brokeback Mountain : Jake Gyllenhaal is murdered in the desert leaving Heath Ledger to sniff Jake's bloody shirt to get high; Kiss of the Spider Woman : John Hurt gets killed after going Latino in prison, Milk : Sean Penn finall

True Grit is a better movie than you expect it to be. And it's truly great. It's not a remake but rather a reboot. A second adaptation of a 1968  bildungsroman by Charles Portis. At first blush, this is not material you expect to be a right fit for the Cohen brothers ( No Country for Old Men , Fargo ). There's Jeff Bridges in an eye-patch-wearing role first taken up by John Wayne. Bridges does not play Wayne here. He's Jeff Bridges playing Rooster Cogburn, a boozy hired vigilante with an apparent soft spot for little girls. Also with a soft spot for little girls is Matt Damon, playing LaBoeuf, who, with Cogburn, hunt down the murderer of Hailee Steinfeld's dad. There are enough Freudian impulses going on here to easily take over what could have been a simple wild wild American west movie. Instead, the Cohen brothers go for edge, for character, beauty, intensity and, ultimately, the bittersweet and sublime. It's like No Country for Old Men but with spanking! U

A quick round-up of books am dipping into at the moment discloses: Plan B by Paul Muldoon (photometry with photographs by Norman McBeath), Selected Poems by Sylvia Plath, Running the Dusk by Christian Campbell (which was shortlisted for the Forward Prize for best first book of 2010); The Four Questions of Melancholy by Tomaž Šalamun (because five questions would have been intolorable); Veil by Bob Woodward (the story of the CIA's secret wars of the 1980s); Art in the Caribbean by Anne Walmsley and Sybil by Benjamin Disreali.  Here is a poem from Campbell's Running the Dusk which can be found at the publisher's website : Iguana  for A.T. My friend from Guyana was asked in Philadelphia if she was from “Iguana.” Iguana, which crawls and then stills, which flicks its tongue at the sun. In History we learned that Lucayans ate iguana, that Caribs (my grandmother’s people) ate Lucayans (the people of Guanahani). Guiana (the colonial way, with an i, southernmost of the Cari

Some of you may have seen a performance of  my play for family audiences about the importance of honeybees at the Bug Out Festival at the Fernbank Museum of Natural History in Atlanta last August and September. A school version of Honeybees Are Important! will be performed Friday, February 25th at 11 a.m. – presented by Young Audiences at the Rich Auditorium at the Woodruff Arts Center in Atlanta. Michael Hickey, Jerilynn Bedingfield and I (Sandra Hughes) utilize masks, music, drama, mime and dance to encourage students to experience, understand, participate and learn about the importance of honeybees to our food supply - as well as their important role as pollinators of  the food eaten by animals. In 2006 after working to help dying honeybees at the Findhorn Foundation in Scotland (with support from the Ford Foundation and Alternate ROOTS) I returned to the U.S. and founded The Bee Project with support from Gateway Performance Productions. The  Bee Project exists to raise awareness

It was Carla in the Parlor with a bust of Mahler. That's the only CLUE that I can do that'll rhyme that well and that I can spell. She put that porcelain right upside his head, and in the blink of an eye... Colonel Mustard was dead. She escaped out the back in her slinky black dress. Leaving Harold and Ollie to clean up the mess.
