Today marks the American tradition of Thanksgiving, or as many have come to see it, the moment we, as a nation, are allowed to show our Christmas cheer without being mercilessly ridiculed by all the cool kids and curmudgeons.

Melancholia documents the days before our Earth collides with a planet of the same name. Its first ten minutes are a dreamscape, slow motion images of space, our protagonists, and the Earth’s destruction. These are ten minutes of cinematic eye porn, beautifully shot and rendered. They are also ten dreadfully sluggish minutes, and even when the slow-motion is turned off and the film’s narrative begins, Melancholia never shakes this very measured and leisure pace. It, of cour...

Are you sick of all those Christmas markets that sell the same boring things? Would you like to sell some of your vintage clothing or handmade items?

Rum means one thing to me: truffles. Squishy spheres of chocolate goodness, coated in chocolate vermicelli. Actually, rum means two things: truffles and Mojitos. Maybe you could add pirates to that. So, yes, rum makes me think of three things: truffles, Mojitos and pirates.The point is that I’m no rum connoisseur; my main adjective for describing rum would be “rummy”. So, I took a couple of hours on Friday night to get to know rum better. That’s how I found myself in a candle-lit wine ...

I grew up on Country Music. No, I did not grow up on a farm, but the small town in Northern California I lived in for over 15 years of my life was traditionally a farming town.

An Almodovar film is a special thing. They exist outside the spectrum of normal story telling. Always riveting and unexpected, they are pieces constructed of so many layers, that they keep giving and giving with each revisit. His latest, The Skin I Live In, is not the type of film Almodovar, famously championed as a director for women since his 1988 film Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, has become famous for. It comes from a much more sinister place. It’s a ...
