Allen is still living and was able to cast h

Twilight--2,000 plus shows sold out, and Summit peaks

When they were here in the heat of the summer of 2007 making a mixed martial arts drama they then called Get Some with Sean Faris and Cam Gigandet and Djimon Hounsou, Summit Entertainment was but a start up. They'd released the delightful Irish musical Once, but were otherwise unknown. But the producers working with the studio back then were dreaming big. They hoped they had their breakout gamble, a new Karate Kid. That didn't happen. Not quite, anyway. With Twilight, which also features Cam G

It Still Moves

I first heard of Amanda Petrusich’s book It Still Moves: Lost Songs, Lost Highways, and the Search for the Next American Music from Largehearted Boy’s Book Notes.  I was intrigued by the author’s musical selections.  I like music.  I’m interested in finding out more about the “next American music.”  I picked up the book. Petrusich mentions early in the book: It is my perpetual and unmistakable failure as a music critic that I am infinitely more interested in personal details than in studio

Budget-Friendly Gifts for the Holidays November 20, 2008 Posted by: Dana S. Budget schmudget. Who has one for the holidays this year?

Beeline Interview: Artist Ernest Concepcion

Ernest is one of my favourite artists and I’m so happy he took time out of his busy Fall schedule to chat. His drawings/paintings always make me feel like I’m in the head of a little boy imagining war and anime, love and friendship - which is a good thing. That child-like quality plus the engrossing detail in his work creates a cinematic feeling. Each time I look at one of Ernest’s pieces, I see something new and am engaged in a new epic adventure. Check out his show, or even better, drop b

New Music: Little Dragon - Fortune

Little Dragon - Fortune Little Dragon’s 2007 self titled album stays on constant rotation in the iPod. It’s the type of album that you fall in love with from day one and never let go of again. Having that said, when I feel this way about an artists’ first album, I usually get anxious about their sophomore release. I’ve been dissapointed so many times by artists who either try to be more “pop” or forget that classic sound that made them famous whenever they get back into the studio for the

An Ex-Spook Hustles in Kurdistan

Over at Mother Jones, Laura Rozen tells the story of Shlomi Michaels, a former Israeli commando trying his damnedest to hustle business in Iraqi Kurdistan. In Rozen's telling, Michaels has "a habit of popping up, Zelig-like, at the nexus of foreign policy and the kinds of businesses that thrive in times of war -- security contracting, infrastructure development and postwar reconstruction, influence and intelligence brokering." It's an interesting profile of the kind of influence-peddler who t

The Charlie Rose of Nanotech Talk Shows?

I was excited to see that there was a new video talk show dedicated solely to the subject of nanotechnology. The new interview series is called Nanotech Today and is available both for download and real-time viewing on InTimeTV.com. As the brief introduction to the show describes, the program brings together two 21st Century technologies (some might say, the two most over-hyped technologies of the new century): Internet TV and Nanotech. But I knew, after my experiences with various Podcasts and
