Margot at the Wedding

Acclaimed Academy AwardR-nominated writer/director Noah Baumbach (“The Squid and the Whale,” “Kicking and Screaming,”) brings to life a sharply observed portrait of a family in distress. His latest project is an unflinchingly honest story about coming to terms with one’s family and oneself, a journey that is both funny and heartbreaking. The film stars Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Jack Black.

GLASS: a portrait of Philip in twelve parts

In July 2005, filmmaker Scott Hicks started shooting a documentary about the composer Philip Glass to celebrate his 70th anniversary in 2007. Over the next 18 months, Scott followed Philip across three continents - from his annual ride on the Coney Island “Cyclone” roller coaster, to the world premiere of his new opera in Germany and in performance with a didgeridoo virtuoso in Australia.

Allowed unprecedented access to Glass’ working process, family life, spiritual teachers and long time collaborators, Hicks gives us a unique glimpse behind the curtain into the life of a surprising and complex man. “GLASS: a portrait of Philip in twelve parts” is a remarkable mosaic portrait of one of the greatest - and at times controversial - artists of this or any era.

Nike 2008 Olympic Footwear

Nike has designed a whole line of Olympic Footwear… one for every sport in the Beijing 2008 Olympics. And besides the usuals like track and field, basketball, etc… what fascinates me are their designs for things like Gymnastics, Wushu, Kayaking, Wind Surfing, Taekwondo, Equestrian, and Fencing.

Gucci & LV’s Designer Gas Masks

ring on the pollutants and harmful toxins—these Diddo Velema, Gucci and Louis Vuitton collaborative gas-masks are going to make fashionistas want to inhale stuff that’ll kill them. The high-fashioned monogrammed, and diamond encrusted headwear was debuted by Velema at the 2008 Luxury Show in Bucharest, Romania and seem to be reserved for the filthy-rich hypochondriacs. Chemical warfare? No biggie, we’re dyin’ in style.

Water Cube

Beijing National Aquatic Center or Water Cube was officially opened this week. The center will host swimming and diving events at the Beijing 2008 Olympics and will seat 17,000 people. The architect did an amazing job the building looks fantastic. China is preparing for the 2008 Olympics very seriously. I can’t wait for the events to start.
