- Edinburgh Film Festival: Solitary fragments or part of social experience?
  Posted by Sandyenglish
  In Blind Mountain director Li Yang takes a frank and angry look at sex slavery in rural China. The practice of buying wives was abolished following the Chinese revolution in 1949. By the late 1980s it had revived to the extent that many tens of thousands of women are annually sold as wives.

- An Artist and His Sub Surrender in Brooklyn
  Posted by Shemuses from New York Times
  At slack tide off Red Hook, Brooklyn, there are usually lots of things floating in the water, most of which you would not want to touch without the help of a good hazmat suit. But just after sunrise yesterday, something truly strange was bobbing there in the shallows near Pier 41: a submarine fashioned almost completely from wood, and inside it a man with an obsession.

- Graffiti goes six-figure legit
  Posted by Shemuses from Globe and Mail
  If a cop had walked in, the audience might well have scattered. On a drizzly evening this past spring, Montreal's most imaginative – and usually, for good reason, elusive – graffiti artists were assembling in the exposed-brick, well-lit rooms of the city's Yves Laroche Gallery. They were there to pay tribute to American “billboard liberation” artist Ron English, whose show was opening that night.

- Two novels about America's future: writers need a new perspective
  Posted by Sandyenglish
  The Road by Cormac McCarthy, New York: Random House, 2006, 287 pp. The Pesthouse by Jim Crace, New York: Doubleday, 2007, 255 pp. These two recent novels, different in quality, attitude and impact, both depict a bleak and miserable fictional future for the United States in which human relations have become thoroughly degraded.

Film: Where is Osama bin Laden?

Morgan Spurlock never ceases to impress me… i just saw Super Size Me, which was amazingly insightful, and now he’s making a documentary that investigates the war on terrorism? well done indeed
