Marion Cotillard is rocking my world right now. I really liked her in “INCEPTION” and had always heard about her portrayal of Edith Piaf in “La Vie En Rose” but never actually saw the film. I took it as a poetic sign from above that it was time to see the movie when I noticed that Edith Piaf’s song “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien” was used as a pivotal element of the story. Regret is a huge part of the story of “INCEPTION” as Leonardo DiCaprio’s character’s own regrets about what happened between him and his wife Mal (played by…

Simon Christen has made a spectacular time-lapse film of San Francisco. I lived in San Francisco for the first half of 2001 near the corner of Hayes and Divisadero (1/2 block from Alamo Square and the famous strip of homes featured in the opening of “Full House”) and one of my most vivid memories happened early one morning around 6:00am. Me and my roomie/bestie Julie lived on the third floor and I awoke to the sound of the fog horn of San Francisco Bay.

Alan Taylor from ‘The Big Picture’ has curated a mind-blowing collection of photographs from our solar system. I don’t think I would make a good astronaut. I would spend the entire time taking pictures. Take a look at the series here: http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2010/09/around_the_solar_system.html
I am loving “Destination Truth” right now. It’s a series in its fourth season on SyFy and I absolutely can’t get enough of it. The hour-long show is broken in half with 2 thirty-minute segments. The team travels the globe (and I mean the globe) to get to the bottom of the latest monster lurking in the remote northern bushes of Australia, or the ghosts haunting an abandoned mosque deep in the jungle of Indonesia, etc. Here’s a clip of one of my favorite episodes where Josh and his crew venture into the still-radioactive abandoned site of the Chernobyl nuclear…
