"Way back in the days when the grass was still green
and the pond was still wet
and the clouds were still clean,
and the song of the Swomee-Swans rang out in space...
one morning, I came to this glorious place."

Last spring, Coastal Conservation League Director Dana Beach started writing a song to the tune of “Secret Agent Man” about a superhero of “climate change.” Now it’s a full-on production — a six-minute music video written and directed by local artist David Boatwright, filmed and edited by Justin Nathanson. The results are hilarious. Local yogi […]

This movie looks pretty awesome. I could watch films like Sprout and A Brokedown Melody all day long, because they tell stories, play great music, and show the world’s best getting barrels and dropping into monsters.
Watch the trailer here.

The Big (Black) Chill
June 26, 2007 – 9:20 am
One of the ’80’s iconic films, The Big Chill, is being remade with an all-black, modernized cast. The movie will use the original script as a template, but update the story for a group of friends who came of age in the ’90s. Regina King, actress of “24″ and “Enemy of the State” fame, will […]

Alternative Press reported yesterday that an Iggy Pop biopic called The Passenger will soon be made, under the direction of Nick Gomez. Focusing on Iggy’s early days with the Stooges, it will feature Elijah Wood in the title roll. Okie Doke…
