BREVITY

Tonight, I'm starting a new addition to my blog: one-sentence responses to film, art, performance, etc. I'm thinking of it as a way to track initial thoughts, interactions or tangential associations. If you want to chime in, leave a one-sentence comment.

ATONEMENT

A compelling melodrama that delves into the passions and fears which manipulate our point-of-view.

JUNO

Missing the mark a few times can often lead to hitting the mark eventually.

THERE WILL BE BLOOD

A brilliant indictment of the corporate impulse and manifest destiny, embodied by individual motivation and fulfillment.
