Oma & Bella – Alexa Karolinski, Germany/USA
Oma & Bella points a camera into the lives of two Holocaust survivors who remained in Germany after WWII.

Shadows of Liberty – Jean-Philippe Tremblay, UK
Knowledge is power, and that power is far to great to be only in the hands of a few who don’t concern themselves with their countries, their societies, their species, their planet only their wallets… I knew this one would make me mad. Phew. Mad doesn’t begin to describe. Those who know me know…
The Job – Didier Cros, France
In a world where unemployment rates climb as the global economy falls, a person’s sense of self-worth can begin to come more about whether they have a job, or not, rather than what that job may actually entail. Being gainfully employed is less about being happy in life, and more about the ability to…
A Safe Bet
I’m a Jason Statham fan. Have been since I saw Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. When you go into one of his films, well, anything after the first Transporter movie (an admittedly guilty pleasure series for me), you know exactly what you’re going to get.

Carving The Light – Publisher’s Weekly Review – ABNA 2012
Carving The Light did not advance to the ABNA semifinal round this morning, but as a quarterfinalist, it did receive a short review from Publisher’s Weekly – which is pretty freaking amazing, and more than I’d hoped for when I entered. After reading other contestants’ reviews, I was worried about what mine would say….
Star Trek: Phase II – A Few Revisions
Alright, so now I’m a little further into this well-put together fan series, and wanted to update my previous statements. Cawley and co. obviously felt that the first Scotty didn’t work out, and have since recast him with a moustached gentleman who has our favorite engineer’s burr down pat. The stories have improved from episode…
The Killing – Day 18 – Ghosts Of The Past
Gah! This show! It just keeps getting better and better every week! I’m finding that there is so much going on now – with everyone – that it’s really no longer about who killed Rosie Larsen anymore. Yes, I want to find out, and my brain is still spinning on all the new information…
