Movie Reviews

The English Surgeon

A good documentary does more to stimulate my mind than the best fictional films. The English Surgeon is above and beyond a spectacular documentary. Most scriptwriters couldn't dare compete with the sheer drama and uncomfortable tension filmmaker Geoffrey Smith captures in his real-life story of English neurosurgeon Henry Marsh, who became fed up with the inability of Ukrainian doctors to treat patients in need of brain operations and decided to do something about it. When a young Ukrainian man needs an operation to remove a tumor in his brain, Doctor Smith is his only hope for long-term survival. Unfortunately for this patient, modern luxuries are nowhere to be found in modern-day Ukraine and the only the way the operation can move forward is by using nothing but local anesthetics to reduce the pain of drilling thru the scull and scraping away the cancerous cells growing on his brain--In other words, doing the entire operation while completely awake and conscious. Beyond the unbelievable situations throughout the film, the simple message of humanitarianism shines.  In today's consumerist smorgasbord of a world we live in, it can be easy to forget the simple things that make being a fellow human being a rewarding experience. This film helps remind us. -Clayton Hauck

Tuesdays Are Famous #18

This week at Beauty Bar was very fun! From Buenos Aires, Argentina, ZZK took over the bar and laid down some fantastic beats. I set up a simple photo booth by the front door using one of the new circular benches. Lighting was simple--one light thru an umbrella. Be sure to RSVP for next weeks fun. Young Josh from Flosstradamus will be in the building, there is no cover and complimentary drinks from 10pm-11pm!

Tuesdays Are Famous #17

A bit of a delay on these photos from Tuesdays Are Famous no doubt, but here they are! We had Mister Joshua and Scotty Brandon in the house on tunes and I set up a simple little photo booth with my Panasonic GF1, a key light thru umbrella and a spotlight on the background wall. Throw in some photoshop actions and there you have it...

Humboldt Park Kickball

I've been playing a child's game (kickball--the official hipster sport.) in Humboldt Park most every Sunday afternoon in Summer for five or six years now. I can't recall exactly how long it's been thru the excessive daytime drinking, beer shotguns, and balls to the head but I can tell you it's been a good time. I generally don't bring my camera along with me since I need to focus on the game and the beer, however, I had a perfect chance to capture a few moments a few weeks back when we had the league all-star game and pinewood derby competition. It was fun, check out the shots!

Wanna Fanta?

I covered a Fanta event at Angels & Kings last Thursday night which turned out to be a crazy good time. We sang some karaoke and drank too much vodka while listening to tunes from White Shadow, Mindnight Conspiracy and a live set from Moneypenny. Thanks to UR Chicago for putting it together!

Pitchfork Photos

I realize Pitchfork happened last weekend and nobody cares about photos from last weekend, but ya know, I shot the fest on assignment for the Chicago Reader and it's never cool to scoop your own client by posting photos before they do. Since they didn't run til Thursday, it wasn't such a big deal to put it off a few more days. On that note, you can see a few of them in the paper (but ehh, they only ran a couple lesser favorites actually, I don't know where that came from it looks pretty good!) or also on their blog. Oh, but of course, you can find them ALL via the links below!

Last Night's DJ Set.

Okay, so it wasn't necessarily last night, but that's what I'm calling this new ongoing topic. I played a show last Thursday night at Let's Get Weird at evilOlive. It was a ton of fun and I opened for Will Eastman who is out of DC and was on a bit of a midwest tour, I think. I stuck to mainly a nu disco vibe but tried to mix things up a bit to keep the early evilolive crowd entertained. Thanks again to the KDM dudes for having me! It's always a fun time at their parties.

Set list and mp3 downloads after the jump...
