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

Blow Up SF

6/26/2009 | San Francisco: I arrived in San Francisco last Friday afternoon and had a day to wander around and hang out before heading over to Rickshaw Stop to shoot Blow Up SF. I spent most of said time with Richie Panic and his friends before meeting up with Ava Berlin in hopes of using her couch to take a quick nap. The nap never happened because an opening slot for me to DJ came up last minute, so we all headed over to the club and I played a few jams before the local DJs took over and got the kids to go crazy. Lazer Sword, Richie Panic, DJ Dials & Marko from Sugarcult all played. Here, you can see all the photographic evidence from the day, which includes plenty of photos of Richie's cat and plenty of photos of Richie himself.. along with more photos of my week in San Francisco to come!

Blow Up, Party Bus & Club 222, SF

Unfortunately for me, my 5 days in San Francisco were severely damaged by a head cold. Instead of going out and partying every night, I mostly just stayed in Tara & Tracy's apartment and watched 30 Rock and Arrested Devolopment. I missed the first night of the Cool Kids / Q-Tip US Tour, which was a total bummer.

I did manage to head out into town one night and have a ton of fun. Friday night got started with a trip on the Blow Up SF Party Bus. Haha, it was totally random and totally fun, aside from the annoying guy who told me he has the same Lacoste polo I was wearing and "rocks it fucking hard." Wardrobe change, please.

After the bus I walked down Market to Club 222 to say hello to a few friends. It was the second time I ended up at this strange, skinny bar. I'm still unsure what I think of the place. There were def some dudes doing lines in the bathroom stall, though, which made it feel like SF.

Back to Blow Up, by now I was rather drunk. To be honest, I got a little too drunk and the night got a bit blurry. Richie Panic and Jesse Jams were DJing and Fernanda was "hosting." I had one too many Vodka Bulls and then the twins and I walked back to their car, which was so not "walking distance" .. probably like a mile away .. with a quick fast food stop for a delicious burrito. And thanks to a gallon or so of water before I went to bed I woke up hangover free the following day!
