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

Sov, French & Holt

Last week I checked out a show at The Metro involving the self-proclaimed "biggest midget in the game," Lady Sovereign along with newcomer sensation Chester French and local rapper Hollywood Holt. While I can't say the show was the best thing I've seen, it was generally entertaining and all three acts were enjoyable. I was also surprised by the large quantity of photographers in the pit who were there to shoot Lady Sov who managed, as usual, to douse the crowd and cameras with a steady flow of Heineken beer. Oh and of course, shout out to DJ Annalyze (Sov's tour DJ) who threw down a super dope opening set including some crazy DJ tricks and beat juggling. Definitely a highlight there.

As always, click the thumbnails or link below to see all the photos from the show.
