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

Austin Nasty's

August 31, 2009 | Austin, Texas: My first night in Austin I was invited to come out to DJ Mel's weekly Monday night throwdown at this little place called Nasty's. The party has been going down for roughly a decade, which is pretty remarkable to me. Mel & Company know their way around a turntable as well. The place was full of a wide range of people, from fratty bro dudes from the nearby University of Texas, to rough and tumble looking gangsters with faces full of tattoos, and everything in between. It's a good time and if you're ever in Austin on a Monday I'd recommend checking it out. Oh, and the owner is a Packers fan originally from Wisconsin who took a liking to calling me a FIB fucking Illinois bastard all night long. Nice touch. Click here for all the shots..
