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

Lollapalooza Afterparty at Sound Bar

 

Friday night, after the sun set on Grant Park and day 1 of Lollapalooza, many peoplle made their way to Sound Bar for one of the dozens of festival afterparties that were going on around town. The night featured plenty of fake tans and overpriced cocktails along with DJ sets from Chromeo, Perry Farrel, Dark Wave Disco, Midnight Conspiracy and many more. There was also some reality show filming going on and quite an amazing guy to girl ratio (I'm going to assume the cover was 300% higher for dudes). Rock Star Hair was also in the building giving people haircuts and looking back on the night, I'm not quite sure why I didn't partake in that myself...
