Freaky Friday, Trading Places and the old classic Prince and Pauper get a make-over in Susan Shapiro's Overexposed. Rachel Solomon, an aspiring shutterbug from a Midwestern Jewish doctor's family, escapes suburban paradise for the bohemia of New York City , much to her kin's dismay. She gets a job at Vision magazine, replacing the previous art assistant, Elizabeth Mann, a daughter of a famous photographer. Little does Rachel know, the tall gangly brunette with looks not unlike her own, would replace her in her mother's family album and even in the antique wedding gown that should've been hers. When Elizabeth speed-marries Rachel's brother, she blissfully abandons her high heels for nursing bras - and the Solomons suddenly acquire a daughter they know how to love.

Ladies, have you ever wondered what your man’s doing when he’s not deliciously spooning you. Or gals, maybe you’ve asked yourself why there’s no more canoodling between you two. I know sometimes these thoughts have got to go through your lips and legs. Some of you have even checked his emails, text messages and voicemails to find out if someone else is getting some. Then how about those c
With the action genre being a little bit hit and miss over the last decade, the film Expendables will remind everyone what a true action movie is all about. We have all recently grown accustom to the more psychological action hero like Jason Bourne with his more laid back incognito type attitude, or the more over the top impossible traits of fantasy superhero or magical protagonists.
Do you believe in the wonders of dreaming, the possibility of sharing a dream with another person, the capability of designing your dream right down to the last tiny detail? The Writer and Director of Inception Christopher Nolan does.
Leonardo DiCaprio stars as the main protagonist Dom Cobb, a thief who specializes in stealing ideas straight from your very head by invading your dreams. The art is called extraction, and the mechanics behind this are somewhat of a science fiction element to the film, though I can already see conspiracy theorists concluding that this is no make-believe concept. Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), is Cobb's right hand man, the guy who is an expert in controlling said mechanics in the art of extraction.
Noise is ubiquitous in a city; every day we are exposed to a wide range of sounds, from blaring jackhammers, obnoxious beeping horns or the screeching of trains entering a subway station. It is a wonder that more of us are not hard of hearing! Within this complex urban world of loud sounds and ever-present action, it would perhaps not be too far of a stretch to say that silence would be easily passed over. However, oftentimes silence is what attracts people, as is the case with Pearl, a statuesque mime whose delicate movements force the audience to slow their busy pace and contemplate the woefully underrepresented virtue of silence.
I don't want to sound biased at all in this review but it may benefit you to know that Tess is my all time favourite author. In my head, she can do no wrong in her work. I will give my honest opinion of her latest novel. Gripping, brilliant and entertaining throughout. My only issue with this novel is that it ended. I wanted to carry on reading right through the back cover. Though this is usually the case when I read crime.
Astoria/LIC International Film Festival is proud to present Polygamy, a clever, thought-provoking full-length feature film by Hungarian director/producer Dénes Orosz, in which he explores the ever-controversial subject of polygamy from the surprising angle of what would happen if someone's coveted wish was miraculously fulfilled.
When I first stumbled upon the Opera Collective, I was coming down the escalator from Grand Central into the subway station below, and I thought that the shuttle passage was emitting a performance from Lincoln Center; as I swiped my fare to get in, I was astonished to find that instead of a taped performance, there was a professional-caliber singing troupe.
What would happen if Woody Allan’s Sleeper met Frank Black from Soylent Green and the two of them tried to start a revolution by the way of Les Miserables, but got intercepted by Agent Smith? Too complex of a concept? Too heavy? Too depressing? Greetings and salutations, my dear citizens of One World. Welcome to DYSTOPIA GARDENS , a part futuristic fantasy, part dead-on reality taking place in One World, its citizens huddling under the gigantic domes built to protect them from the irreversibly polluted planet – a distorted reflection of our own realm, where we all live under the same cupola of the so far still blue sky.
