In 1997, Pedro Costa (above), at the age of 38, began a trilogy exploring Portugal's impoverished, an undertaking that would continuously draw raves from the more erudite critics around the world. First came Ossos, which was pursued by In Vanda's Room (2000) and Colossal Youth (2006). These films, often showcasing the same characters, are sublimely visual, meditative masterworks that paint within shadows the seemingly plotless lives of the drug-addled inhabitants of a ghetto that is slowly being dismantled.
The Film Society of Lincoln Center last week had a retrospective of these early works plus other tidbits of Costa's oeuvre, a sort of celluloid foreplay leading to the release of Costa's latest effort, Horse Money. The accompanying press release for this tribute notes that "Costa is now widely regarded as one of the most important artists on the international film scene," and the Film Society's Director of Programming, Dennis Lim, added, "Simply put, nobody makes...

Think you’re too big to bag it up before sex? Swedish singer Zara Larsson is calling B.S. The 17-year-old winner of the Swedish version of Britain’s Got Talent shared a pic with her 500,000 Instagram followers of condom successfully rolled up her leg. And no, she doesn’t have the leg of an infant.
Here’s what she shared:
To all the guys saying “my dick is too big for condoms” Take A Seat

And if you think you’re any bigger than a full-grown adult lady leg, then you probably need to get that situation checked out by a doctor. Shit’s not healthy, unless you’re a walrus. Larrson went onto post in her blog responding to the reactions to her photo. Translated from Swedish, this is an excerpt of what she has...

Indie Spotlight Review: Nobody Can Cool
by Heather Wixson
Nobody Can Cool is the rather impressive directorial debut from up-and-coming filmmaking duo Dpyx, Marcy Boyle and Rachel Holzman, who crafted a blisteringly taut and thoughtful indie crime thriller with a palpable sense of tension from start to finish. A gritty and engaging tale of deceit, violence and desperation, Nobody Can Cool is anchored by a breakout performance by Nick Principe (best known from his work in the Laid to Rest series, Madison County and...

Call me a prude, but my monocle must have fallen off my face and into a steaming pile of synthetic intestines six or seven times last night. I haven't the constitution to handle skin-removing aliens, misogynist serial killers, woodland flesh beasts and Anne Frank on the same show! Oh yes, Anne Frank is on American Horror Story: Asylum now, or at least a deeply disturbed woman who claims to be Anne Frank, has a concentration camp tattoo and is actually played by Franka Potente this time. Oh Holy Mary, Mother of Ryan Murphy!

The Goonies 25th Anniversary Edition (Blu-Ray)Warner Home Entertainment1985/Rated PG/114 Min.List Price $49.98 – Available NowTwenty-five years is one quarter of a century but depending on the perception of the individual it can seem like a short time. For me 1985 feels like yesterday. You might already be aware of my musings about what a great summer that year had for movies and The Goonies is a film that feels like its always been a part of my life. I honestly can't remember how I first heard of it. Perhaps it was through word of mouth, a TV spot or your typical extra large poster you see in your subway station. It didn't matter whether or not the movie was good or even what it was about. The hook for that film and many others like it came from three simple words: Steven Spielberg Presents. Following the success of E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial,...
