Pom Wonderful presents The Greatest Movie Ever Sold
What I like most about this documentary is Spurlock himself. One scene in the film has him going through a rigorous Q & A session with a brand specialist to come up with his own brand in order to sell himself to the brands he wants to sell the movie to. (make sense?) Anyway, what they come up with is that Spurlock's own brand is Mindful and Playful, and this is a very good assessment...

Philly Restaurant – Flying Carpet Cafe & Bar
Stumbled upon an oasis in the desert yesterday, a real treasure of a spot called Flying Carpet Cafe & Bar. Located in the triangular apex of 19th & Poplar (1841 Poplar Street). The vibe inside is wonderfully chill, with a slightly Moorish decor.

As I began to shift my focus to the screen before me, taking in the beauty and breathing elegance of these 32,000 year-old drawings, brought to life with incredible texture by the 3D filming, I took…

The Lesser Known Works of Alfred Hitchcock
However, when I was sent this guest posting, it seemed to be a great fit to my feelings of Hitchcock withdrawal. Of the list, I have seen Lifeboat, Torn Curtain and Stage Fright, but I watched them as a teenager and other than Tallulah Bankhead's overly dramatic persona in Lifeboat, I really can't remember enough about these films to make comments...
