  2010: Third anniversary 2009: 2nd time's a charm 2008: First anniversary 2007: Here we go!

Earlier today, the people @SamaGazette tweeted: ‘Geez, we just realized da-eYe is growing a moustache for @Movember! http://www.da-eye.com/movember/ Next year we’ll do it too, we are too late now… ‘. da-eYe was indeed growing a moustache for Movember, to raise awareness and funds for men’s health issues. “During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in the US and around the world. With their Mo’s, these men raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men.” You can see a picture da-eYe and his moustache on his webiste. But the most interesting part of that tweet is that the Sama Team said they will grow a moustache next year. And I can’t wait to see that!

I love Hollywood’s Golden Age, I have wrote several times about this magic era: Scarface: first and second impact, Davis, Flynn, Dietrich… They did it their way, About the Warner Bros and the Roosevelt Administration and I even shared with you: A few pages of my movie script / book, for your eyes only!. The silent movies, the rise of talkies, the life in Hollywoodland… Hollywood’s Golden Age, from the late 1920′s to the mid-1930′s is my favorite movie decade. So when I heard about the movie director Michel Hazanavicius was about to make, needless to say I was very excited about it. The Artist, shot at the Warner Brothers lot in Burbank, takes place between 1927 and 1932 in Hollywood: as silent movie star George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) wonders if the arrival of talking pictures will cause him to fade into oblivion, he sparks with Peppy Miller (Bérénice Béjo), a…⇒ READ MORE

Remakes are nothing new in Hollywood but when it comes to your favorite movies, you often hope there will be ‘nothing new’, at all. In Scarface: first and second impact, I explained how some movies inspired my creativity and made me write my first short stories; Scarface is definitely one of these great movies that changed my life. In Lost, Battlestar Galactica, Nip/Tuck, House M.D… Addicted!, it was about The Twilight Zone (and The Prisoner) and the way the TV show fulled my imagination when I was a very young teenager. Blade Runner was one of the most important film of my childhood. I could feel the oppressive and stifling atmosphere, it was dark and always raining. The synthesiser-made music and most of all, the dystopian/cyberpunk world really impressed me (and maybe is the reason for my interest in #Steampunk). It’s only years later that I realized Blade Runner was heavily…⇒ READ MORE

Ce n’est pas moi qui le dit mais Ekia Badou, auteure de l’article publié sur SlateAfrique. La source des femmes est sorti le 02 novembre en salle et a été salué par la critique, tant pour la réalisation et la qualité des décors (Berbères, précision utile), que par l’interprétation des actrices (Leïla Bekhti et Hafsia Herzi, sans oublier l’impressionnante actrice Algérienne Biyouna, pour ne citer qu’elles). Le synopsis est le suivant : Cela se passe de nos jours dans un petit village, quelque part entre l’Afrique du Nord et le Moyen-Orient. Les femmes vont chercher l’eau à la source, en haut de la montagne, sous un soleil de plomb, et ce depuis la nuit des temps. Leila, jeune mariée, propose aux femmes de faire la grève de l’amour : plus de câlins, plus de sexe tant que les hommes n’apportent pas l’eau au village. Ekia Badou précise que Radu Mihaileanu, le réalisateur,…⇒ READ MORE
