It’s almost a New Year, and you know what that means? There are finally some decent movies in theaters! My personal favorite right now is The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo starring Daniel Craig, Rooney Mara, Christopher Plummer (who looks just like my Bavarian great uncle), etc.
It has everything a person could want out of [...]

I’m sure you’ve all heard about this gorgeous must-see Lars Von Trier film starring Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg as rich people coping with the end of the world. Everyone seems to have a love or hate opinion about Melancholia, and my verdict is: A+
Justine (Dunst) is a gorgeous young bride with a successful career [...]

Midnight In Paris is yet another delight from Woody Allen. Gil (Owen Wilson) serves as the “Woody Allen character,” a disgruntled Hollywood screenwriter who dreams of reaching a higher level of literary genius by writing a novel. Unfortunately, he is engaged to a pushy girl, Inez (Rachel McAdams), who loves big diamonds and even bigger [...]

‘Please Rape Me,’ my performance art piece at the MoMA was one of the colder experiences of my life, mostly because it was 20 degrees and windy, but also because I was wearing cellophane. But more importantly, it was cold because the art world guests attending the Armory Show Opening Night Benefit Party were so [...]

Soon after I graduated from Yale in 2009, I was drugged, cut up, and violently raped by my ex-boyfriend, but at the time I didn’t realize it was rape. I called my sister from the hotel room in which the incident had taken place: I told her that I had the worst headache of my [...]

It’s not easy to be an entrepreneur these days, especially in Manhattan. I know one or two clever commoners who have spun good ideas into gold, but New York’s young entrepreneurial set is dominated by the children of the rich and famous, or the Mark Zuckerbergs of the world. For many of these people, all [...]

Considering its NC-17 rating, Blue Valentine was not as chock full of titillating sex scenes as I had expected. The few moments of lust fail to compensate for the film’s heart-wrenching story. Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling are flawless as two lost souls who fall deeply in love, get married, raise a child, and over time fall [...]

I don’t know about you, but New Year’s Eve usually makes me really depressed. That is, unless you’re madly in love with the man/woman of your dreams and that person is the one kissing you at midnight.
In 2011 I hope to:
1. Get a prestigious job.
2. Get my novel published, or at least get a literary [...]

Somewhere is Sofia Coppola’s newest film, which deals with all her favorite themes: Hollywood, celebrity, loneliness, meaninglessness, love, romance (or lack there of), travel, and hotel living. Stephen Dorff plays a very attractive famous actor who is a total pimp but doesn’t enjoy it — he drinks Coronas in his empty hotel room at the [...]

I attended the Kiehl’s Holiday Party in Manhattan and had the chance to stalk two of my all-time favorite celebrities: Kyle MacLachlan and Jeff Koons. I love Kyle because he is responsible for the Twin Peaks TV icon Agent Cooper; I love Jeff Koons because he is responsible for installing large pink poodles at Versailles [...]
