There's a whole list of folks I wish were alive to chronicle the current moment but who I'm also glad didn't live to see how much we failed to listen to them. Carlin, Hicks, Vonnegut, etc. But Raoul Peck's new doc, ORWELL 2+2=5 adds another name. That and more at @orartswatch.org this week.

If you were wondering why I wasn't out at the clubs last weekend, it was because I was busy devouring a slew of new movies about to descend onto screens this weekend. THE ROCK vs DANIEL DAY-LEWIS is the main event but there's plenty more goodness at the link so let me know if I'm wrong.

I was barely able to see TATAMI, a film about a female Iranian judoka, in time to write about it for this week's FilmWatch column at @orartswatch.org. I'm glad I did, it's a powerful political thriller wrapped inside a sports movie. That and more at the link. www.orartswatch.org/filmwatch-we...
