Pharoah Sanders I like because from his saxophone blows emerge many rainbows, that awaken me, uplift me and take me away from my grays. Thembi is his best album, his masterpiece among masterpieces, more accessible and this is music born to be accessible.

Blank Dogs and the stuff they do are very predictable. Like a compilation made of Joy Division, Josef K, Bauhaus, The Cure, and Christian Death in Michele’s old red Panda stereo. Cadaverous Synth-Pop for people in pieces. Drum-machine with a heart, American stuff.

Under the guise of an absolute fool, there’s pop. The new album is truly crap. If Kurt Cobain were alive... Wavves would be opening concerts for legends.

This album is a concentrate of sadnesses—more melancholies than sadnesses, a greatest hits of what's wrong in the lives of those who sing it and yet it has a spark, an unexpected vitality, a stance. The man of clear intellect is he who frees himself from these fantastic ideas and faces life, realizing everything in it is problematic, feeling lost.

Ornette Coleman was free. Anyway, he was an elevator operator. He pressed the wrong button and shot up to another planet. 'Something Else!!!!' won’t be Coleman’s most beautiful album—but it certainly has the charm of a borderline, frontier album.

"Hotel Rwanda" is not beautiful, but it is necessary to bring to light a piece of history that just passed and went unnoticed. One million deaths in one hundred days... I shiver. One death changes your life, but what remains of your life after one million deaths?

The review critiques the Royal Museum for Central Africa's colonial narrative before focusing on the film Hotel Rwanda. Although not stylistically compelling, the film is deemed necessary for highlighting the horrors of the Rwandan genocide and exposing the human tragedy behind colonial-created ethnic divisions. It praises Paul Rusesabagina's courage and the film's role in educating the general public about this overlooked atrocity. Watch Hotel Rwanda to understand the human cost of genocide and the colonial roots of ethnic conflict.
Larry Gopnik, almost a physics professor, Jewish, is a serious man. He’s so morbidly serious that he has his own ethics and even a certain consistency to pursue. The film ... is a mockery, besides people who take themselves too seriously, of Jewish orthodoxy.

You won’t find another example of stream of consciousness so effective and you won’t easily find another book so painful, heavy, as if the letters were bas-reliefs carved on reinforced concrete. William Faulkner will sprinkle your brain over time that coils on itself. It will be a nice feeling. Maybe.
