The blogs of my blog

5 October 2009 4:10 AM, PDT | blogs.suntimes.com/ebert | See recent Roger Ebert's Blog news »

One of my favorite pastimes, especially when I should be doing something else, is moseying around the blogs of my readers. You may have noticed that when the name of a poster is displayed in blue, that means it's a link -- usually to the author's blog, although you might be surprised. Assembled here is a distinctive readership of interesting people, not least because I am vigilant about never posting idiotic or perfunctory comments. A certain civil tone is (usually) maintained, avoiding the plague of flame wars.

Film: Review: The Song Of Sparrows

2 April 2009 11:58 AM, PDT | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »

It’s hard not to think of The Bicycle Thief while watching the first half of Majid Majidi’s The Song Of Sparrows, in which a poor Iranian father suffers a series of numbing setbacks, and his none-too-reliable motorcycle becomes the slim barrier between his family and ruin. But while the film incorporates a touch of neo-realism, Iranian director Majid Majidi (Children Of Heaven) isn’t aiming for miserablism; his beautifully austere morality tale is more a sun-parched version of a different well-known story, where a man who defines himself by his place in the big city comes to realize ... »
