A cursed deep dive into Cursed(en)

Wes Craven's 2005 werewolf film Cursed had all the makings of a horror comedy classic on paper: A zany LA werewolf premise, hip early 2000s leads like Christina Ricci, Skeet Ulrich, and Jesse Eisenberg, and the Craven/Kevin Williamson partnership that had previously birthed the Scream franchise. But Cursed would not become a classic. Instead, it would go down in history as one of the most troubled film productions of the 21st century. How and why did this happen? Is the resulting movie any good? Do Jesse Eisenberg and Milo Ventimiglia kiss in it? Find out the answers to all of these questions and more in my CURSED deep dive into CURSED.

Celebration at Big Sur(en)

Star-studded show recorded at the Big Sur Folk Festival, Big Sur, California, September 13th and 14th, 1969. Joan Baez, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Joni Mitchell, John Sebastian, and others. This film captures a remarkable moment in folk, rock, and pop history - the famous folk festival that brought traditional acts like Dorothy Morrison & The Combs Sisters and Carol Ann Cisneros together with the psychedelic rockers of the day who were most deeply rooted in the folk revival. Older songs like ‘Oh Happy Day,’ ‘Rise And Shine,’ ‘All God’s Children,’ and ‘Swing Down, Sweet Chariot’ meet Joni Mitchell’s ‘Woodstock,’ Joan Baez’s ‘Sweet Sir Galahad,’ ‘Bob Dylan’s ‘I Shall Be Released,’ CSNY’s ‘Down By The River,’ and many more of the now-classic songs of what was then called the ‘new rock.’ The scene is notably intimate and - aside from one fan’s dustup with Stephen Stills - mellow, with many rare, close-up moments with the stars.

A a film showing how birds returned to an environment once devastated by industry. The lakes around the northern Slovenian town of Velenje, placed in the Central Europe, are geographic center of the film. They emerged as the land above the lignite mines subsided and the depressions were filled with water. The mines started operating at the end of the 19th century. In the mid 20th century a power plant was built that caused a severe pollution of the lake waters to the extent of the lakes not being fit for any kind of life.
