So, after putting a moratorium on Hollywood films earlier this year (in protest to all the soulless, unoriginal garbage I kept subjecting myself to), I finally ventured back to the Arclight to give her another chance. I’m so glad I did! THE ARTIST is a wonderfully successful black and white, silent film in this day and age. That unto itself is a remarkable feat. Read the rest of this entry »
Just like Sheila E., Devi wants to live the glamorous life. She’s not quite there yet. In the meantime, here’s where she’s at…
Hope for Hollywood – A 2011 Movie Recap
December 4th, 2011 by Devi Snively (The Directrix)Irony Revisited, Dissected and Alanis Publically Dissed
December 2nd, 2011 by Devi Snively (The Directrix)
It’s not ironic but, only weeks after I dissed Alanis Morissette and shared my student’s humorous essay on “irony”(found HERE), the L.A. Weekly has dissected her semantically offensive song line-by-line. It’s a hoot. Check it out: http://blogs.laweekly.com/westcoastsound/2011/1/the_worst_song_of_the_90s_a_li.php

I’m STILL catching up from an amazing trip to Berlin, but had to take a quick break to share the new trippin’ poster (courtesy of Camp Motion Pictures) and our interview with FANGORIA.

I’ve another fun film to share. Check out the delightful animated “Slimtime” HERE.
People had told me Berlin is magic. Now I understand. As I see the old, the new, the saved, and the mostly destroyed, I gain ever more insight into things I’d only previously read about. The impact’s far greater than I ever could have imagined. I daresay Berlin has already changed my life. Who could have guessed? Read the rest of this entry »
“Awkward Humor & Iggy Pop Sing-Alongs” – Berlin Day 1
November 17th, 2011 by Devi Snively (The Directrix)
Perhaps I’ve been out of the loop, but I just discovered a wonderful Youtube gem that was screened as part of Interfilm’s opening night kick-off. Watch it HERE. You’ll thank me. It’s even more fun on a giganto screen amidst an audience of thousands. Scroll down for more awesome films and trailers below…
But first, a quick recap of Day 1 here at the Interfilm fest. Berlin is like no city I’ve ever visited and Interfilm like no other fest. It feels like a whole new world has opened up to me. It’s been wonderful…and a little intimidating. Read the rest of this entry »
