Let’s face it, aging can be frightening, however it creeps into our lives so gradually, we hardly recognize it.  Until that awakening moment we meet each other in the mirror that once reflected that insatiable beauty of our youth.  During our youth, we may be unable to detect the envy of those older than us, of our fearless outtake on life.   In this short film, Vienna Waits For You, directed by Dominik Hartl, may bring to life that what we may perceive, as things that possess our future.  Those possessions that reoccur in our lives, in which others may …

Catastrophe, it is in the eye of the beholder.  Prevention is the key, I use the term prevention, loosely.  The key that may lock our doorway to any outside world other than our own.  This door can lead to much misconception.  Which inevitably, brings one to the endless circle of things I have previously discussed and brought to point in my last few reviews.  However we see ourselves, living these messy, complicated and obsessed lives, our frail attempts at controlling them.  We figure out that our safety and securities are often displayed thru a fish bowl for the world to see.  …

Magic.  Many believe in it.  Many wonder and secretly snicker at the mere chance of capturing the one moment that creates it. Magic is a true wonderment, one that cannot be transposed.  It simply creates in itself a majestic beauty.  A sand filled wave in the ocean, a frosted cloud in the sky or an eternal love.  All of these, at times seem so unattainable, so we dive ourselves into the tangible, logical matters that provide temporary value and meaning to our empty lives.  But where is the true joy?  We are too afraid to express our vulnerability to let the …

Even when you allow those shadows to follow you, they have the ability to haunt you.  The choices you make, mold you into something you cannot see, and the mirror tells another lie.  You chase those beings that have already gathered and clutched their mits tightly around you.  All in all, not realizing they have become you.  Or have you become them?  Hard to tell, who is real, with all these shadows floating in and out of bodies these days.  Is anyone committed anymore? Maybe what we need is just a bit of loyalty, to the vices that sink their fangs …

Control, it can be an emotional and mental level of assuredness and confidence.  All sorts of things control us, misconceptions as insidious as they are, can control a lifetime.  I know what you might be thinking, a control session is about to spill all over your monitor and seethe into your brains and for just a few minutes, you may become a puppet in this cyber playhouse.  I have to deny the urge to stop you and say I can only imagine the wheeling and dealings I would place into effect if I did have such Control.  But I digress.  I …

Images of ourselves can often be a misconception.  Single handedly, we pave a clear path to where we think we want to go and then… bam!, steamrolled by a simple distraction.  If only we paid closer attention, we might avoid entrapment by what seems to be an attractive desire.  But as many have crashed and burned before, we want what we want.  However be careful what you wish for, as in this short film, Alma by Rodrigo Blass, we may think that the most attractive desire is in fact, ourselves.  Be free, I say, like flying birds.    After all, flying birds, …
