In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb: April 2006 Reviews

These are some of the Lemmy-approved reviews I'm working on this month.

Amazon CDs: Bird York - Wicked Little High (featuring the Oscar-nominated song "In the Deep" from best picture winner Crash).

Amazon DVDs: Police Woman - The Complete First Season [six-disc set] (above-average detective drama with Angie Dickinson as undercover cop "Pepper" Anderson), MacGyver - The Complete Fifth Season [five-disc set] (my fifth MacGyver review--yep, I'm now an official "Mac" expert!), Huff - The Complete First Season [three-DVD set] (Showtime dramedy with Hank Azaria and Emmy-winner Blythe Danner), The Flintstones - The Complete Fifth Season [four-disc set] (my second Flintstones review), Imagine Me & You (Brit rom-com--with a Sapphic twist), Latter Days (gay Amerindie rom-com--with a Mormon twist), and The Story of Qiu Ju (Zhang Yimou and Gong Li...before the former took up with the younger Zhang Ziyi, who starred with Li in 2046 and Memoirs of a Geisha...so I assume it's all good).

Seattle International Film Festival: Proofread several documents for the next Reel News quarterly.

Seattle Film Blog: Oscar-Nominated Documentary Shorts (The Death of Kevin Carter, The Mushroom Club, God Sleeps in Rwanda, and On a Note of Triumph, the deserving winner), Histoire(s) du Cinéma (Jean-Luc Godard's monumental video essay on a life in film), Metal - A Headbanger's Journey (possibly the most thorough metal doc ever made--devil horns!), Hair High (full-length feature from award-winning animator Bill Plympton), and Voice of the Beehive (new print of the haunting Spanish reverie).
