Michael Shainblum travels American cities to do something brand new
with time lapse photography. This is MIRROR CITY

Kaleidoscopic beauty aside,
I asked Michael Shainblum to take my picture once in Chicago,
it took him seven hours.
Author Chimamanda Adichie's award-winning novel
HALF OF A YELLOW SUN
tells the story of two sisters during Nigeria's Biafran War.
The book has now been adapted into this breath-taking film
starring Thandie Newton and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
"The only authentic identity for an African is his tribe.
I am a Nigerian because the white man created Nigeria
and gave me that identity."
The original novel has been called both a harrowing history lesson
and an engagingly human narrative,
as it shows the effects of war
through the experiences of four very different people.
"We're at war"
(Cheering, clapping)
(Bomb blast. Screaming)
Ultimately a love story, against the biggest odds.
The incorporable Sam Rockwell stars in A Single Shot a film
that looks to test viewers morality, when a man aims for a deer
But shoots a woman instead, a woman carrying a box full of money
"I got something important to tell you about our future"
"it's not a good time", "Joe for god sake, where did you get that money?"
"I'm right here, I'm right here"
It's okay, it's okay, if you can sit through Bambi, you can definitely handle this
Sam Rockwell, movie lesson number 74 if you find a bag of money
You leave it alone
Movie lesson number 1, obviously William H. Macy looks great in a toupée
Here's a quirky little film about the perils of gambling.
Or is it about the perils of marriage? I'm not really sure,
and both seem to involve a lot of money squandering
and unfair odds. According to FORTUNE ELEPHANT DREAM,
neither looks like much fun.

And hey, gambler? I think you would have had more success
communicating with your wife, if you hadn't met her on
Charlie Brown's dating website. "Wah-wah wah wah"
"Wah wah-wah" "Wah! wah wah-wah".
