"Based on Jumpei Gomikawa''s ambitious novel and seasoned with Kobayashi''s own experiences, this overly melodramatic trilogy set in Japanese-occupied Manchuria depicts the dehumanizing brutality of war with on-the-nose pedantry, never subtext, and offers little richness to Western eyes already ......... ]]> http://www.bestmediablog.com/blogs/permalinks/7-2008/my-dream-job.php http://www.bestmediablog.com/blogs/permalinks/7-2008/my-dream-job.php Tue, 08 Jul 2008 22:18:14 GMT I’m a featured blogger now on blog.hu because of my Hungarian medical blog and I got an interesting question about which famous blogger I would like to wake up as tomorrow morning.

Note the toe of my boot for scale. We found these tracks all over the place down by the dam, around parts of the lake, throughout the pecan plantation, along the eastern fence line, and into the forest.

I've dated people from many different cultures, and from personal experience I can say it really didn't.

For more than thirty years, he nailed small pieces of tin cans, aluminum soda cans and other metals to sheets of plywood, to create large-scale but incredibly detailed pictures.

Since he wanted to explore all the possibilities of his chosen medium, the style of his work ranges from abstract to cartoon to realistic, and his subject matter includes famous people, powerful beasts, the depths of space, family photos, and an urban ......... ]]> http://www.bestmediablog.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2008/celebrities-take-revenge-on-gossipers.php http://www.bestmediablog.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2008/celebrities-take-revenge-on-gossipers.php Wed, 23 Apr 2008 22:27:36 GMT I was never much of a fan of Ashton Kutcher's TV show, "Punk'd" but his current show, "Pop Fiction", on "E", sounds like something for ......... ]]> http://www.bestmediablog.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2008/mediocrity.php http://www.bestmediablog.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2008/mediocrity.php Thu, 10 Apr 2008 02:14:58 GMT Do you shoot too low and destine yourself for ......... ]]> http://www.bestmediablog.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2008/my-blueberry-nights.php http://www.bestmediablog.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2008/my-blueberry-nights.php Mon, 07 Apr 2008 01:12:36 GMT "A big deal no one is making: the first Western-language films by the two most inimitable, imitated Asian filmmakers of our time are opening in New York on the same day." So, on the same page, the L Magazine''s Mark Asch reviews both Hou Hsiao-hsien''s Flight of the Red Balloon and Wong Kar-wai''s My Blueberry Nights, "a film as American as apple pie, and as out-of-time iconographic as that phrase ......... ]]> http://www.bestmediablog.com/blogs/permalinks/3-2008/exchange-rates-beware-of-assumptions.php http://www.bestmediablog.com/blogs/permalinks/3-2008/exchange-rates-beware-of-assumptions.php Mon, 31 Mar 2008 00:56:09 GMT If you do a lot of business with customers in the U.S. you might be feeling the pinch due to the Canadian dollars rise against the U.S. dollar. ......... ]]> http://www.bestmediablog.com/blogs/permalinks/3-2008/well-done.php http://www.bestmediablog.com/blogs/permalinks/3-2008/well-done.php Thu, 27 Mar 2008 01:19:59 GMT Croatian creative agency Bruketa & Zinic have designed an annual report for food company Podravka that has to be baked in an oven before it can be read.

The ''Umbrella'' singer was so moved by mother-of-two Lisa Gershowitz Flynn''s story she joined forces with DKMS, the world''s leading bone marrow donor centre, to find her a match.

The 41-year-old New York lawyer was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukaemia, a fast-growing cancer of the blood and bone marrow last November, and was given just four to six weeks to find a donor.

Following Rihanna''s public plea for help, 5,000 potential donors contacted DKMS and a match has now been found.

Lisa broke the ......... ]]> http://www.bestmediablog.com/blogs/permalinks/3-2008/sunday-slurrings.php http://www.bestmediablog.com/blogs/permalinks/3-2008/sunday-slurrings.php Sun, 02 Mar 2008 13:56:04 GMT I once sat beside a pond for more than an hour waiting for some people to arrive.

Your new dress, that's what!! I am a huge, huge fan of black and white anything because you can play with fun colored accessories without looking like a bag of Skittles threw up on you. Awesome right? Both black and white are great neutrals and if you pair them together correctly you can make a pretty bold statement. Just a word of caution on prints, make sure they are proportionate to your body size. Don't wear a big print if you are small and don't wear a small print if you are big. That's easy to remember right?
