A Chaotic Descent into a Post-Apocalyptic-Tropical Sound: An Introduction to Bermuda Triangles

Film Review: The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3
The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 is a film that has two sides. On one hand, it is a very well performed thriller. Denzel Washington and John Travolta, two proven actors, keep the tension high and the audience on the edge of their seats as they converse over the radio. On the other hand, the film is a ridiculous action movie with frantically cut car chase sequences and collisions that send automobiles literally flying through the air. You have to take the bad with the good, of course, so if you are able to ignore the absurdity, you will enjoy yourself.

LOOK3: Charlottesville's Festival of the Photograph
LOOK3 Festival of the Photograph is a celebration of photography, created by photographers, for those who share a passion for the still image. The festival features exhibits and on-stage appearances of three “legacy” photographers, as well as many exhibitions, outdoor screenings, and projections over three days and nights. Historic downtown Charlottesville is transformed into a “living image” with photographs hanging in the trees, projected in storefront windows and on the sides of buildings, as well as in all the galleries. Billed as “3 days of peace, love and photography,” the Festival is designed to bring together the international photography community and create opportunities for attendees and artists to share images, ideas and to be inspired. The festival is June 11th-13th. Full details about LOOK3 can be found at www.look3.org.

Cheap Eats: Veg!
There are tons of great restaurants in Richmond that cater to the vegan and vegetarian diet. You can get pasta anywhere and if you’re cool with that, great; but for your garden gourmands here are some awesome places that have put some real effort into vegan and vegetarian fare. I’m getting excited for veg good because the 2009 Richmond Vegetarian Festival is coming up so soon on June 20, at Bryan Park. For more info on that and a list of other vegetarian dining options in RVA check out the Richmond Vegetarian Society website at www.vegetarianrichmond.org.
