Woody Allen facing charges of racism

Woody Allen is no stranger to controversy. The 78 year old writer/director/actor/comedian/musician married his step daughter and has faced allegations of sexual abuse so the idea that he doesn't hire actors on the basis of race seems like small potatoes at this point.

Yahoo! is running this

This is such a non-story that it seems hard to believe it's getting any press. Then again I have decided to run it as well. But I assure you my motivation is slightly different. I'm personally sick of stories like this. Stories where pseudo-journalists who are so hungry for a scandal they will try to create one where there is none.

Woody Allen doesn't hire black actors? Are you kidding me? That's the best you could come up with? It's Woody "don't leave your kids with" Allen and that's what you go after him on? I'm about the most sensitive bleeding heart douche bag I know and even I'm not falling for this one.

The part at the end where he defends his racial blindness by saying he's friendly with one black guy doesn't really help his cause. It's like "I can't be racist, I have a black friend, sort of, I know this one black guy, I mean we talked once, ok he changed my oil." Then again its probably just a joke. Wait a minute he's a comedian. It was a joke? Ok yeah the last line of the article tells me its a joke, thank god, that was a close one.

Ambition is a powerful drug that can inspire positive change. It can force you outside of the comfortable boxes you place yourself in. It asks you to stretch and reimagine not only the person you are but the person you could be. Most great men and women have a deep relationship with what they see as their purpose. This is a personality trait never driven by or limited to the pragmatic and there in lies the problem. Logic be damned, when a sense of determination is your north star.
Michael Vaughn (Sommer) is an ambitious psychic on the road promoting a book that no one is buying. Using parlor tricks and audience plants Vaughn helps people "connect" with loved ones who have passed on. Somewhere in between a traveling preacher and a low-rent John Edwards he sees himself as a man destined …

SONG OF SOLOMON Review

Exorcism films do not begin and end with William Friedkin's THE EXORCIST. With entries as varied as BEETLEJUICE, CONSTANTINE, and THE RITE, the exorcism sub-genre of horror films is far more diverse than many immediately recognize.

With THE SONG OF SOLOMON director Stephen Brio has added a unique take on the possession movie. In his film, the Catholic church attempts to save the soul of Mary (Jessica Cameron) who appears to have been possessed after witnessing her father's brutal suicide.

Mary is off camera while her father takes his own life. In a scene that could play as a confessional or an accusation, the family's patriarch lists off the reasons why he is being forced to use his knife on Mary and himself. He details how they were a good, loving family and he can't understand why she is accusing him of abuse. Using demonic control as a metaphor for trauma survival is something so natural, I can't believe it's not woven into every film of this kind.

Jessic…
