[The Arts Desk | reviews, news, interviews] Film: Julia's Eyes - The Arts Desk | reviews, news, interviews: Whereas The Orphanage (with which it shares its female lead and a star producer in Guillermo del Toro) distinguished itself by its oppressive sense of menace, and predominantly avoided cheap shocks, Julia’s Eyes has few such compunctions. Having said that, there is something gloriously unabashed about the melodrama of its machinations (enhanced by a score which lays it on thick) and, to its credit, hamming it up is certainly in keeping with the approach of a giallo.

[Productive] Productive » My view of the Rroma: I can understand how hard it is for Romanians to be positive about the Rroma people when all their lives they have been subjected to negative impressions. As soon as Romanian kids can understand they are often intimidated with threats of being sold to the gypsies and one can assume that the older generation will pass down their own sense of prejudice about the Rroma to the kids in their charge.  In school and at work it is considered normal to have a prejudice attitude towards the Rroma (I wonder if there is any boss in the land who bans such talk?).  In other EU countries the media is not allowed to defame ethnic groups (although the British press do manage to be very offensive about foreign Rroma “scroungers”), but in Romania there seems to be no restriction on this.

[CentreRight] CentreRight: Will Cameron raise gendercide?: And that can be through abortion, infanticide, sold into the sex trade or dumped in an orphanage. 95% of children in Chinese orphanages are healthy baby girls; but such is the culture of neglect that deaths are ...

[Rae Welch's PDP Blog] Research: The origins of the most popular customs associated with Saint Valentine’s Day almost certainly trace their roots to a conventional belief generally accepted in England and France during the Middle Ages that on February 14 (halfway through the second month of the year), the birds began choose their mates. The reason for this assumption is somewhat clouded, but may be related to the fact that the first songbirds which traditionally warble after a blustery winter tend to debut in mid-February.

[Comments for Romanian Survival Book] On being Romanian « Romanian Survival Book: Not getting me wrong, I know a few projects/groups in Romania, made by Romanians who proved that occasionally solidarity is possible among Romanians: there is a group of young artists promoting each other but also doing common good projects, likewise a few groups helping Romanian students wishing to study abroad and collecting and sharing a huge amount of information pro bono, in the good style of European universities, where students share between themselves lots of ideas, notes, give and receive constructive feedback that will help them do a better job. Also, in any other European country when you meet new young people, you are almost immediately assimilated and introduced to their groups and invited to events and everything goes naturally, effortlessly.

[Atlanta Booklover's Blog] Newest Fiction Arrivals at Atlanta Libraries: Royal Blood (Rhys Bowen) - Her distant relative Queen Mary asks Lady Georgiana Rannoch to represent the royal family at a royal wedding in Romania.  Georgiana may have the noble pedigree to do the job, but she doesn’t have the money to go with it, so her lack of an appropriate wardrobe and a competent maid are a big handicap to enjoying the occasion.  But that’s nothing compared to the pall cast over the event when a guest is poisoned.
