Amazing! In the last few days, a lot of friends have been awfully busy: their blogs are just filled with goodies.

Michael O'Sullivan (www.osullivan60.blogspot.com) has written about his favorite Kay Kendall, as well as wonderful little travelogues on Kerry and on Rhodes, complete with enticing photos. Joe Baltake (www.thepassionatemoviegoer.blogspot.com) has written about Robert Altman's "H.E.A.L.T.H." and Hilary Brougher's "Stephanie Daley"; Kevin Lee (www.alsolikelife.com) has written a little report about the Berlinale, and (surprisingly) his conclusions were the same as mine, in that he found the most exciting items at this year's festival to be the Yasujiro Shimazu films, and the Forum Expanded installations.

Reading all these people, i feel like there are really a lot of possibilities for fresh perspectives on the arts, especially movies.
