I haven’t played D&D in years, so remind me – do clerics get a Stinking Cloud spell? If so, Viggo Mortensen, the smelliest hunk in Hollywood, is the perfect casting in Teresa, a Spanish language film. He’ll be playing a cleric opposite the impossibly hot Paz Vega, who will in turn be playing the mystic … Continue reading

Niki Caro’s last film, Whale Rider, is a favorite of mine. It’s a triumphant story of the empowerment of one Moari girl in New Zealand, but it’s the kind of film that makes you feel like a better person just for having watched.
