| Movie Review: Eastern Promises |

Eastern Promises gives us a glimpse into Russian organized crime in London and what happens when an innocent person gets wrapped up in its seedy existence. Amazing visuals and beautiful acting make Eastern Promises worth seeing.
Anna Khitrova (Naomi Watts) is a midwife in the maternity ward in a London hospital. A young pregnant Russian woman who speaks no English is brought into the hospital and delivers her baby before dying. Anna makes it her personal mission to find the family of the child, no matter where it takes her. Her first and only clue to the mother’s identity is her diary, written in Russian. Anna first brings the diary to her uncle, who is so disgusted by the content, he refuses to translate the contents for her. Discouraged but not giving up, she brings the diary to a local Russian restaurant. Semyon, the owner, agrees to translate the diary for her. Anna doesn’t know that he is the head of the local Russian mob. When she leaves the restaurant she meets Nikolai Luzhin (Viggo Mortensen), the cleaner for the mob. When they realize what is in the diary, Anna, her uncle, her aunt, and the baby aren’t safe. Eastern Promises is to the eyes what crème brule is to the tongue: smooth, sophisticated, and delicious. The cinematographer Peter Suschitzky and director David Cronenberg jumped head first into a modern film noir style that grabs the audience by the eyes and doesn’t let go. There is exceptional attention to framing in most of the scenes, but it is the use of light that constantly caught my attention. There is lighting conspicuously meant to draw your attention to one particular part of the scene, and lighting that does it more subtly. The lighting conveys the right mood without the intention of the lighting being dreadfully obvious.

| Music Geeks Beware of Downloads |

The Internet has been a boon for music geeks. I do have fond memories of scouring the LP stacks at my favorite independent record store, but for instant gratification the Internet is the prime way to buy music. Where else can you find someone to express mail you a copy of Dave Clark Five CDs released in Italy? Do you really want to hear that Alcatrazz album that someone mentioned in a blog post? Pop onto iTunes and give the songs a sample before plunking down money for it. But I must tell you for those who use Napster, iTunes, eMusic, or other Internet downloading sites — buyer beware! There are rip-offs afoot. Music geeks like me read about famous recordings of the past and decide then and there they want to own it. Many times you will be able to find the original recordings online. However, some of the songs listed are not the original records, nor are they reasonable facsimiles. In trying to purchase songs made famous by artists from the 50s and 60s, I was left with note-for-note copies that may have featured one of the original performers that have been re-recorded for the digital marketplace. You can immediately tell this because of how ‘clean’ the recordings sound and that something is ‘too perfect’ about the song.
