Directed by Steven Soderbergh
Starring Sasha Grey

Review by Seth Rogovoy

In The Girlfriend Experience, starring real-life porn star Sasha Grey, director Steven Soderbergh proves that he hasn't lost a step since Sex, Lies, and Videotape as the cinematic bard of affect-less sex.

CONCERT REVIEW: ANI DIFRANCO at the COLONIAL THEATRE

Pittsfield, Mass. April 21, 2009

by Seth Rogovoy

(PITTSFIELD, 4.21.09) -- At the Colonial Theatre last night, Ani DiFranco demonstrated what fans and followers have long known: the diminutive singer-songwriter packs a powerful punch in concert, her original folk songs an idiosyncratic blend of Talking Heads worldbeat, Maceo Parker-laced funk, Pete Seeger-influenced politics, all adding up to one of the most unique voices in contemporary popular music.

[FILM REVIEW]: SHALL WE KISS?

Directed by Emmanuel Mouret

Ever wonder what might happen if Woody Allen and Alfred Hitchcock teamed up to make a film together -- in French? Emmanuel Mouret apparently did, and the result, Shall We Kiss?, is a delightfully terrifying cross between a romantic comedy and a tense thriller about the potentially awesome, life-changing power of the simplest kiss.
