Atom Egoyans films are so fascinating, provocative and daring. Apparently his latest Where the Truth Lies is dividing audiences all over the world even in his adopted home country of Canada. But Where the Truth Lies is his most human film since the doubly Oscar nominated The Sweet Hereafter.

Thanks for the interview. Sweet Hereafter is probably my favorite movie of all time and was unfortunately crushed at Oscar time by Titanic.

I never said I was leaving...just won't be around as much! I've got a lot of new stuff to be doing right now (including writing reviews and interviews for an online rock zine). I've just not been having as much fun round here lately than I used to so I'm reducing my addiction.
Thanks for asking though.

Theres no denying it, Jim Woodring is just plain weird. But thank god he is because hes produced some of the most bizarre and indelible images ever. He introduced himself to the world with his autobiographical work Jim and then his freaky little woodland type creature Frank. Now hes collected a number of his images in the book Seeing Things.

his art, to me, has always seemed geared for appreciation on a subconscious level. its like all these archtypes floating out in space materialize for just a moment on his pages. you can catch a glimpse of a strange and ancient reality. it is so foreign to our conscious mind, that it seems religious...but it is really just the underlying human condition we have hidden from plain view. it is the stuff of the subconscious released...dreams.

Every person that I have showed "The Frank Book" to has been mesmerized by it. They'll start reading a little bit, then just get sucked in, occassionally offering statements like "Wow! This is trippy!"
Woodring is a big inspiration to me. I love his work and his art. It's transcendental.

Re: the movie that became An Inconvenient Truth: good call on "It's going to be a big deal"!

Nine Lives is a fascinating movie broken up into nine scenes that seem unrelated at first but as you continue to watch you will find that they are all connected sometimes by certain characters and always by themes of isolation and regret. Writer/director Rodrigo Garca makes it even more powerful by shooting each of these scenes all in one take.
