Silence Is Golden

The last silent film to win an Oscar for Best Picture was Wings in 1929…that is until earlier this week when The Artist won the covetted statuette. How is it that in a world of extreme and overt communication with Twitter, FaceBook, cell phones, and Skye, a film that has virtually no talking can make us fall in love with it?

Kissing for the Record

University of California seniors, Alina Evans and Paul Fremeau, may have just kissed themselves into the record books. And, I was there to see it for myself. The couple were a part of a Valentine’s Day event I organized for a charity called Kidz for a Cure, which culminated on February 14th with a kiss off.
