Scurry SB in a Sweet Surrey
Thursday, February 5, 2009
Just imagine it: You're coasting down a hill, wind in your hair, sunset over you shoulder as you whiz down the road with five of your friends. No, it's not the pitch for a cheesy Super Bowl ad (I've seen better, and frankly I was a little disappointed this year), but rather a little excursion you can have along the waterfront in Santa Barbara.

Titans To Get 'Domed Up

The Curious Case of David Fincher
Thursday, February 5, 2009
"You kind of wonder if I should [have] been in therapy more regularly," director David Fincher cracked to an appreciative audience Friday night at the Arlington Theatre after seeing a couple clips from his filmography run.

Clint Eastwood Has Still Got It, Baby
Thursday, February 5, 2009
You almost begin to feel like cattle as a journalist covering red carpet events at Santa Barbara International Film Festival. You're sent through the chute with your fellow journalists and paparazzi and then made to stand at your marked spot while everyone leans over the railing and looks to see if that's Clint Eastwood. Thankfully, however, they spare you from being shot in the forehead with an air gun, getting hung upside down and then being cut into steaks.
