Body of War (Documentary)

"When Your Mind's Made Up" from the Movie Once

This is the climactic scene from the very enjoyable movie Once (made on a shoe string budget). A street performer has saved up enough money to finally get some studio time and basically sings for his life in this scene as the woman he is falling in love with plays the piano. Depending on your computer you might need to turn up the volume some.

3 new york city movies:

1. goodfellas - One of the best opening 15-20 minutes of any film I've seen and a street level mafia study. An all star cast of Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci and Ray Liotta, among others.




2. annie hall: Anytime you think of woody allen you think of new york city....ok, you think of a few other things too but his movies are true old school nyc.




3. the pope of greenwich village - A fun movie with eric roberts as an off the wall young punk trying to make it big and taking his confused buddy, mickey rourke, along for the ride. It will make you want to take a trip to the village, buy a sandwich, hang out on a stoop and just people watch.

green day - "basket case"

red hot chilli peppers - "give it away"

Put the kids to bed, it's "rage against the machine" and they're not very happy about the WTO.

zorba the greek - a philosophy for life:

zorba the greek: Zorba the greek is almost a philosophy on how to live life, more than a movie. Anthony Quinn, in his best role outside of La Strada, is electric and Alan Bates is great in an understated performance.

Here Zorba helps his introverted boss deal with tragedy in only a way "Zorba" could.

pearl jam - "masters of war"

socially conscious band - pearl jam:

Pearl Jam is one of my favorite bands and they happen to be very socially conscious and support many charities.

The first clip below is pearl jam performing the song "animal" live on stage.

This next video is a very funny play on the unique delivery of lead singer Eddie Vedder and what he might actually be saying.

socially conscious band - U2:

Bono and U2 in general are the first celebrities I think of when it comes to using their social status to bring attention to world issues. The following song and video was performed with "green day" and it was meant to remind people that the victims of hurricane katrina are still and will be hurting for a long time and not to forget about them....as they were initially.

animal activist - moby

Moby, a strong animal activist and a new york city resident, with Gwen Stefani in "Southside".
