There’ve been some new, fun things that I’ve written for various outlets that you may want to check out.

Firstly, my review of WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN is over at About.com.
It’s a great movie, and not quite what you expect.

I have a new column over at MTV’s NEXT MOVIE called Planet Fanboy. It’ll go live every Thursday, kinda in the middle of the day. The first one is a welcome post and the second one is how you should prepare for the first half of 2012.

Lastly, things continue to heat up at One Trek Mind. I’m very proud of the one I wrote for Friday the 13th of Freakiest Star Trek moments. But you should also check out the rundown of Strong Female Characters, Best DS9 Supporting Players, Best Trek Food and Best Trek Drink.

One Trek Mind: Make It A Trek-sgiving!

“We Star Trek fans may celebrate the Talaxian holiday of Prixin of exclaim “Peldor joi!” during the Bajoran Gratitude Festival, but the fact remains that most of our family and friends are Terran. This means it is time, once again, for Thanksgiving.”

The Descendants – Review at About.com

Jordan | Jordan Hoffman's Movie Journal, Tales Of Hoffman | Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011

“The Descendants opens with a snapshot of the sublime. A beautiful woman is shown in close-up, coasting along in a motorboat on a summer day. If Merriam-Webster needed a photo to accompany their definition of “content,” this would more than suffice. After a fade to black, director Alexander Payne slowly begins to reveal the human drama beneath this one perfect moment in time.”

George Hoffman Performs “Misty” in a Private Recital, Misgav Am, Israel, October 2010

Jordan | Tales Of Hoffman | Saturday, October 22nd, 2011

About a year ago my father revisited the kibbutz where he met my mother in 1962. Much had changed, a lot remained the same – like this barely-surviving piano. According to oft-repeated tales, he performed a much lauded concert for the young workers and citizen soldiers back in the day. Here’s how it sounded last year.

Mummenschanz at the Skirball Center

Jordan | Tales Of Hoffman | Sunday, January 2nd, 2011

mummenschanz-01

The true win of Mummenschanz was about half-way through when I stopped trying to figure out how the hell they were doing that?

The closing “number,” an unending showdown of face-changing with self-manipulated clay was like a Bill Plympton cartoon come to life. Truly one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen.

There are still some shows left!!!!!!

Vertigo Shots

Jordan | Tales Of Hoffman | Saturday, April 25th, 2009

vertigo-shots.jpg

What is a Vertigo shot? Also known as a dolly zoom, this is when a camera physically moves on track inward (or outward) while a zoom lens counters this move at the same speed. This creates a distortive effect, where a subject in focus will look the same, but the background will change in size.

David Byrne – Songs of Byrne & Eno at Radio City Music Hall

Jordan | Cram it in Your Ear, Tales Of Hoffman | Sunday, March 1st, 2009

3085636141_16dbf7fe3c.jpg

I’ve seen David Byrne live a zillion times but I’ve never seen him play the stuff I love the most. Until now. “The Great Curve” live? He probably hasn’t done that since Adrian Belew and Bernie Worrell were in the touring band. Has “Help Me Somebody” ever been played live??

I’m still kinda getting my head around this show and its awesome, clever choreography – one of the best concerts I’ve seen in my entire life.

There are some awesome pics at Brooklyn Vegan. Jon Pareles in the New York Times must have been at some other show, as he panned it and, therefore, is an idiot. Further proof that print is dead! I further resolve never to buy a newspaper again (not that I’ve paid for a paper in years.)

Top Worf Moments

I’ve had to do some shady assignments at the shop that I’m not too proud of. But I’ll be immune to that for at least six months thanks to this masterpiece.

I can’t remember when I’ve been so proud.

Enjoy the Top Worf Moments.

Brother Theodore on Late Night with David Letterman in 1985

Jordan | Tales Of Hoffman | Sunday, June 29th, 2008

Back when Letterman was still something of a local New York show, he’d often have Brother Theodore, the performance artist and concentration camp victim, on as a guest. There’s nothing like this happening anywhere, anytime. Schaffer’s music choice is a nice nod.

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time

Jordan | Tales Of Hoffman | Sunday, June 29th, 2008

1048091104.jpg

For some reason I have a summer cold (or sore throat at least) and it was too stinkin hot to go outside. So I stayed in. Did I take this opportunity to read one of the 50 or so unread books on my shelf? Did I take this opportunity to listen to new music? No – I mastered the art of running on walls in the 5 year old XBox game Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.

The joke was on me. After devoting (literally) hours to this endeavor – including one weak moment when I had to resort to the Internet to figure out how to find one particularly squirrrely secret passageway (I went to a website with three letters in it; I’m embarrassed to say which) – I was shocked to learn that I had only completed 10% of the game. I was CERTAIN I was nearing the end.

As they say in ancient Persia: oy vey!

Abbie Says Bluch!

I saw this video at a museum a million years ago and never thought I’d see it again. It is the greatest thing you’ll ever see.
