In 2014 I want to feel more connected. Because it’s too easy to forget why we’re here.



I took this photo of the Griffith Observatory on a hike with a close friend. More like this in 2014, please.


instagram.com


I've spent too much time being overly critical of other people, but most of all of myself. My default in the past has been to find faults quickly, and I think this has held me back in some ways because it becomes too easy to focus on the negative. In 2014 I want my default to be kindness.


In the past I've been quick to adopt an aloof posture — mostly, I think, towards things that I felt were outside my grasp, like a job or a guy. But this year I want to be more forthcoming about admitting when something means a lot to me, and not be afraid of how I'll feel or how others will respond if it doesn't work out.


Granted, this one might be tough, given that I work for an online news organization where speed is the currency of the realm, but I think what I mean is I want to savor and appreciate things more, and not always be rushing off to the next thing. I want to stop and smell the literal and figurative roses.

The Great Gatsby


The Great Gatsby


Directed by: Baz Luhrmann

Written by: Baz Luhrmann (screenplay), Craig Pearce (screenplay), F. Scott Fitzgerald (based on the novel by)


You knew it would be here. Whilst the film itself divided opinion on both over-zealous production and truthfulness to the book (which, let's face it, is always an issue with movie/books) it was still Australia's most successful film of the year. If the purpose of film as a medium is to influence and effect the masses, then Gatsby delivers - the myriad of fashion blogs and party themes associated with it a testament.

With a blockbuster cast many would hesitate to associate with Australian Film, Gatsby conquered. Whether we want to admit it or not.

The Rocket


The Rocket


Directed by: Kim Mordaunt

Written by: Kim Mordaunt


A fantastically interesting Australian film which recently took out the "Best Debut Feature" at the Berlin Film Festival, The Rocket is unique in that it does not have many of the stereotypical tropes associated with Australian film. Gone are the red deserts and Akubra hats, instead replaced with the vegetation dense landscape of Cambodia. The Rocket is the most unique Australian film of both 2013 and the past couple years.

Update: Melissa Harris-Perry apologized Tuesday morning for the year-end review segment ended with questionable taste on her show this weekend.


View Video ›


A Romney family photo featuring Mitt Romney and his grandson Kieran Romney that flew under the radar of most media outlets made a "photos of the year" segment of MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry Show on Sunday, prompting a discussion by Harris-Perry's panel that has conservatives crying foul.


"Any captions for this one?" Harris-Perry asked her panel.


"One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just isn't the same," sang panelist Pia Glenn, adding, "And that little baby, front and center, would be the one."


Comedian Dean Obeidallah told Harris-Perry that he thought the photo was "great" and that "it really sums up the diversity of the Republican party, the RNC. At the convention, they find the one black person."
