A Girl Cut in Two
Film review by: Witney Seibold
The members of this odd little love triangle: 1) Gabirelle (the lovely Ludivine Sagnier), a bubbly, flirty twentysomething weathergirl for a local TV station. 2) Charles Saint-Denis (François Berléand), a famous author, pushing sixty. 3) Paul (Benoît Magimel, hilariously stealing every one of his scenes), a bratty, beastly, callow, man-child, and heir to a pharmaceutical fortune.

Tropic Thunder
Film review by: Witney Seibold

Nothing Will Die
A film essay by: Witney Seibold
“The world was never made;
It will change, but it will not fade.
So let the wind range;
For even and morn
Ever will be
Thro’ eternity.
Nothing was born;
Nothing will die;
All things will change.”
- from “Nothing Will Die” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
