Ah, the arts! We are a city with a reputation for nurturing our creative types. As we have seen, anyone with the drive and determination to turn their passion into a reality can make a name for themselves here. There are countless opportunities for artists and craftworkers to exhibit their skills and wares. Take, for example, the Bluegrass Art Experience happening this weekend at Churchill Downs.

It looks like the Occupy movement is finally winding down. Agree or disagree, it was certainly a spectacle to witness, not only on a national level, but our own chapter right here in Louisville. Although the movement was not terribly well organized and a firm, specific objective was never outlined, I still find it inspiring to see so many people rise up to decry the level of corporate greed existent in our country.

I love films of all genres. I can generally find several really great titles in any category – except for one: sports movies. It is my least favorite genre. Sports movies are incredibly formulaic and generally uninspired. There is never any tension over whether or not the team around which the film is centered is going to win or lose the Big Final Showdown – either way is a cliché by now. It just doesn't interest me.
