"Mina stumbled and fell headlong into her apartment, smacking her knees and the palms of her hands on the hardwood floor. She bit her lip, cursed, resisted the temptation to cry. Rubbing her bruised joints, she turned to see what had tripped her."
And we're off. Those are the opening lines of Jürgen Fauth's rollicking debut novel, Kino, and the tale, told through lost-and-found journals, frantic emails and late night soliloquies, hurls Mina and the reader from that New York apartment to contemporary Berlin, the Berlin of the Weimar Era, sun-baked Hollywood and a film set on a beach in Mexico where the cast and crew pretty much go collectively insane. What Mina's stumbled over, we learn in a few brisk pages, are canisters containing the reels of a film long thought lost, made some eight decades previous by the grandfather she knows too little about, Klaus Koblitz, known in his day by his nickname,...

On The Finder this week, Ira enlisted Walter's help to find the Cinderella who captured his heart when they met at a bar. Elsewhere, Leo and Willa ran into the man responsible for the death of his wife and daughter. When curiosity got the best of Willa, it caused a riff in her relationship with Leo that she was desperate to reconcile.
In both cases, fatal attractions almost cost both Ira and Willa, the former to his illusive Cinderella and Willa to her wandering mind.
One thing is for sure: "A Cinderella Story" certainly felt like a fairytale, which made it a little difficult to take the installment seriously.
Even as the show enters its third week on the air, The Finder is struggling to find its stride. Consequently, this also means that The Finder is struggling to capture my attention with a riveting plot that engages me such that...

Most may know Erik MacArthur as an actor, but for years he's been sitting in the producer and director's chair. We all know him from esteemed works like Pleasantville, We Were Soldiers and the cult following Salute Your Shorts, but now it's time to see the other side. Ology caught up with MacArthur to discuss his impressive background in film and television and to see what projects he's currently working on.
Like catching up with an old friend, Erik talks to Ology about his newest film Pono that will begin filming in Hawaii in the upcoming months. He also explains the transition he made to behind the camera, with previous projects like the short Life Makes Sense When You're Famous and his first feature film Bottoms Up.
Ology: It's so nice to talk to you today and seeing what you're up to. What projects are you currently working on?
