"Fantasy of Moon" by Hirai Terushichi, 1938
|
By Eunice Park
The words, “the Japanese aesthetic,” evoke images of pensive haiku-spinning, precisely-placed flower petals, asymmetric eaves, mono aware and excruciating sensitivity to spare beauty. It recalls an artistic awareness crafted by meticulous hands, elegant brushes, yellowed scrolls — not something as banal as a camera. Yet the exhibition, Modern Photography in Japan: 1915 – 1940, running from July 24 to September 30 at the Ansel Adams Center, clearly demonstrates how fit photography is for expressing this aesthetic.

Rush Hour Redux
By Justin Lowe
At the conclusion of the original Rush Hour, Chief Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) and Detective Carter (Chris Tucker) board a Hong Kong-bound plane after they crack an international kidnap-for-ransom ring, as Carter anticipates enjoying a well-deserved vacation. Cut to the opening scene of Rush Hour 2: Lee and Carter cruise down a Hong Kong street, singing along to “California Girls” on the car stereo. Remove the credits from the two films and Rush Hour becomes one continuous three-hour movie — a prospect that Chan’s international fans will no doubt relish, even if it turns out to be too much of a good thing.
