Food Party is a mind-bending, non-reality cooking show with Thu Tran as your hostess, a cast of unruly puppets as culinary aides, and a cavalcade of fictitious celebrities as surprise dinner guests. Shot on location in a Technicolor cardboard kitchen as well as other foreign and exotic cardboard locations, each episode will or will not instruct you on how to prepare wild gourmet multi-course meals with ingredients you probably have on hand in your kitchen already, such as pretzel rods, eggs, narwhal lungs, bizarre plot twists, secret ingredients, and pizza. After all, you never know who might show up for dinner.
I'm hooked on Robin Burkinshaw's blog Alice and Kev. The blog follows the life of two characters she created in the latest Sims game. Burkinshaw created the father and daughter pair, "moved them in to a place made to look like an abandoned park, removed all of their remaining money, and then attempted to help them survive without taking any job promotions or easy cash routes." Kev is mean-spirited, hot tempered and inappropriate. He also loves tormenting Alice, his daughter. Alice is nice, weak-willed and generally unlucky. Burkinshaw updates the blog daily as Alice and Kev go on with their difficult virtual lives. Their story is surprisngly heart-breaking and sometimes purely strange.
The latest doc from Stacey Peralta (Dogtown and Z Boys and Riding Giants) focuses on the personal stories of two of the country's most notorious street gangs, the Bloods and the Crips.
