Godzilla vs. Kong
MOVIE CORNER By HOWARD MCQUITTER II Godzilla vs. Kong (2021 Warner Bros.) ★★1/2☆☆☆ Photo: Warner Bros. The last time the two mammoths monsters Godzilla and King Kong - one a reptile, the other a mammal - fought one another was in the 1962 film by Japanese director Ishiro Honda. Back then men dressed as Godzilla and King Kong battled it out, costing thousands of lives. In that film the battle between Godzilla and King Kong climaxes on Mount Fuji. Director Adam Wingard's Godzilla vs. Kong, as to be expected, uses plenty of C.G.I. (computer-generated imagery) making the beasts larger than ever. Oh, how Godzilla and Kong have grown in size since their beginnings! Today both beasts are as big as - if not bigger - than the skyscrapers they easily knock over. And the way it looks in Wingard's hyper C.G.I. version, it's Godzilla who is the villain. I think.      What also can be said [...]
El Centro de Artes Semilla: ¡Fiesta de Arte!
Una invitación a una fiesta: Los artistas diseñarán y crearán una actividad de arte para hacer linternas con los vecinos de Phillips en las Fiestas de Arte en coordinación con el personal de Semilla Tuvimos un año dificil el año pasado, de muchas, muchas maneras.

Esperamos y sentimos que se acercan tiempos mejores ahora que llega la primavera. Semilla Center for Healing and the Arts tenemos una idea, ¡Una invitación! Queremos ayudar a crear mejores tiempos con nuevas conexiones, fortaleciendo las conexiones existentes y aumentando la confianza de la comunidad, utilizando arte y fiestas: ¡Fiesta de [...]
Art Parties! Semilla Center for Healing and the Arts
By Interim Director Bart Buch and Artist/Board Member Angela Barrera A Party Invitation: We had a hard year last year, in many, many ways. Covid-19, economic hardship, violence, addiction, police brutality, social unrest, and homelessness have all increased the neighborhood's fear and isolation. One good thing that came out of the emergency of the uprising last year was getting to know new neighbors and looking out for one another during troubling times. We hope and feel better times are coming, Spring is arriving, and we at Semilla Center for Healing and the Arts have an idea, An Invitation! We want to help create better times with new connections, strengthening existing connections, and increasing community trust using art and parties - Art Parties! to celebrate together and continue looking out for one another. In March, Semilla Center started hosting these art parties on the first Wednesday of the month, first online while it was colder outside, then we will meet [...]
