Hey, wanna see The Ten? No, not the LA freeway, a movie of ten short films illustrating each of the Ten Commandments, featuring such of-the-moment actors as Jessica Alba, Paul Rudd (yay!), Adam Brody (pictured above; we have no idea what commandment it illustrates but the picture's funny), and The Daily Show's Rob Corddry, among many, many others, and directed by the guy who directed Wet Hot American Summer. Well, you can if you......

A movie about local filmmakers wrangling with local politicians? We are so there! The SF Int'l premiered the documentary Audience of One Thursday night in one of the big newly-renovated theaters in the Kabuki Sundance. Audience of One is about the Voice of Pentecost church, based in the Sunset on Ocean Avenue, and their charismatic pastor Richard Gazowsky, who saw his first movie at the age of 40 and then, in 1995, says he......

Yeah, we know, technically Passover has nothing to do with Moses receiving the Ten Commandments (that's Shavuot), but it's sort of related. We just think it's a good enough excuse to bust out one of our favorite Mel Brooks routines.......

Yep, it finally happened. The Mighty Stephen Colbert finally let us better know a district we actually know, that being "The Fighting 6th" of California. That district, of course, is Marin County and Sonoma and the congressperson is our very own Lynn Woolsey. And all this despite our little Nancy warning her minions to stay away from Colbert. ...

One of the best things about being Jewish is all the random holidays on random nights that totally gives you the excuse to go party on nights you normally wouldn't go party on. Case in point is this Sunday which is Shavuot. Shavuot, which means "Feast of Weeks," commemorates Moses receiving the Fifteen Ten Commandments on Mt. Sinai and is also traditionally a celebration of the harvest time. As part of the holiday, we Jews......

Several weeks ago, SFist vented about our number one pub trans pet peeve. This week, we want to vent about our second biggest pub trans pet peeve. Consider this a sequel, kind of a Move to the Back of the Bus: Electric Boogaloo. The peeve this time? People who don't walk up the left side of the escalator. Granted, this isn't necessarily a public transportation situation. Escalators are everywhere- at the Metreon, at Virgin, at the opera- but the situation seems to mainly bug whenever it involves MUNI or BART. Maybe because it's more pronounced. Or maybe it's because we're in more of a hurry because we've once again overslept. Or maybe it's because we like walking up the escalator because it makes us feel like we're exercising when in reality we're too lazy to take the stairs. But wherever it takes place, people who don't walk on the left side of the escalator suck. Isn't the whole the-left-side-is-for-walking a general rule? Isn't it one of the Universal Truths? A little known addendum to the Ten Commandments? Shouldn't the offenders realize something's up by the constant stream of people shoving past them muttering "excuse me, excuse me"? ...
