“The unexamined life is not worth living.”—Socrates
Examined Life pulls philosophy out of academic journals and classrooms, and puts it back on the streets...
In Examined Life, filmmaker Astra Taylor accompanies some of today’s most influential thinkers on a series of unique excursions through places and spaces that hold particular resonance for them and their ideas.
Peter Singer’s thoughts on the ethics of consumption are amplified against the backdrop of Fifth Avenue’s posh boutiques. Slavoj Zizek questions current beliefs about the environment while sifting through a garbage dump. Michael Hardt ponders the nature of revolution while surrounded by symbols of wealth and leisure. Judith Butler and a friend stroll through San Francisco’s Mission District questioning our culture’s fixation on individualism. And while driving through Manhattan, Cornel West—perhaps America’s best-known public intellectual—compares philosophy to jazz and blues, reminding us how intense and invigorating a life of the mind can be. Offering privileged moments with great thinkers from fields ranging from moral philosophy to cultural theory, Examined Life reveals philosophy’s power to transform the way we see the world around us and imagine our place in it.
Featuring Cornel West, Avital Ronell, Peter Singer, Kwame Anthony Appiah, Martha Nussbaum, Michael Hardt, Slavoj Zizek, Judith Butler and Sunaura Taylor.

On March 11 a new documentary was aired on French television - a documentary that Americans won’t ever see. The gigantic bio-tech corporation Monsanto is threatening to destroy the agricultural biodiversity which has served mankind for thousands of years.

One Resolution You Must Keep....Don't be a STAR SUCKER in 2010
When the media makes a star - they make you the sucker.
Starsuckers is a feature documentary about the celebrity obsessed media, that uncovers the real reasons behind our addiction to fame and blows the lid on the corporations and individuals who profit from it.
Made completely independently over 2 years in secret, the film journeys through the dark underbelly of the modern media. Using a combination of never before seen footage, undercover reporting, stunts and animation, the film reveals the toxic effect the media is having on us all – and especially our children. It shows how truth has become a distant memory in the modern news and climaxes with a shocking and startling revelation of just how bad things can get when we let entertainment reach out into politics and charity.
The first rule of working in the media is - do not critisise the media. Well, we've decided to break this golden rule, and if we ever work in this town again we won't have done our jobs properly. A film so controversial it will never be shown uncut on TV, and will pull the rug underneath a string of untouchables.

Unique Ways To Charge Your Batteries
1. Dance Charger: an armband which contains the technology necessary to harness kinetic energy and use it to power gadgets. This basically means the owner can wear the armband whilst dancing all day at a festival, get back to the tent and plug a mobile phone into the now-charged unit.
2. The Powermat is a thing of beauty: a thin, sleek mat upon which you just need to place your gadget of choice for it to begin recharging. Apart from the mat itself, there’s no need to plug anything in, plus you can place multiple devices on the Powermat concurrently as long as there’s ample space. At present, the mat is compatible with ‘iPhones, BlackBerrys, MP3 players, cell phones, headsets, hand held electronic games, digital cameras, and GPS units’ and will set you back approximately $160, receiver included.
3. Why use a charging device when the battery itself has a USB connection? USBCELL batteries have exactly that. Simply flip open the end of the battery, plug it into a USB port and it’ll begin to charge. The major downside is the price – a pack of 2 AAs will currently set you back $18– but still, it’s a good start. At the moment only the AA batteries you see above are available to buy, but many more products are apparently in development.
