Weekly What To Do: LA Auto Show Vs Dcon Vs Game Art Festival

 Woah, there friends! Let me just hook up my fictional horse to this...horse pole... I need to do a story on some of the equestrian areas of LA. Anyway, so many things to do this week, the LA Auto Show comes back to make us want to get even cooler cars we can't afford or in some cases can. Strange fun games at the UCLA Game Art Festival and our favorite place to purchase stuff for our desks, Dcon will be back in town.

Well, I'm off into the sunset back on my fictional horse. Yee haw!!!

Winner of the Grand Prix at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival and a standout at the New York Film Festival, young Italian filmmaker Alice Rohrwacher's (Corpo Celeste) entrancing, richly textured drama centers on a family of beekeepers living in stark isolation in the Tuscan countryside. The dynamic of their overcrowded household is disrupted by the simultaneous arrival of a silently troubled teenaged boy taken in as a farmhand and a reality TV show (featuring a host played by Monica Bellucci) intent on showcasing the family.
