A director desperate for a hit; a screenwriter (Bret Easton Ellis) more concerned with waging social-media jihads than actually writing; a porn star (James Deen) with a sensitive side; a budget that wouldn&#8217;t cover Kanye West&#8217;s ego; and, of course, Hollywood&#8217;s favorite child-star-turned-<em>TMZ<\/em>-punchline Lindsay Lohan: while this equation might not add up to a box office hit, it&#8217;s a fascinating look at the absurdity of Hollywood filmmaking.

I was surprised, though, not to find in it mention of the other religious order Francis, along with St. Clare of Assisi, helped found: the Poor Clares. My (limited) knowledge of Francis&#8217;s biography  largely comes from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0819869767\/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=theparrev0f-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=0819869767\" target=\"_blank\">a comic book of the life of St. Clare<\/a> that I was given by my parents for Christmas or a birthday one year, so it&#8217;s hard for me to think of him without also thinking of his female counterpart. The comic was packed with fervent praying and miracles and gruesome depictions of Francis&#8217;s stigmata\u2014much more exciting than other comics I read at the time\u2014it&#8217;s a shame that it looks to be out of print. <strong> \u2014Clare Fentress<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been taking a tour of two very different versions of Eastern Europe through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9780393324020\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Collected Stories of Isaac Babel<\/em><\/a> and Paul Park&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9780765310965\" target=\"_blank\"><em>A Princess of Roumania<\/em><\/a>, the latter being a pretty fun sci-fi novel about a girl who discovers that she&#8217;s a princess in an alternate Europe where Romania is a leading power. They go together surprisingly well. <strong>\u2014Andrew Plimpton<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What has revolution achieved?

The effect is striking. Stepping into the exhibition space, the viewer is pulled into a dialogue between the old ideologies and the present realities of revolution. The exhibition is demanding, and the conversation is not an easy one, but the art is eminently approachable, and visually appealing without exception. In one sulpture, Randall Weeks carves a stack of canonical texts on Latin American revolution into a beautiful Andean topography. I found myself returning to the piece time and time again. Most of the pieces in the show kept calling me back, and I was happy to abide. A second show by Randall Weeks, at the Drawing Room, is going up next week.
