If you are a movie fan, then you know  the long-running syndicated film-review show ‘At the movies’. Even some of us, living in France, we at least heard  the name of the movie review program once, even though we couldn’t watch it on television over here (hopefully, we have Youtube!). The show has been cancelled this week so we decided it was time to follow Roger Ebert on Twitter @ebertchicago, a ‘Film critic since time ...

Our Twitter friends @coolhunting published an article on their website about Kitsune Noir, Dan Funderbergh and Furni‘s subversively modern take on the cuckoo clock. We also read the news on Kitsune Noir’s blog and when we saw the retro/classic Bavarian cuckoo clock style of the Neverend Clocks, we thought: ‘It would be perfect to hang on the walls of the Sama Gazette!’ Here are the details about the Neverend Clocks: – ...

March 22 was World Water Day and if you are still not aware about what this day is about (even though it’s clearly self explanatory), then you should know that water affects every aspect of our lives, yet nearly one billion people around the world don’t have clean drinking water, and 2.6 billion still lack basic sanitation. World Water Day, celebrated annually on March 22, was established by the United Nations in 1992 and focuses attention on ...

Here it is! We are pleased to announce the launch of our brand new website for The Sama Gazette. The new website is now online and we hope you like it. With the new design, comes a new navigation but also new features and sections we will let you discover by checking the Gazette. With this substantial upgrade and redesign, we hope the Sama Gazette will still grow and be more and more visited as it is every month since its initial launch in July ...

As you may already know, we are currently working on our website redesign. The Sama Gazette has been less updated than usual this week but everything will be back to normal (and far beyond normal!) pretty soon. Meanwhile, there won’t be any update until the new version is online. The Sama Gazette is online since July 2009 and we thought it was time to upgrade the website as you are more and more to visit us everyday. We hope you will appreciate ...

 Peter Graveswas great actor. Many of us knew him best for his role of Jim Phelps, leader of a gang of special agents who battled evil conspirators in TV’s “Mission: Impossible“. Some others also remember him staring in”Fury“, Billy Wilder’s “Stalag 17“, Charles Laughton’s “The Night of the Hunter“, Otto Preminger’s “The Court Martial of Billy Mitchell” and ...

 SXSWeek 2010: March 12-21. The South by Southwest (SXSW) Conferences & Festivals in Austin, Texas, have started and offer the unique convergence of original music, independent films, and emerging technologies. CNN says SXSW is ‘home to ‘nerd’ networking’ and Dennis Crowley, a co-founder of Foursquare says ‘It’s spring break for nerds’;  we see it as an event where everything can be shared, mixed up and ...

Paris Fashion Week 2010 (3 – 11 March 2010) was great, we loved the Chanel (a Scandinavian ice floe in the Grand Palais) and Hermès (Jean-Paul Gauthier is so creative) collections very much. But what we were waiting for was the late designer Alexander McQueen‘s Autumn Winter 2010 collection, which has been unveiled at Paris fashion week. It’s the collection McQueen was working on when he committed suicide last month… We knew it ...

  Last Monday was the 100th Anniversary of International Women’s Day. Many events were organized in many countries, and our last Twitter Sunday updates were dedicated to Women for Women and CARE. Yesterday, Max Dana posted an article on her blog: – ‘International Women’s Day: Ordinary Extraordinary Women” . Many Sama-Readers sent us emails and commented to know if Max was doing something special for Women’s Day; the ...

Last Sunday, we shared with you our Favorites Tweets @womenforwomenUK and @WomenforWomen. Today we decided to share our Favorites Tweets from another organization: CARE. Tomorrow is International Women’s Day and we think it’s important to support organizations helping women like CARE who is doing a amazing work empowering women and supporting events around the world. As you may have noticed, we put online a new section on the Sama Gazette ...
