On April 1st, 2017 my partner Kaycee and I drove to San Francisco’s Roxie Theater for the screening of CBS Graffiti Crew’s documentary film, “Can’t Be Stopped,” CBS is a pioneering West Coast graffiti crew that has been around since the early 80s, and you can see their influence from LA, Oakland, and San Francisco to Japan, Paris, and Brazil as well as many other countries.

I interviewed the director, editor, producer, and crew member, Cody Smith also known as Bleek, and we discussed everything from the power of art to what personally drives him to do graffiti.
In a future world devastated by disease, a convict is sent back in time to gather information about the man-made virus that wiped out most of the human population on the planet. Director: Terry Gilliam Stars: Bruce Willis, Madeleine Stowe, Brad Pitt, Joseph Melito. Votes: 549,807 Gross: $57.14M. Rotten Tomatoes, home of the Tomatometer, is the most trusted measurement of quality for Movies & TV. The definitive site for Reviews, Trailers, Showtimes, and Tickets. A book that celebrates, defines and illustrates the most wonderful, dynamic, and vibrantly colourful world of Graffiti. Graffiti is an art form that is of our times, all around us, and not tarred with the hidebound 'brush' of yesterday's static interpretation of the traditional artist as typified in art colleges and mausoleum moulded galleries charging money to enter.
In this video blog I share my first experience with the art of CBS: I was walking down the street and spotted an old English Skate RIP production, and like a little boy who sees a lizard scurry by and can’t control his impulse to run after it, I exploded across the street. The next thing I knew, I was bouncing off of the windshield of a car and getting hurled into the street. Because of my excitement, I got up and kept running, clutching my disposable camera like it was a million-dollar lottery ticket. The film brought all these memories back, which was nice.
The film covers the early days of the crew and displays vintage footage of Skate Rest-in-Peace. There are interviews with Chaz Bojorquez, Saber, Risk, Seen, Jurassic 5’s Chali 2na, David Arquette, CBS crew members, and many more notable personalities. It was a great night. I learned a lot and came home with a cool new Can’t Be Stopped the Movie t-shirt. I want to thank Cody Smith, AKA Bleek One, and everyone else from the crew who took the time to talk with me. I also want to thank my partner Kaycee Marcos for spending the day helping me film. If you’re interested in seeing the movie, you can go to cantbestoppedthemovie.com

Nativity! (2009)[edit]
Paul Maddens is a teacher who once had ambitions of being successful as an actor, producer or director. Every year St Bernadette's Primary School in Coventry, where he teaches, competes with a local private school.
Despite this, the St Bernadette's headteacher Mrs Bevans tasks him with running their nativity play this year, and gives him a new class teaching assistant called Mr Poppy, who turns out to be as much of a child as the rest of Paul's class. As every year, it is one of Paul's other friends from drama school, Gordon Shakespeare, who runs the nativity plays at rival school Oakmoor.
Determined not to be seen as a failure by his old rival, Paul lies to Shakespeare about how a Hollywood producer, their old friend Jennifer, will be turning his production into a Hollywood film, though he hasn't even spoken to her in five years. Mr Poppy accidentally overhears this and is so excited that he has to spread the rumour.
Soon, Paul finds his lie is out of control, and all he can do is go along with it as media attention mounts and the children get more and more excited, so Paul has to try to actually get Hollywood to turn their production to a film.
Danger in the Manger (2012)[edit]
Donald Peterson is an anxious teacher who has just moved to a new house with his pregnant wife Sarah. He accepts a teaching job at St. Bernadette's Primary School, taking over the class formerly taught by Mr. Maddens, who by this point has left for the United States. In the interim, the enthusiastic and childlike teaching assistant Mr. Poppy has been teaching the class unaided.
The class wants to enter in a competition called 'A Song for Christmas', in which each school produces a Christmas song, with the winning song earning its school £10,000 and the chance at being a Christmas #1. However, headteacher Mrs. Bevan refuses the class permission to enter without a qualified teacher, and worries that Mr. Poppy's behaviour is so inappropriate that no teacher will stay in the job.
When Mr. Poppy decides St Bernadette's should enter the National 'Song for Christmas' competition, he persuades Donald to sign the entry forms, later kidnapping him for an impromptu road trip to Gastell Llawen ('Merry Castle', not a real place) in Wales, where the competition is being held.
