#3 CINEMA ISSUE
A letter from the Editor

Cinema is the theme of the third issue of TWELV; however, what exactly is cinema? What does it encompass? Certainly, part of cinema is the art of the moving image itself. TWELV drew its inspiration for this issue's theme from classic films set amidst a backdrop of dreaminess and haziness.

For one, there's my all-time favorite movie, 1995 indie flick Smoke, featuring among others, Harvey Keitel. Actually, "favorite" doesn't even begin to describe my adoration. I must have watched the movie some 40-50 times - at least often enough to catch enough of a buzz to be persuaded to make the move from Japan to New York. But I digress. The movie, based in a Brooklyn smoke shop, knits a yarn out of the rather nebulous plots and sub-plots illustrating the customer's daily lives.


Paris Texas Alice Eve

Alice Eve, the blonde bombshell from Star Trek Into Darkness, She's Out of My League, and Sex and the City 2 - to name a few, was recently featured in our Cinema issue, for obvious reasons. The England-native is taking over the big screen, but stopped to talk to us about her love for New York City and play dress-up in gorgeous looks reminiscent of Old Hollywood glamour. Theatrical with an obvious erotic appeal, Eve donned saturated frocks and dramatic coats, from the likes of Prada, Zac Posen, and Miu Miu.
