All I’m in the mood to do is watch movies

…and maybe make out while I watch them. Have you ever had one of those days? weeks? years? I can’t seem to get myself to envision anything I want to do, but I would like to see the following films: Tulpan because, as Roger Ebert says, “there has to come a time in everyone’s life [...]

The Wrestler

Wow, just saw it. POWERFUL film. My friend and I saw it and we both got a feeling at a certain point in the movie- it just made us want to be kinder to people. It really reminds me of the quote that says to be kind to people- you never know what battles they [...]

Roger Ebert

Film recommendation: Moolaadé

An uplifting story about female genital mutilation, who would believe it? I really don’t like to watch depressing movies, even for a good cause. But Ebert promised that it was uplifting.

Red Headed Step Children Unite! (And go see Little Miss Sunshine)

I haven’t been able to write for awhile because my computer at home won’t pick up the neighbor’s wireless that we are “sharing.” And I can’t write from work because I don’t want anyone from work ever reading this. or this. or even this. But I borrowed a lap top from work, so here is [...]
