goodness, i missed the whole month of november. how did that happen? tomorrow i leave for costa rica to visit my good friend lizzie, and then i'll be home for christmas for a bit. it's exciting to finally go on vacation and to actually go back to north carolina for more than four days. yet strange at the same time to be away from austin for a whole month. i will miss salad.
a bit of an update on some films to check out:
superbad
hilarious! ever since knocked up i've been on a crude humor movie kick. judd apatow and company are great though!
hannah and her sisters
this was our thanksgiving movie. we watched it after eating an enormous meal, and it's one of my favorite woody allen movies now. i did a lovely job at choosing this one.
paris, je t'aime
love love love this film! it's a must-see in my book, and i hate that term.
la vie en rose
another french film that i loved. edith piaf was a character and this film did a lovely job at portraying her life and career.
bright leaves
a man's journey following his family lineage through the north carolina tobacco industry. a doc that made me miss my homeland and inspired me to return to the idea of making a film about my family (an idea that will never come to be an actual project).
east of eden
a classic.
my country, my country
an iraqi look at the war on terror. very enlightening.
alpha dog and zodiac
two more mainstream films that i enjoyed also.
wah-wah
paris is burning
this film was very informative and interesting. it's about the balls in nyc in the 80s, when the transgender and gay population competed in "vogueing" and other categories for huge trophies.
the road to guantanamo
an excellent film by michael winterbottom, one of my favorite current directors.
zoo
a beautiful yet extremely hard film to watch. the subject matter is hard to swallow but the photography keeps you intrigued throughout the film.
