Rushmore, Life Aquatic, THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS!

Wes Anderson has genius status in my world.  Can’t wait to see Moonrise Kingdom.

Our reader and virtual friend, Elle, sent us a link to the Miss Representation trailer last week.  Because I don’t have access to cable right now, I wasn’t able to catch the premier on OWN but can imagine it’s a must see and I just wanted to post it just in case you didn’t get a chance to watch it either.

I was so excited after watching the trailer that I went on their site, signed the pledge and totally want to host a viewing party!

Did you get a chance to watch Miss Representation? If so, what are your thoughts?

Thanks for the like Elle!

At the theatre:  Contagion

I like movies that make you think, What If?  And this one definitely does that.  Contagion also takes an interesting stance on dissemination of information and how it’s controlled -through government – and uncontrolled – through the internet.  We live in interesting times and this movie leaves you contemplating so many things from humanity to morality and definitely has you second guessing yourself for not picking up that extra package of hand sanitizer.

At home: Incendies

I missed this one in the theatres and am happy I remembered the rave reviews it got and ordered it On Demand last night.  A story of familial discovery with a plot twist that will have you in tears, Incendies is a must see.  Be patient because it can be slow, but once you’ve committed you’ll be transfixed and absolutely not disappointed.

Have an amazing weekend lovers!

Page One is documentary film about a year in the life of the New York Times and it’s excellent!  I left the theatre with a renewed respect for the paper and an overwhelming urgency to subscribe to it (not just the e-version, the actual paper one) immediately.

Oh, and I’m totally in love with David Carr and can’t wait to read his book!

Midnight In Paris.

Let me just start out by saying I’m a Woody Allen fan.  Maybe not Woody as a romantic role model, but as a film maker and a story teller, I’m a fan.

Midnight In Paris is a surreal journey through time exploring the idea that we as humans always put such a value on the past and the legends that came before us, all wrapped up in a great story lead buy an awesome performance by Owen Wilson.  It’s funny, thoughtful and really fun to watch – especially after just having read The Sun Also Rises and The Paris Wife.
