3-D Herzog

I’ve gone and done that dummy move again, where I see something amazing, mean to write about, start a draft, then forget about it. By the time I post these things, they have faded, or I can’t find the right …

SIFF so far this year

Behr came to visit a few weeks ago, and her last day here coincided with the opening of SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival). We decided to do a super movie day which involved watching a movie in the morning, having …

Digging the Dancing Dream

We watched a spectacular documentary/dance film earlier this week: Dancing Dreams (2010) shows 40 teens learning and performing a dance piece under the supervision of Pina Bausch and two of her principal dancers. The kids have never danced …

True Grit (2010)

ハウス/Hausu/House

I’m Gonna Explode (2008)

It’s May, which means just one thing to many Seattleites: the Seattle International Film Festival!

Sky and I didn’t get into the swing of things until late in the festival last year, so this year we tried to get …

Silent Light (2007)

My favorite movie watching experiences usually start with Sky saying “There’s a movie playing across the street that starts in 5 minutes, want to go?”

When I know about a movie – the theme, the actors, the setting – I …
