This movie, geez. It did a number on me, in the very best way. I loved the quiet drama of ‘Old Joy’ so I was really excited to see this director’s next film and it did not dissapoint. I felt …

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)

We saw this as part of Nothwest Film Forum’s “69″ series of movies made in, you guessed it, 1969. Sky had never seen this, and I’d only seen it on a small screen. They had a film copy and it …

RACHEL GETTING MARRIED (2008)

Sky had fun pointing out people he knew in this film (I guess a lot of them were from Big Dance), while I enjoyed the music and the unrehearsed air of the whole affair. Overall, an interesting movie about families …

Rosemary’s Baby (1968)

Chris & Don: A Love Story (2007)

Last night Sky and I watched Chris & Don: A Love Story. I’ve been pondering the idea of relationships: what they mean, how they are formed, their value, etc. a lot in the last few weeks, and seeing this …

Wolf Creek

I like horror movies to be either a) full of ghosties or other supernaturalness or b) campy. Shelly and I saw Wolf Creek this afternoon and I actually left the theatre with about 20 minutes left in the film. I …

I hate when my outside doesn’t match my insides

Planes in the sky going BOOM! KABLAM! and catching on fire.

Does anyone else notice this? Flight 261. 2 other Alaska Airlines planes down for that stabilizer problem. Then another one stops in SFO in the wee hours tonight. 2 …
