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 …

Gomorra (2008)

It was too loud, too brash, too violent, and I loved it. Click on the on the movie’s title to read more!

Wendy and Lucy (2008)

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)

Rosemary’s Baby (1968)

Next Stop, Greenwich Village (1976)

An overly-dramatic yet charming little portrait of 1950s Greenwich Village, seen through the eyes of a struggling Jewish actor, recently moved from Brooklyn. Beatnicks, auditions, and delis, oh my!

BONUS: There’s a young and very awkward Christopher Walken in this …

We accept you! One of us! One of us!

I talk about the effects of medication, Sky and I watch some scary movies, and a random lady gets cranky.

Photo Spree!

A few things at the front of my mind right now, mainly in photos…

1) Medium Cool – a movie we saw last night @ Northwest Film Forum – totally blew my mind. It was a narrative film with a …

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 …
