movies i love/have seen recently

alright, if you haven't seen Juno yet, for the love of pete, go see it! it's a wonderful movie, very sweet in a sometimes biting sarcastic way. it's funny and loveable so just go see it already.

this weekend i rented Paris, je t'aime which is a collection of twenty short films from various directors. there's quite a few big names in it, both american and french. some of the shorts were great and you connected with the characters almost immediately, some were a little strange, and there were a couple that didn't do anything for me. but overall, i enjoyed it.

i also rented Once. i had heard good reviews on it both from critics and saw some mentions on other people's blogs. i enjoyed it overall. the music was moving and well written...so much so that i bought the soundtrack from itunes. it's not one of those films where everything is wrapped up and tied in a pretty little bow at the end, which to tell the truth can be quite tiresome. it was real. actually, i think the more i contemplate it, the more i like it. so you should watch it too. go ahead...do it! i know you love it when i boss you around so.
