last night i finally watched "Paris, je t'aime" i had been told to watch it by no less than 10 people so i decided it was time...and it was great. the movie consists of 18 short films, some by directors and actors you know...and some you don't. each film is right about five minutes long and each of them tell a story of love...in the city of love.
a few of the films are just okay but the majority are engrossing, which is amazing to me that a director can make you feel such a strong connection to a character or an emotion based on what you see on-screen in less than five minutes. this is a film i recommend to everyone, even if you don't like one particular film, it's done before you know it and you're on to the next.
another good movie that i watched recently is gattaca, starring ethan hawke and uma thurman. based in the not too distant future where parents can genetically engineer unwanted traits out of their offspring, this movie poses questions about discrimination and what humans are capable of. this one is also worth a watch.
sufjan stevens held a contest in 2007 and gave a newly recorded track to a fan, that fan is alec duffy...here is how he is sharing the song, not conventional...but interesting none the less.
bowerbirds have a new album coming out on july 7th called "upper air"...this is a pretty good band you can check out some videos of them here or listen to them below.
bowerbirds - northern lights
bowerbirds - beneath your tree
that's it for today, enjoy...
