While Im in the mood

To futher the talk about Indie films and Foreign films... a good second is Spanish. They do things just as good as the french but with completely different subject matter. A beautiful/hilarious/fucked up Spanish film that you have to watch is Y tu mama tambien (and your mother too). Its one of those instant classics... and u don't even realize you're reading subtitles (always a plus). Just for Perks, Gael Garcia Bernal is a perfect person to have to watch, if u must watch a movie in a foreign language ;)

other badass Spanish (-ish) films

Like water for chocolate

Amores Perros

The Science of Sleep

El Orfanato (The Orphanage)

Stop Sleeping

So, what attracted me to studying film was my affinity for beautiful subjects and stories told in great ways shot at great angles. The people who do it best are the French. Not in a pervy way...okay maybe a little... but the french tell stories in ways that can do nothing but amuse an American mind.... If there's on french film that you have to see (its okay, most of it is in English) then it should be the Dreamers

WHY??? you ask.

for one sole reason. Louis Garrel! Not only is he beautiful but any role he plays, he plays it in a way that is purely effortless and captivating. Get behind foreign cinema people

its amazing...

More films with good old Louis in them...

Chansons D'Amour (Love Songs)

Les Amants Reguliers (The Regular Lovers)

Fingers Crossed

So me and my home slice Jess are planning the ILLEST trip ever for around new years. And anyone i tell this to is like "Oh really where? Miami? Panama?" and I'm like "No Nigga, Toronto!" and then comes the ignorant ass statement of the century "Toronto?!?!? Why would u go there? There's nothing to do." I swear I hate people sometimes. They just say dumb shit without even thinking... Im pretty sure. Needless to say, The drinking age is 19 (woot woot), Marijuana is basically legal in Vancouver, they have the Carabana, and there are no dumb ass Americans there. What's not to love about that. Its gonna be cold as balls though, but it don't even matter. There's nothing like a 16 hour road trip to keep the blood warm :/
