Kia-Ora

is it just me, or is this terrifying?

aaahhhhh!

Miracle at St. Anna

One of the few must-sees for me left this year. Reminds me of Red Violin meets Saving Private Ryan. Can't wait.

Top ten films of 2007 - REVISED

01: There Will Be Blood - Paul Thomas Anderson
Epic, brooding and pitch-perfect. Daniel Day-Lewis is stunning as Daniel Plainview, of course.

02: Zodiac - David Fincher
Very cerebral newspaper drama and police procedural thriller. Extremely well cast and exciting to the end.

03: Michael Clayton - Tony Gilroy
Couldn't have been acted any better with a cast of George Clooney, Tom Wilkinson and Tilda Swinton. Another brooding film that truly shows you the psyche of a troubled man while still telling a taut story.

04: The Darjeeling Limited - Wes Anderson
Whimsy abound in this travel film with Wes Anderson's trademark style. Wasn't too well thought of by critics, but what do they know anyway?

05: No Country for Old Men - Joel and Ethan Coen
Beautifully shot movie, a slow burn with a quirky ending that feels a little off. I feel like this movie was a bit overrated, but still it is fantastic and worth a watch anyway.

06: Gone Baby Gone - Ben Affleck
Ben Affleck's directorial debut, of course, starring his little brother Casey. Tells the story of a private investigator in Boston who examines a kidnapping case and ends up in deeper than he bargained for. Really great.

07: Eastern Promises - David Cronenberg
It's David Cronenberg, do I really have to explain more? Okay. It has Viggo Mortensen as a Russian mafioso. There. Now go watch it.

08: Breach - Billy Ray
Chris Cooper stars as FBI traitor Robert Hanssen. Ryan Phillippe leaves a little bit to be desired, to be honest. Still solid.

09: Superbad - Greg Mottola
Hysterical and quotable in every way. Don't miss it.

10: Before the Devil Knows You're Dead - Sidney Lumet
A very dark movie, almost a modern noir film without the aesthetics of that style. Star-studded cast has Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke, Albert Finney, and Marisa Tomei among others. Extremely tight crime thriller with an fresh perspective on the genre.

RIP Psycho

Bye, girl. We'll all miss you.

So I rescued a baby squirrel

He fell out of a tree during a thunderstorm, and was in the process of freezing to death when I warmed him up. He's doing fine now, eating walnuts and apple and wheat bread and is quite rapidly gaining spunk.

Gravenhurst - Animals

they descend upon the city like flies
spraying their eggs into a dead dog’s eyes
it’s England on a Saturday night
I wish I could be like them and I try
but I find it more rewarding to walk along the river
picturing my body discarded in the water
I wonder who will do it and I wonder what they’re doing right now
they opened up the sewers tonight
animals caged in, their appetites
let loose upon the passer-by
and people like me are just parasites
take me to the river
I want to feel the water
closing in and helpless as you’re pushing my head under
I wonder if you’ll do it and I wonder what you’re doing right now
at four am you’re lying right there
with urine and wine dried in your hair
I take you to the river
I want to show you something
I’m making a map from all the flowers I’m collecting
I wonder if I’ll do it and I wonder what I’m doing right now

Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come.

Tom Waits - Lucinda (live)

Well they call me William The Pleaser
I sold opium, fireworks and lead
Now I'm telling my troubles to strangers
When the shadows get long I'll be dead

Now her hair was as black as a bucket of tar
Skin was as white as a cuttlefish bone
I left Texas to follow Lucinda
Now I'll never see heaven or home

I made a wish on silver of moonlight
A sly grin and a bowl full of stars
Like a kid who captures a firefly
And leaves it only to die in the jar
