Classic Movie #2- The Umbrellas of Cherbourg in Indie and Classic Films- 2025
I know people adore Singing in the Rain, it is considered, by some, to be one of the best movies ever.... But I loved The Umbrellas of Cherbourg..... possibly because I am melancholy at heart....
Classic Movie #1 Singing in the Rain in Indie and Classic Films- 2025
I’ve heard this is one of the best movies of all time. I did enjoy it, but expected more singing and dancing in the beginning! I guess I was thinking of a stage musical where all words are sung....

Bottoms- indie film #3 in Indie Film 2024
If you love dark comedy and satire, please watch this! I wouldn’t say it is like Heathers, but it has that over-the-top quality about it. This movie is a little like Barbie in that it is communic...

Barbie (indie film #9) in Indie Film 2023
I know it’s not an indie film, but I’ve been watching Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig movies for years. I purposefully didn’t really know anything about this movie before I went into it and I foun...
Theater Camp (indie film #8) in Indie Film 2023
In the vein of Christopher Guest (this is Spinal Tap, a mighty wind, etc.), theater camp is a delightful comedy for all of us drama freaks.

Here I am, trying out a semi-regular post. I think i’ve been feeling the wellbutrin. My sleep is heavier. I feel a little more centered. Today I have a headache, all day. Also, i feel sick, so th...

Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris- indie film #7 in Indie Film 2023
I’d forgotten that I watched this delightful movie a month or so ago. I am not actually sure if it is an independent film. Either way, it made me happy and it will do the same for you :)
Tar- indie film #6 in Indie Film 2023
I finally caught up with Tar- and WOW that ending was intense. I had to read a little about people’s perspectives to get a idea of what (perhaps) was going on. Here is the trailer-

Working part time has been great, despite the halved wage. Luckily I had some savings to booster this year. By the time one year has passed, I will have survived off 45K plus (mostly likely) all ...

White Noise (indie film #3) in Indie Film 2023
I am definitely caught up on indie films now! The director of this movie, Noah Baumbach, also directed Marriage Story (up for Oscars a few years ago). I tend to like his movies, but they are a c...
