Indie Film #2- Society of the Snow in Indie and Classic Films 2026
Wow, I thought this would be gruesome, but it really was a testament to survival and teamwork. I am still reeling, thinking of the people who survived. I would like to read the book, but our loc...
Indie Film #1- Train Dreams in Indie and Classic Films 2026
I fucking loved this film. It was made for me. What does that even say about me? Slow, meditative, deeply sad, moody, introspective. The music was stunning. It really helped me access my deeper ...
Indie Film #3- Wake Up Dead Man in Indie and Classic Films 2026
Catching up on my 2026 movies thus far. Work and parenting have taken a lot of my time. I really enjoyed Rian Johnson’s first Knives Out movie and think I liked this one even better! It took me...
Indie Film #12- A Real Pain in Indie and Classic Films- 2025
I am going through my Letterboxd account to see what movies i have seen and what I may have missed posting. Here is one of them- posting now May 13, 2026. Watched on the plane back from London l...
Indie Film #10 The Ballad of Wallis Island in Indie and Classic Films- 2025
I was lucky to have access to quite a few indie films on our flight back from Europe last August. I am only now able to write (briefly) about them. This was one of my favorite films, along with ...
Indie Film #9- All We Imagine is Light in Indie and Classic Films- 2025
I feel lucky to have seen this film. It was on many top 10 lists last year but was not widely accessible. Indian film full of grace and light and longing.
Indie Film #8- Mickey 17 in Indie and Classic Films- 2025
It was not weird enough. I felt like this movie was trying to portray a message, but… it didn’t go far enough.
Indie Film #7- The Wild Robot in Indie and Classic Films- 2025
What an amazing movie! My kiddo and I have now read the books- she keeps listening to them over and over on audio. Highly recommended.
I am adding this into 2025, because i now recall it is one of the movies I watched on the plane either to Croatia or back home. I can only say that I found a lot of JOY in this movie. Loved the ...
Indie Film #6- The Brutalist in Indie and Classic Films- 2025
One of the best movies I have seen in a long time. Goodness, I love architecture with movies. And the score….. I could gush.
Journaling in Random Thoughts
How does my body feel today? Physically- I am sore, leftover from the intensive weeding I did. It put my body back a little in it’s progress. My right hip is sore in a different spot than usual,...
Intention: in Random Thoughts
What is my intention with taking a “half day” meditation at home retreat? First, I want to slow down. Be in the moment. Enjoy life as it is now, not dreaming about the future (more often this t...

I do not know why I feel so much grief about being excessed from my job. I knew it was going to be a possibility at some point. Also, I think it’s hard for me to hold two different emotions at t...
Classic Film #5- In the Mood For Love in Indie and Classic Films- 2025
Devastatingly moody and sad.
Classic Film #4 Daisies in Indie and Classic Films- 2025
How can I even describe this wild ride of a film??? There is too much I do not know about what was happening in Czech Republic in 1966 to really grasp this movie. But man, it was psychedelic and...
Classic Movie #3- 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 Film # 2- Cleo from 5 to 7 in Indie and Classic Films- 2025
My first venture into Agnes Varda. People adore this film, I liked it but really I did not get it. I think it requires a better understanding of film.
Classic Film #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....

The ending tore me open
Tuesday- indie film #7 in Indie Film 2024

How to process in Random Thoughts
Last night my little one hit her head, not very hard at all.... and seemed to have a seizure. We rose in an ambulance to a local children’s er. They say it could be a concussion.... she seemed t...
The Boy and the Heron- Indie Film #6 in Indie Film 2024
You know what i loved about this one? My 4 year old wanted to watch it a second time. Miazaki seems to have gotten weirder in this one, which is great!
Indie Film #5 The Holdovers in Indie Film 2024
I meant to watch this one a long time ago, knowing I would love it. I saw it somewhere over the Atlantic or Greenland as I was enroute from Dublin to Vancouver BR
Suzume Indie Film #4 in Indie Film 2024
Fun anime I watched this summer while on an airplane crossing the ocean
