fear, excuses, and truth in Random Thoughts
I have so much to say and have not been making the time to write (which is one of the most therapeutic activities). I will try, though. Recently little river and i went to a hippie gathering, ma...
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-
Past Lives- indie film #5 in Indie Film 2023
this solidifies that i love quiet movies. i love and have a quiet soul.
for the sake of in Random Thoughts
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 ...
The Quiet Girl (indie film #4) in Indie Film 2023
I loved this so much that I stayed home from work to finish it (i work half day pm’s on Mondays). I think its out in theaters right now, I saw it on Amazon video.
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...
Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (indie film #2) in Indie Film 2023
So far I have been able to keep up with watching one indie film per month. Streaming and only working part time really helps. For February, I watched Pinnocchio.... in parts and pieces unfortunat...
Marcel the Shell with Shoes On (indie film #1) in Indie Film 2023
A film from 2022, but I am not to worried about that. I will be catching up with indie films I’ve missed as well as trying to see new ones. A heart warming 90 minute film! If you want an uplift, ...
Descendant- indie film #4 in Independent Film 2022
Must see documentary about the community and descendants of the last slave ship in the United States.
fairy godmother in Random Thoughts
i’m stealing a bit i saw from the front page- fairy godmother comes and gives you the perfect day. Mine involves hot springs, the mountains, snow, quiet, yoga, massage, meditation, knitting, read...
RAIN in Random Thoughts
Oh acronyms, how do you feel about dark mornings at 6am. Have you a preference for when your helpful light shines? Ever since coming back from Mexico Ive been going to sleep early (8pm hour) and ...
back to the foundations in Random Thoughts
I am enjoying time to myself. Though, as part of the anxiety, I keep thinking about what i could or should be doing. So many things in the house beyond the cleaning, but cleaning does take most o...
Anxiety in Random Thoughts
It’s been so long since I have written, I might not even know how to write. Funny to think that I have been doing this online journal thing since opendiary and livejournal. The last two years ha...
After Yang (indie film #3) in Independent Film 2022
Kogonada made my favorite film of 2016 or 2017, Columbus. Now he has created this divide piece, After Yang. It toughed my heart. I love it’s slow meditation and soundtrack. This is definitely a ...
The Power of the Dog (indie film #10) in Independent Film 2021
One of the best films of 2021. I need to re watch it.
The Lost Daughter (indie film #2) in Independent Film 2022
Stunning, gripping movie. I was on pins and needles the whole time.
Passing (indie film #9) in Independent Film 2021
Beautiful. How often do we get black and white films, especially when the black and white is such an integral part of the film itself (skin color)
Licorice Pizza (indie film #1) in Independent Film 2022
The sound was weirdly distorted and way too loud at the theater i attended, so this film will need a re-watch, especially since music is a huge part of the experience. I do love PT Anderson!
Dune (opposite of an) indie film #8 in Independent Film 2021
I’ve been waiting for this one for quite a while, so i couldn’t resist including it. I saw Dune at a matinee the day it came out because i took half a day off work. I loved it, but that is becaus...
Annette- indie film #7 in Independent Film 2021
This one was not weird enough. Ok, ok, it was an odd film. Major movie stars probably brought more mainstream viewers who though “WTF am i watching!!!” But compared to this directors previous fil...
can i live on less in Random Thoughts
this has been on my mind since the disaster of last school year. Can i take a different job and make less money? I don’t think i can be a solo parent and teach at the same time. At least not whi...
It's been a year... in Random Thoughts
Not surprisingly, i haven’t written in a while. I actually did not write one entry the whole of last school year’s debacle. It was rough. I seriously considered just quitting or changing jobs. Th...
Crip Camp (indie film #6) in Independent Film 2021
This is a very important film because I feel like many people do not know that when “the world” was protesting against the Vietnam War there were many different groups of folks fighting for their...
The Sound of Metal (indie film #5) in Independent Film 2021
The best movie I’ve seen all year. Riz Ahmed is wonderful in this movie. I love the ending.
